I haven’t given you a view inside anyone’s closet recently, but I did take a fun trip to the Lord & Taylor dress department with Giselle yesterday. I’ll post what we found a little later today.
Unfortunately, I’m once again behind in the swimsuit department. I enjoyed wearing my coral Panache Geneva tankini to the beach in Florida last week. Since it works fine for me right now, I’m not rushing to buy another one. However, some of you are on the lookout, and I’d love it if you’d share your swimsuit findings in a post here. I’ll also link to some of the great reviews I’ve found elsewhere.
One thing I’m noticing: it’s getting hard to find cute bra-sized one piece swimsuits. I think it’s because it’s easier to keep all body shapes happy with the versatility of a tankini. However, I feel like one-pieces offer more support all around. Thoughts?
I have a tankini from a mass-market discount chain in Canada (which was just bought out by Target). I don't think they offered too large of sizes, and they went by dress sizes instead of bra sizes. However, it has a GREAT hidden, partially underwired mesh bra in it. Even with out it, the design of it (separate cups from the bodice) helps with support. It's really up to the design of the suit…I'd never wear a one piece that's made from one piece (like what fitness swimmers tend to wear, the old Speedo style) with no separate bust pieces (I don't find those "cups" in many to offer any support at all). Sure, it can be harder to fit then, because you have a 'designated place' for the girls, but I just don't like the smooshed behind one piece of spandex look, LOL, with no support.
