Petticoat fair for swimsuits?

Has anyone ever gotten one there?  I need a swimsuit for the bahamas in 5 weeks!  I'm at what I call an acceptable size so I'm ready to try some on.  I buy my bras there, but never a swimsuit...advice?

Also, my bras from there are the Freya brand.  Anyone know if their swimwear is sized the same as their bras?

TIA!

    I never know if I should respond to PF posts, but here goes :)  

    We have Freya swimwear and it is sized just like the bras.  There are a few other bra-sized swim brands, too.  My advice would be to work with Tina.  She's working today and tomorrow and is awesome at fitting suits.  All the girls are good, of course, but Tina's rock star good at swim.  PM me if you want any other recs of who to ask for if you're thinking of coming in another time.  Oh, and be open to styles.  Our fitters are trained to choose styles and colors based on your body type.  You don't have to love it, but it's worth trying their suggestions on and letting them do their thing.

    Tina's rock star good at everything.  :)  Hopfully one of these days I can go back to her for some more nursing bras.  :)

    1.  I bought my first post-babies suit there last year, and I can't go back to getting suits anywhere else now.  I'd especially recommend them if you're top-heavy.  It's almost impossible to find a suit now that fits my b( o )( o )bs so I need the bra-like fit.

    2.  MrsRosie, cute suit!

    3.  Emer, I'm on a super-tight budget these days.  Is it possible, if I'm getting a 2-piece, to just buy the top half at PF?

    Yes :)  All the pieces are priced individually this year, so you can buy just one piece or mix and match.

    I was hoping you'd chime in :)  I love Freya and it's hard fitting 34Fs into anything else, even XL swim tops. 

    I'm going to try and come by tomorrow, so thank you!
