I am in need of some serious help -- going nuts about bathing suit

[Anonymous]

I am going to the beach for a week in a couple of weeks, and have become obsessed with bathing suits. I am 5'2" and very fit, but weigh more than I want to. I'm somewhere in between an 8 and and a 10. My boobs are a C -- they're fine, but Ive never been into deep cut bathing suits. I have a bit of a tummy, but nothing terrible.

Since I have no time to go out to stores and try things on (and little inclination), I have ordered ALL of the following (some of which have not even arrived).

What do you think of the following:

I thank you.

My sanity thanks you.

I like the first one. But you probably won't be able to tell until you try them on.

As far as style goes, I like the first speedo one. The nordstrom, and bloomies might help the tummy area, but look old lady-ish.

[Anonymous]

Woops, the first one has my vote PP here.

[Anonymous]

First one speedo, or first one bloomingdales?

[Anonymous]

I like both the speedos (depends on your coloring which one would be better) and I like the marc jacobs one.

Thank you. Surprised about the Speedos. I thought those would be joked about, but since I do like to actually swim, I always look at their stuff. I already have the reddish one. I thought the bottom was black in the pic, but it is actually a chocolate brown, which I like less. But I am keeping it. What do you think of the one I forgot to post that I posted under a different title?

I would be very happy if I could pull the Marc Jacobs one off, but I'm not counting on it.

I like the first bloomie with the fish.....I do not like the one you posted on the other thread

This is terrible but the first thing I thought of when I saw the Marc Jacobs was "that suit has pacmans all over it". Sorry, it is my least favorite. I think since you are a swimmer go for one of the speedo or the athleta ones. Athleta suits get great reviews for fit and comfort.

Well, the first of the Miracle Suits arrived today and it's going back. The Speedos are looking better and better and the price is great.

I do have hope for the Athleta one.

At least I feel like I have a suit I can wear that is sanctioned by DCUMs.

You know, jeans are tough enough.

Bathing suits should be outlawed.

Unless you're Pamela Anderson. Mother of two.

I like the Athleta one. Their suits tend to be flattering, in general. And high quality. That's a nice cut, too.

Speedo ones were my favorite out of all -

The consensus of crowds can sometimes amaze me. Prior to this, I thought the Speedos were the granniest of them all.

I think those look like PacMans too. I like the Athleta one the best, hands down. Great suits. I own three.
