Cruiseoholic000 Posted June 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I am trying to help my mom find a really good bathingsuit. She is a size 2 or 4 and want something that will be proportionally well on top (she is a C) and covers the fanny really well. Any website and recommendations would be appreciated.

diane.in.ny Posted June 4, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I would suggest LL Bean and Lands End. I've bought from both and they are quality suits. If you can get one on sale that is great because they are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted June 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2016 There are a few suits on Garnet Hill that I would think would be nice on a Senior lady. funny - I'm 62, but I am NOT in ANY way a Senior… When I hear "senior", I think someone in their 80s ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLite Posted June 4, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Another vote for Lands End. And they sell great cover ups whether a tunic, dress or beach pants to coordinate. You did just miss a huge sale online of Tommy Bahama Outlet suits that were as much as 86% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might like one with a skirt. I have a cute one that I feel comfortable in when I am spending more time out of the water. It covers the top of the thigh and is very flattering.

Seems at each stage in our life, "old" is about 20 years older than we are.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseoholic000 Posted June 8, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted June 8, 2016 My mother may be called a senior but she she is not. We go horseback riding, and does a variety of activities. I hope I am as fit as she is (late 70's) when I am that age. When I wrote my post I was thinking of a age appropriate swimsuit. Yes a skirt is a must and probably cover more of the chest area. Thank you all for the suggestions. I am trying to help my mom find a really good bathingsuit.

Sandy Sails Posted June 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I would recommend a tankini - with swim shorts or swim skirt and a separate long top. She can get one pair of the swim shorts/skirt and more than one top to go with. It's much easier to use the restroom with a 2-piece than a 1-piece, and you get more variety.

aoknkentucky Posted June 20, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 20, 2016 LandsEnd mastectomy bathingsuit tops offer more coverage and are more modest. Inserts can be easily removed. They cost more, but are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhsocal Posted June 20, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes, tankini style is a good choice and Lands End is having a summer sale. Swim tee is an idea for a coverup that can be worn in water. Some women wear it just as a top, if you are a "C" on top, would probably want something underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted July 13, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'm 69 and get most of my swimsuits at either TJ Maxx or Marshalls. You can get designer suits there for a great price. I have two Michael Kors ones that I love. I don't wear swimsuits with skirts...it's just not my thing as I feel it ages you...but if you think your mom would be okay with that then there are lots of choices out there. I recently came across this website that offers lots of choices and sizes. It's swimsuitsforall.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do water aerobics and have ordered many high top suits from them. It always pays off to do a search for coupon codes as well, sometimes I can get a suit for less than $30.

There were several at JC Penney that were in junior sizes and were very cute. I have a tankini with a skirt and one with boy shorts.....and I am under 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
