Two Piece Bathing Suit

Recommended Posts

Land's End carries maximum coverage suits....and, I think LL Bean does, too.

If all else fails, how about a tankini or 1 piece?

 

Guess I am looking for the sexy but higher up. Hate one piece. Like the freedom of the two piece.

I ordered 4 Lands End suits 2 wks ago - kept 2:D Tons of varieties of bottoms - love that you can buy tops & bottoms separately. LE also has great underwire bra top options - and I can sort by large size too. Can also search by long torso, etc. If you sign up for their emails, they send free shipping offers out regularly.

 

Is this too low still? http://s7.landsend.com/is/image/LandsEnd/402331_AL11_FF_HZ8?op_sharpen=1&rgn=0,0,2000,3000&scl=5.882352941176471&id=YEaqi3

 

This one is almost to the belly button on the model: http://www.landsend.com/pp/TummyControlSwimsuitBottom~168959_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BLA&CM_MERCH=IDX_Swimwear-_-Women-_-Sale-_-ShopbySilhouette-_-BottomsSkirts&origin=index

 

This one is above the waist - would have to wear this with a tankini top I think, which you didn't want: http://www.landsend.com/pp/ShapeWearHighwaistSwimsuitBottom~219550_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::CHE&CM_MERCH=IDX_Swimwear-_-Women-_-Sale-_-ShopbySilhouette-_-BottomsSkirts&origin=index

 

There's more!

I like the one almost to the belly button but it has that shapewhere stuff in it that is not comfortable for me. I have IBS and my tummy hurts a lot.:( I will look at landsend some more. Thanks

Not all the Lands End bottoms have shapewear in them;)

 

I find - this time of year, you get great sales but not great selection from department stores. Even LE - many of the larger bust sizes tops are sold out not. I can still find stuff- but it is more difficult. That's ok for me - I prefer to shop around (online) and get the better price anyway - but can be frustrating when you're looking for something very specific. Good luck!

I found that by putting the word "retro" in lots of sites came out. I also found that retro is very popular. Here is a pic of the suit I bought. Hope this works. I am still shopping:D

I also love LandsEnd. I have 5 tops and 5 bottoms...many that I use interchangeably. I will soon have 7, because I recently bought two more suits to add to my collection! ;)

 

I've found that LandsEnd suits wear like iron for me. They fit me well, and you can't beat their customer service. And they have FANTASTIC sales. I find that you just have to keep looking at items you like during sale periods. Yes, sometimes sizes/colors just plain sell out during sales, but sometimes it seems that options become available again, for whatever reason. I almost bought a suit and then it sold out in my size. Less than 2 weeks later, I was able to purchase the suit, in my size, for less money (it was a better sale and I had a coupon code). Go figure!

 

LandsEnd usually has some great coupon codes 'out there' for online shopping. I never pay for shipping and a % off is great too. Check out some of the coupon sites before you shop - one I use frequently is retailmenot.com

 

Also be sure to check the overstock area of LandsEnd as well as their regular shopping area. Many Sears Stores do take returns (but not all), and since I have one near me that does take returns, it's very convenient to return to Sears and not deal with mailing something back if it just doesn't work for me.
