NBR: Swimsuit ?

dee1369

Where can I buy a nice one-piece swimsuit? I am a bikini wearer, and have maybe 20 (lol) but don't think I'll be pulling it off this summer because of my stretch marks and linea negra, so I want to find a sexy one-piece that will cover my hip area (therefore the worst of the stretch marks) - no monokinis!

Any suggestions? I am not looking to spend a ton, since I'm hoping to be back in my bikini by the following summer.

I always buy actual swimmer's swim suits from a sports store. I find the fit better without being an "old lady" print.  Only probably is they are not sized like typical women's sizing so sometimes it takes a little getting used to/to figure out your size.  The sports store I buy from usually has a list that says if you're x in womens size you'll be y in suit. Another thing I like about them as tight swim suits help swimmers go faster but sucking everything in I find it helps with any not so pretty looking areas

Yeah, I'm not used to these hips of mine yet, some sucking in might be nice! lol

something like this has a "power lining" for a slimming solution.

that is all I found in a quick search. VS used to have some nicer one pieces but when I looked they were all $100+ so not sure what that is about. It has been awhile since I have shopped for clothing, like 10 months lol.

I got this, and even with my 25 extra pounds I kind of love it

I just got this one last week,

and I love it. it is very slimming and wide hip friendly Its from Anthropologie, they have a lot of great 1 pieces right now. They are kind of pricey, but if you are like me and only buy like 1 swimsuit each summer then I think its worth it for how many times you wear it for the price.

Also if you want something to conceal your hips area, Juicy Couture makes a lot of 40's skirted styles that I love that are super flattering, I have never been a bikini girl and I love vintage styles so I have a few colors in this one, and even after baby it still fits the same-

OMG I love those vintage styles... 

VS used to have a better selection, I was really disappointed when I looked because I usually get my suits from them. 

Thanks for all of the suggestions, keep 'em coming!

I got the same one today and like it too.  I still have 18 lbs to go and it still looked good.  It's actually slimming in the belly area or that's how I felt
