LLBean has the very nicest bathing suits - any size you may want. I am ready with my newest one for our upcoming trip. They are very good quality and definetly have the woman in mind for satisfaction.

Tip to Remember....if you have not worn your suit for awhile check out the elastic in the legs...I once put on last seasons suit and when I went into the water the elastic disintegrated!!! Made for an interesting pool exit to say the least!!!

I am a Carol Wior Sales rep and can get the info you are looking for. I usually sell orders to hotels, resorts, tanning salons and large department stores. If I can help, please email me.

Thanks,
Missy

I always buy Lands' End. I love their Tugless Tank, and use it for all of my lap swimming and exercising. They have a new "swimfinity" line that is chlorine resistent. I haven't tried that, but I may. The tugless tank has held up very well to chlorine. I always rinse it immediately after every wear and handwash with woolite once a week or so.

They have a great selection of long torso suits! Yeah!! For their entire selection, see http://www.landsend.com/cd/index/fp/...63650932154990

I've been a devotee of Carol Weir Slimsuits (you can do anything in them, even volleyball, and neve have to tug things back in place)for years. However, I scout the styles, then go to E-bay!

I have a Lands End and LlBean swimsuits. They are 5 and 3 years old repectively and still holding up well. Although, I'm not a frequent swimmer (maybe 6 - 8 times a year).

I love shopping at www.nordstrom.com
there is a great selection and there is also live help, just cick on the live help icon and you can "talk" to someone....ask them anything and they will also show you catalog pics.

Even though there is a Nordstrom nearby, I love to shop on line. The descriptions of how the items fit are exact. Their return policy is great too.

I also buy my suits at the season's end on sale at dept stores. However, Target seems to have an increasingly good selection.

Another fan of LLBean and Lands End suits. I have "way too many" of them. Comfortable. Last forever. I used to hate to buy swimsuits until I discovered them.

Oh the swimsuit saga ... sigh ... I ended up with a suit from Lands' End this year. I really like the suit. I just wish it wasn't such a hassle to find a suit that fit. I tired on suits at Wal-Mart, K-mart, Sears, Ross, TJ Maxx, Target ... everywhere I could find a suit. Nothing was "suitable." (ha) (And with my list of shops you can see what kind of selection we have here in my town).

Time was running out before our trip to Florida and I surfed over to Lands' End and found some things I liked (in their clearance section even). I ordered a few things in various sizes and colors and had them shipped 2nd day air. The pieces that didn't fit I simply returned to Sears (love that feature!!).

I don't know why I couldn't find a suit anywhere else. Maybe I wasn't trying the right sizes. Who knows. But it's a hassle when you're shopping by yourself and you can only take a certain number of items into the dressing room. Who wants to keep getting dressed and undressed over and over to keep running back to the racks when the six suits you tried on don't work.

whew! That was a little rant. Sorry. Be glad this wasn't asked three weeks ago when the frustration was more fresh. LOL
