I think it's La Blanca brand, which they carry at Macy's, but I got it at a fraction of the cost. Will see if it fits this year (bought it last year when boobs were bigger and I was a little slimmer). But, they always have a pretty good selection. Last year, when DD was just over 1 and still nursing heavily, I was looking for underwire cups that I could easily pull down to nurse in. TJ Maxx had the most cheap options for a little more support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431480 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:39:10 +0000 raspberries 1431480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out figleaves.com - you can order by bra size (for those of us with vastly different bottoms from tops, that can be a life saver!) All the suits I've gotten from there have been good quality and have lasted 3+ years so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431473 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:35:54 +0000 cmomma17 1431473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I have always worn two piece in the past. I have had a tankini style top with regular bottoms, halter kind of top with boyshorts, etc.<br /> it's been soooo long and my body is so different now! I am currently trying to eat better and workout more, but my insecurity lies in my belly. I love my legs, I have good arms (I'm thin overall, just the belly is my major issue), and my nursing boobs need a boost! I'd go with a supportive/padded top for sure!</p> <p>I'm open to one pieces, but I'm leaning more towards two pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431469 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:34:55 +0000 CottonCandy 1431469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Oh I love that suit!!

You're not alone in the pool anymore, you've got a kid that's going to be grabbing you from all directions and you need a suit that can handle that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431465 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:33:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 1431465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First, what kind of suit are you looking for . . . bikini, tankini, one piece? And secondly, what areas would you like to highlight and any areas you aren't so comfortable with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431463 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:33:04 +0000 cmomma17 1431463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CottonCandy: I'll try macy's! thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431460 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:32:42 +0000 cmomma17 1431460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: that's super cute! :)</p> <p>@mrs.pen: maybe I'm not seeing the cute because I'm in denial over having to wear a bathing suit :silly: I'll check out modcloth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431455 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:31:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1431455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J. Crew was where I got mine - maybe they haven't come out with the cute ones yet. Mine is really flattering.</p> <p>I also love the ones at Albion fit. I have my eye on the black/white ruffled one piece. I have had good success with modcloth as well.</p> <p>ETA: I don't buy bikinis anymore either since my stomach is a map of stretch marks. But i know someone who loves venus for bikinis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathing-suits#post-1431454 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:31:29 +0000 petunia354 1431454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a bikini person so I'm really loving this one from Loft!

I haven't WORN a bathing suit in at least 2 years! I need something new this summer .... with LO here now and in-laws having a pool just down the street, it's inevitable/unavoidable!</p> <p>Where do you guys find cute, flattering, not ridiculously expensive suits? I have looked at Target, Old Navy, J Crew, Victoria's Secret, ASOS, and Lands End so far. Nothing caught my eye ... </p>
