Love Tommy Bahama suits, really flattering for me when I was around a size 14, and I actually wore them pregnant too.
I also like the Land's End suits. |
| I'd buy the Lane Bryant suit for myself. The lands end ones are good too. I have a huge chest and I'd run from your original suggestion, OP. I think the contrast lines just highlight the boobs instead of blending them in. |
Another apple shape here and I agree that this is a better style than empire waist anything... I have a suit similar to this and i wore it all summer and it are me feel incredibly sexy. |
| OP, you sound like you have the same exact shape as me. FWIW, I actually have the first suit you posted about, as well as the other Grecian Land's end suit. The original on you posted is bad - not necessarily because of the suit, but those straps are super thin and suck at holding up the girls. The Grecian one held up well and was flattering - although I like the Land Bryant one too ( thinking about gettting it myself!) |
This are hideous - the swim dress, especially. Sorry PP. OP, I think your posted suit is fine, especially if you have nice arms/shoulders. I'm sure J. Crew has some nice one-piece suits on clearance now as well. |
The Lands End Grecian suit IS great, but it is also $110, which is exactly what the OP said she didn't have to spend. |
Update, looks like some colors are on sale! http://www.landsend.com/pp/AlloverControlGrecianSlenderSwimsuit~215339_593.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::RIB&CM_MERCH=IDX_Overstocks-_-Women-_-Swimsuits-_-OnepieceSwimsuits&origin=index |
Are you kidding? As if JCrew has a reputation for flattering apple shaped women. Do they even carry over size 10? |
| I have to say I'm an apple shape for sure. Small breast, large waist, smaller hips. This is something new for me, so I am having a rough time finding a bathing suite that I would wear. Personally, I would not wear any of the one pieces unless they look like the dress. However if they are tight on me I will not wear them. I like a long loose fitting tankini. |
