So I can take it on and off if you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247976 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 11:27:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 247976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Oh boo!! I've never ordered from there, but I love their style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247934 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:37:53 +0000 brownie 247934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I wear a rash guard over my swimsuit. Then you could wear the one you already have. I've worn it over 2 and 1 piece. I also find it easy to nurse in. I take one arm out of my suit but wear the rash guard over.</p> <p>So I second the polka for and rash guard then you can pick and choose when and what. </p> <p>I am allergic to the sun so I just picked up wetsuit pants and water socks as well for a full day in the sun (waterpark). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247926 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:22:07 +0000 Pink Champagne 247926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The retro ones from modcloth are darling! The last thing you need if you're self conscious about your tummy is MORE fabric blousing around it- it will just make you look bigger. Those mod cloth ones look like they're super flattering.<br /> And you should always wear sunblock, lady! Protect that beautiful skin! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247919 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:16:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 247919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: shabby apple clothes are so cute! i didn't think to look there. i ordered a dress from there once though, and the fit was so bad. </p> <p>@rachiecakes: you're probably right!</p> <p>@BoogieBea: do rashguards have cups sewn in? it looks like they don't. otherwise don't your nipples just show unless you weara bikini under?</p> <p>@looch: thanks! i just checked it out and looks like they don't have a big selection right now.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247805 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 07:43:33 +0000 looch 247805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another option is Athleta (on the gap site) if you're looking for rash guards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247777 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 06:20:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 247777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh I love the retro one too! The rash guard is a close 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247771 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 05:25:32 +0000 mediagirl 247771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the first two!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247750 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:20:46 +0000 BoogieBea 247750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for the rashguard. I prefer to wear a rashguard if I'm going in and out of the water. Less surface area to have to re apply sunscreen. But I also like the retro suits so I would get one of those and the rashguard to interchange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247709 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 22:30:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 247709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like your choices. I voted for #1 (I like the idea of having some loose over the tummy) Did you look over at Shabby Apple? They have pretty retro styles bathing suits. Here are a few (I like, and ratings are pretty good)</p> <p>[attach=62/12/m87oec.360x600.1583_1_.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=62/12/m87oef.360x600.1587_1_.jpeg] </p> [attach=62/12/m87oeu.360x600.1584_1_.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247703 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:57:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 247703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the polka dot one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247695 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:42:25 +0000 winniebee 247695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted on the other thread but am a fan of the jcrew vneck ruched one piece. Super flattering - I'd stay away from the blousy top since you are petite it will make u look line u have a tummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247681 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:28:53 +0000 rachiecakes 247681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The retro suits are adorable in person but trust me, your boobs will pop out of that one, too! The models must have low &amp; little boobs, it's not supportive and the neckline is really low </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247672 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:07:40 +0000 irene 247672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the Polka Dot faux blouson one piece - makes me want to buy one too. ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247663 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:59:21 +0000 mrsjazz 247663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had my eye on those modcloth retro suits! I say go for it, it's hot mama style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247659 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:51:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 247659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm voting mod cloth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247655 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:44:43 +0000 Arden 247655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE the red polka dot retro suit.

Probably too hot for NY summers.. although, the protection from the sun is nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-swimming-suit#post-247637 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:33:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 247637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mr. Bee's parents live on the beach (they run b&amp;b style cottages), so we will be spending a lot of time in the water. I surfed around for 15 min for some swimming suits that might address the boob popping out problem I had at the pool earlier today. </p> <p>Polka Dot faux blouson one piece - loose shape hides the belly well and is quite modest.<br /> <a href="http://shorl.com/totyvystubrere" rel="nofollow">http://shorl.com/totyvystubrere</a></p> <p>[attach=2/12/m87j08.331x414.bloomies.jpg]</p> <p>Modcloth retro suits (high neckline + halter provides extra support)<br /> <a href="http://shorl.com/stybigakonono" rel="nofollow">http://shorl.com/stybigakonono</a></p> <p>[attach=2/12/m87j09.576x491.modcloth.jpg]</p> <p>J crew striped rash guard - then I'll really be covered and won't have to worry about sunblock<br /> <a href="http://shorl.com/fyfapostastenu" rel="nofollow">http://shorl.com/fyfapostastenu</a></p> <p>[attach=2/12/m87j0a.418x418.63486_KE2228_m.jpg]</p> <p>Feel free to suggest other options!
