Well I never thought I would find myself swimsuit shopping (I'm usually the pale gal in shorts and Spud's tee shirt at the beach) but since I lost a little weight and am going on an actual vacation, at an actual location not near my home, I thought I should at least check into some sort of beach gear. Usually, I end up with something that offers no support to the "girls", runs too short in the torso, and is made of not so fantastic material.
After a week long search, I decided to give Lands' End a try. I buy Short Stack's winter coats from there, and love their quality and great service, and read some fantastic reviews about their swimwear. I ordered a high waist swimskirt and long tank with some sort of "suck it in" technology for curve control. I waited patiently for my box to arrive, and tried them on.
Was I shocked! I looked like an actual human! The suit was well made, and though the little metal ring accent under the bust did nada for me, the material was fantastic and the suit gave great support to all curves! I look like a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model!!! OK, not really, I look more like Lillian Russell at her best, but still, I fully intend to strut my stuff on the coast this spring. Kudos to Lands End for actually making swimwear buying less scary and dare I say it, a bit enjoyable. Just a tiny bit though, it is after all, still a bathing suit.
