HELP!!!:( Hi:) I just posted about 2 new bathing suits I found last weekend at Beall's:D and they were 50% off too! My thread is somewhere down the page LOL......I am 54 and about the same size as you....not sure if you have a Beall's near you or not but the one near me has a good selection! Both are 2 piece with good coverage on the top and the bottoms fit well too. I would suggest the major dept stores too......Belks, Dillards, JC Penney, Kohl's.......all have larger sizes in swimwear.

mousey Posted July 8, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm 65 and wear a size 16 swimsuit. I get mine at places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Ross for Less. As a matter of fact, I'm going back to TJ Maxx tomorrow because yesterday I passed up a "Miracle Suit" brand one piece and I have just realized I have to have. I hope it's still there when I go back tomorrow!:eek::D These stores carry designer brands at great prices. I usually buy at least two swimsuits a year at these places. Also, you can't beat the price of their coverups!:D JC Penny also has a great selection and good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunebeach Posted July 8, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks everyone for your help...TJMaxx won out...Found one there in solid black and classic style..the DH's eye's bugged a little and he gave me the thumbs up when he saw me in it...who said after 28 years of "wedded bliss" he can't be sweet? For the price 25$ couldn't beat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
