But I went the wimpy route and just ordered a couple from online that I figured might fit and then sent back the ones that didn't.<br /><br />The first one had a skirt. Ya know, good in theory, but since it wasn't pinned down, I was picturing myself with this floating ring of lycra around me.<br /><br />I did find 2 that I'm going to keep. Both have modesty type skirts but they are actually pinned down so they shouldn't float.<br /><br />This is the one that I sent back http://www.womanwithin.com/clothing/V-neck-plus-size-swimdress-by-Swim-365.aspx?PfId=187107&DeptId=9296&ProductTypeId=1&PurchaseType=0<br /><br />And this is the one that got my husbands engines running so I'm gonna keep it. http://www.womanwithin.com/clothing/Fabulous-retro-plus-size-swimsuit-by-Resorts-Plus.aspx?PfId=187176&DeptId=9296&ProductTypeId=1&PurchaseType=0<br /><br />Hope that helps some other big girls find something!Ugabugabowlshttp://ugabugabowls.artfire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118514403475594574.post-9428358570508535082010-04-24T13:48:08.045-05:002010-04-24T13:48:08.045-05:00LOL, love that article. It took twenty years but ...LOL, love that article. It took twenty years but they finally started making shorts for bathing suits but they haven't figured out the top part yet. I saw one in the store a month ago and thought it was perfect - shorts and a loose top with bra. Tried it on and the shorts were perfect but they left about a foot of material off the top - picture the great expanse of belly in between. I swim in the ocean - people would be yelling "ORCA!" Nope, they haven't quite got it yet.Susanna Originalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158392727581242565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118514403475594574.post-11856558989106179712010-04-24T13:08:28.182-05:002010-04-24T13:08:28.182-05:00Funny :)

Even one stopplusone.com has some good cupped bra.<br /><br />My worst mistake was a swim dress. It literally was a dress over a bathing suit. Didn't really flatter, I looked pregnant, but it was also a miracle suit, so I was squeezed in tight. Why bother squeezing every thing if it covered.<br />The big killer was with all the extra materal, it weighed about 20 pounds wet. And took 2 days to completely dry out. I wore it twice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118514403475594574.post-50906139157298109152010-04-24T08:09:19.411-05:002010-04-24T08:09:19.411-05:00Heehee....
