I know Soma does, but I'm not sure about in store. I've actually seen it at TJ Maxx and Marshall's, too, but only seasonally. I bought mine off Amazon so I could take advantage of free shipping and returns. The tankini and the hipster bottoms are really flattering on me-so much ruching! I hope it works for you! They also go on Zulily a couple times a year if you know your size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear/page/2#post-2089098 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 19:24:35 +0000 ladybee 2089098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Im going to try the tankini you posted. I'm giving myself one month to finally ditch the last 5-10 pounds of baby weight and then I'm shopping. Do you know if anywhere carries that line in store? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear/page/2#post-2089076 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 19:01:17 +0000 blackbird 2089076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: boo !!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear/page/2#post-2089029 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 18:19:08 +0000 ladybee 2089029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well that swimsuit looked horrible on me so I am starting over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear/page/2#post-2080108 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:01:03 +0000 MrsKoala 2080108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ASOS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear/page/2#post-2080024 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 18:59:32 +0000 looch 2080024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J Crew and Athleta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2080022 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 18:58:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2080022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: oh my gosh, I have that exact same suit but in plain black.

I totally want to order that to cover up as much as possible lol! </p> <p>I completely have not thought about this barely 3 mo pp and I'm def taking LO to the pool this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079807 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:36:38 +0000 ladybee 2079807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: the rash guard is what got me. They have a bikini in that print but it just looks tiny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079804 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:35:04 +0000 blackbird 2079804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: that rash guard is adorable!!!

For me, most stores don't carry up to my size so I bought a lot online and returned even more! I can't wear a one suit-I'm just way too tall and they all ride up so bad! </p> <p>My favorite brand is La Blanca! The shirred bottom covers just what it needs to and the tankini is ruched in all the right places. I also have the bikini version and it fits great. For the bottom, I went one size up and I have zero muffin top </p> <p>[attach=618/15/nk52ay.338x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079797 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:23:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2079797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: It might also be worth looking into the Hapari swimsuits? They have a famous bottom called the "tummy tuk" that is supposed to be very flattering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079796 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:22:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2079796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Which one did you get? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079763 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 14:10:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2079763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was happy with the Athleta suit I got last summer. I'm a big fan of a cute rash guard with a supportive top underneath. They have sales fairly frequently and free shipping both ways if you spend over $50, so I just ordered a ton and tried on at home during nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079762 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 14:10:33 +0000 ladybee 2079762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to get this swimsuit and I'm considering the shorts and rash guard. </p> [attach=2199/15/nk4ymf.337x600.image.jpg] [attach=2199/15/nk4ymh.337x600.image.jpg] [attach=2199/15/nk4ymi.337x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-your-swimwear#post-2079761 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 14:09:06 +0000 ladybee 2079761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: 30%?
