They're a little more expensive, but totally worth it. I still wear a strapless suit I bought 4 years ago and its in great shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-new-bathing-suit#post-190890 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 04:47:49 +0000 pastemoo 190890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom has a "retro pin-up" category under swim for this season.</p> <p>I love this one: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/profile-by-gottex-tutti-frutti-skirted-one-piece-swim-dress/3323411?origin=category" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/profile-by-gottex-tutti-frutti-skirted-one-piece-swim-dress/3323411?origin=category</a></p> <p>I love this halter skirt swimdress:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/betsey-johnson-french-pastry-skirted-one-piece-swimsuit/3261642?origin=related-3261642-60149156-0-1-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/betsey-johnson-french-pastry-skirted-one-piece-swimsuit/3261642?origin=related-3261642-60149156-0-1-1</a></p> <p>And this one is on sale: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/betsey-johnson-lace-is-more-one-piece-swimsuit/3238621?origin=related-3238621-0-0-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/betsey-johnson-lace-is-more-one-piece-swimsuit/3238621?origin=related-3238621-0-0-1</a></p> <p>This one has a skirt, but the back is bare.

So cute! I have a bunch of bathing suits from them &amp; have been happy with how they've held up. </p> <p>If anyone is thinking of ordering separates from them that isn't familiar with lands end bathing suit sizing, I'd order up for bottoms. The tops always seem plenty roomy, but the bottoms always seem to cut into the hip thigh area (right where you don't want it to!) and going up a size seems to make them fit right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-new-bathing-suit#post-189653 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 16:03:16 +0000 duckduckkristen 189653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Athleta suit that @cocobee pinned and I love it. Just had my baby 6 weeks ago and it covers everything. Shows a lot of cleavage, but comes in bra sizes.
