Ugh! It's that time of year--time to find a new swim-suit. Actually, I really don't need a new swim-suit--I don't have pool in my yard; I don't belong to a swim club; I'm not going on a beach vacation. I rarely need to wear a swimsuit. So why do I put myself through it? Because, it always feels like if I could just find the "perfect" suit, all would be right in the world!
So, I'm in TJ Maxx the other day & I noticed they had a pretty good selection, so I armed myself with assorted styles, colors, & Sizes and headed to the fitting rooms. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It appears that swimsuit designers are finally getting it mostly right. There are some pretty good options out there and here's what I found:
The Skirt: Be careful with these. It's deceiving. It might seem like putting a skirt on will hide & camouflage--but for me, stretching more fabric across my rear was not great option. I decided against this--but it might work for you. I would make sure the skirts are "short" and not too long. Also, if you go with a skirt--try a bra style top. The balance gives an amazing look.
Shirring: This was my best option. The more Shirring the better!! Shirring covers all lumps, bumps, bloating, muffin tops, etc. I think it works for everyone--. Love it!
Miracle Suit: These suits are made of super Lycra that will suck you in a whole size! However, just try taking these suits off--it's a struggle! In fact, It's a Miracle to get the darn thing off without pulling something! Try the Miracle Suit - you might have to size up for comfort. They're very TIGHT.
Wrap Suit: Just like the wrap dress--gives you a Waist! Very pretty. Add some shirring to the wrap and now you've got a real winner! The perfect suit for me!
So, I'm still searching...not sure if I found the perfect suit, but I was very close. It's always humbling to stand in the dressing room, with the mirrors, the Untanned skin, the lighting, etc. Think I'll stick to Fruit only for lunch for a while.....
