Swimsuit recommendations, please

SteveDallas · 01-15-2005, 05:35 PM

Anybody know of a place in the Philadelphia area that might sell one-piece women's swimsuits (preferably that don't cost a mint)? Mrs. Dallas has been looking for one, but all she can find are the "tankini" models, which she doesn't like. (Yeah, I know it's out of season......)

She might want to try a sporting goods store, like Modell's or Sports Authority.

And the swimsuits should be coming into stores like Penney's any time now...Spring Break is only 6 weeks away.

I think she did all that, but I'll suggest it again.

(I'm hoping to stem the complaints on the subject...

)

elSicomoro · 01-15-2005, 05:43 PM

What about the Sears or Penney's catalogs?

melidasaur · 01-15-2005, 06:04 PM

I would recommend either LLBean or Land's end Catalogs... one of them (can't remember which) has good one piece swimsuits and I think a decent return policy should it not fit.

J.Crew has fantastic swimsuits, only online right now though, and they run about 2 sizes smaller than dress size. Gap Body has some nice ones right now too, although I can't remeber if they have any one-piece.

The hands-down best store for women's swim attire is Speedo.

Nah...Wickedweasel

You could check forman mills. Being a discounter, they might carry leftovers year round.

Why did I know this was going to happen if I posted this question?

How about here?

I'm not sure the Mrs is brave enough to wear one in public (or private), but it's an interesting concept.

How the hell are we supposed to know if those look good if they're not being modeled?

SteveDallas · 01-19-2005, 07:18 PM

You know, Brian, I didn't think we would see anything LESS likely for her to purchase than the Wicked Weasel collection, but I guess I was wrong.

s c o r e !

Now, is there anything LESS likely than you taking shots of her in this outfit and posting it to this thread?
