I'm okay with Lands End but I'm 47. OP is 28!! She can do much better. Lands End will be there for you in 10-15 years, OP. All in good time.

Titlenine has great tankinis, and cute bikinis too. On the sporty side (some of their stuff does run small)

I'm one of the first posters (I suggested the La Blanca suit). I agree with this, though I'm just going for a cuter one-piece. I'm 37 and have worn lands end suits for a couple of years. But I'm tired of having the exact same suit as every other mom at the pool! I recognize them all from the catalog .

This J crew swimsuit has been my go-to the last few years.

Several of the reviews mention post-baby bodies too lol

I like Athleta suits. Cute, good coverage and comfortable but not frumpy.

NP and I'm also short and have found the torso on Land's End suits is way too long on me. Just an FYI since OP is 4'11"

Athleta is a little younger, sportier, but still mom-figure friendly. Also, their styles are good if you are vertically-challenged, sometimes the Lands End bottoms make shorter legs look like two stumps

I agree with Boden. I'm 35 and think Lands End is frumpy.

I just bought a bathing suit from Patagonia. I am 31 but in the same life space. They have some very cute options.

+1. Mod cloth has good options. Quality is questionable, but they are cute!
