I'm due in August so I need to find a maternity suit. I tried a couple at Target that did not work at all. I'm going to hit up a couple of maternity stores this weekend and see if they have something that is better suited for my giant belly.
This will be our first year having a neighborhood pool and I am really excited!

I call mine The Fred Mertz. It's too big on me but I can't find one that fits so I still wear it. The skirt part goes past me knees since it was from before my weight loss surgery. I look like the people out if the 1920's. it's quite a sight.
Thanks Waffles! KKD - the suit is Tommy Bahama. I got it from Everything But Water. It was semi-pricey, but I'm okay with that since it actually looks good on my teeny chest. LOL

karma, go out and find another suit. there must be something out there for you. you should not be wearing something that goes past your knees.

I might need to get a suit custom made for me. After the cometic surgery left my body disfigured and I decided against the second part I can't find anything that fits me. I searched all last summer and couldn't find anything. That's why I still have The Mertz.

My tailor makes custom swimwear. Could you look up something similar in your area?

I'll look into it. I didn't know that anyone really could make me one. I know I need to do something. J is probably getting his tubes out this summer so we need to start swimming lessons and beach days. I really can't be seen in The Mertz.
This is mine - I never wear swim suits (I never have time to go to the beach). I bought it from Target n 2011 for my Honeymoon. I bought this one and the same style in purple and black with polka dots - so I have three. They were all on clearance, all three for the price of one! It seems similar to "The Suit"...
Something like this, with a solid swim bottom and a printed swim skort, whichever I'm in the mood for. Last year's style, though, nothing new this year. Foe some reason I can't figure out how to PIP today.

Well, I bought a Lands End tankini, but was encouraged (by H who just shook his head in silence, and MLers kind words) to return it. So I did. As it stands, I'll probably wear this:
But with a new top, because that one doesn't quite fit me right any more. No quotes please.
As I suspected, the Suit did not work on my body type. I will probably end up wearing my old suits, most of which look similar to this. Be totally honest with me, would you be a little judgey if you saw a mom chasing around 2 little kids at the pool in this? I always feel a tad awkward, which is why I want a 1 piece, but none of them ever seem to work. Sorry for the horrible pic, my phone got water in it and now takes cloudy pics.
