SFM: Help me find a swimsuit!
I am looking for a new swimsuit for July 4 week at the cottage. Money is not really an object - I buy a swimsuit once every few years and am willing to pay for quality.
Criteria:
- One piece
- I really want a retro, polka dot style like this: https://www.modcloth.com/shop/onepiece-swimwear/beach-blanket-bingo-one-piece-in-red
- Needs to be sold by bra size. I rock a 34F/G. (The lack of bra sizing is why I haven't ordered the ones I've found so far.)
Good luck! (I haven't had any so far, but maybe one of you knows a place??)
Re: Super shoppers: help me find a swimsuit!
Totally agree, but I don't live near any stores that carry bra-sized swimwear (that I know of.) What I usually do is order a couple sizes and return the ones that don't work.
I have a suit from here that has lasted my into the 4th year now.
I'm not sure about the bust thing though. Good luck!
