Yet another vote for Lands End. I love their little virtual ME model. And thanks for the tip - I didn't know you could return them to Sears, though I've not had to return one yet. For me, I find the sizes run true - but then I tend to stick to one basic style in various colors, etc.
Used swimwear? Bleeeech!

All these fellows flattering us by suggesting Victorias Secret & Fredericks! I guess they don't know why we are looking for Miraclesuits and tummy control!!! Keep up the good work with our images! Bonnie I had a Miraclesuit that I wore for several years and never took gook care of it...washer and dryer sometimes and it lasted forever! It also had more substantial cups in it that some of those flimsy things...lift and support or whatever they used to say!

bonniebroad, I use cold water and Ultra Swim (de-chlorinator) shampoo. Towel dry and then either lay flat or hang to dry. This seems to cut down on the "dry rot" of the elastic.
Oh yes, and you fellows, of course I ONLY wear Victoria Secret and Fredericks of Hollywood! (Well I can dream, can't I?
OSB.

I've had great luck with Venus swimwear. They have a nice selection of styles and you can mix and match tops and bottoms - http://www.venusswimwear.com/

Hi anne:
I'll have to agree with everyone on the Lands' End idea. Many styles aren't for me but every season I find 2 or 3 that I've liked. What is nice is that they have short and long torso and high and low leg shapes to compliment everyone's figures. Venus is the abolute worst suggestion, its for very young, extremely thin women, I'm a size 6/8 and would never wear the suits. Victoria Secret has its share of one pieces that are flattering.

Victoria's Secret has many nice suits. They're catalogs have a lot more styles/colors than the stores do.
I like the Liz Claiborne suits, I can purchase them at the outlets in Seaside, OR for very good prices! That way you can also accessorize with pareos, visors, matching flip-flops and beach bags.
I also like the Spiegel catalogs. I recently purchased two suits there online. They have great sales,too!
Nordstrom's has very nice suits. Anne Cole is one of my favorite designers. My lilac colored swimsuit with the mesh around the middle is one of my favorites. I think I got it on sale for about $39.00! And no sales tax in Oregon.
I'm in the water every day and we go to a gym where jacuzzi soaks are weekly rituals, so at this time I think I have ten swimsuits to choose from and I just found two more that I like in the Spiegel catalog.
I'm currently looking for a strapless style to stop all the different tan lines! ***kim***

Had to report that I, a dedicated Carol Wior suit girl, just bought my first Miraclesuit on sale, $120 cut to $39....... a gorgeous black number, and I love everything about it. Also decided to try a Longitude ($90 cut to $28), and it is terrific. For those who need a little more length in your suit, the Longitude is great!!! Guess I'm not just a Carol Wior girl anymore!!!
