I just ordered a new suit from J. Crew that arrived today. I haven't tried it on yet!
-
Haha, me too! Two suits from jcrew, one is the the riches one shoulder, the other is navy and red striped.
Oh and a tank and skirt from athleta..
-
Yep, I got a super cute retro polka-dot one piece from Target that I loooove!
-
I want too! I tried on one by Lands End that I want to catch on sale.
-
@looch: wow! sounds like you're all set to spend lots of time in the water!
-
No! I've been banned bc DH says I have enough. I've tried to tell him there is no such thing as enough bikinis!
-
Had to, I'm in the third trimester this summer!
-
@Andrea: I love Jcrew!! I did purchase a much less fancy one at Target last week... Meh... but it will do for now!
-
Nope. I've been wearing the ones I already have. I spend a lot of the summer in a swimsuit so how massive my knocked up self gets will depend on whether I get another one.
-
I almost only buy bathing suits from Jcrew, they just fit me the best and last forever! I just ordered 3 for my post partum body (6 months pp) but will only keep 1 suit, assuming they fit.
-
Nope. I'll be wearing the maternity suit that I bought when I was pregnant with DS1.
-
@lisamarieloves: Luckily, I had a gift card!!
-
@Andrea: ooh which one did you get?!
-
I need to! I returned a bikini I bought at Target!
-
Yup! The swimsuit from last summer was for my post Partum body that was +20 lbs! And the summer before that was my pre-baby swimsuit which just doesn't work post baby...
So I got a new one piece from j crew I mostly love, and high waist bottoms from modcloth. Just need to find a top for it!
-
2 rash guards and a basic black bikini to wear under the rash guards!
-
@chopsuey119: just something basic and conservative!

I like that they have D-cups so I'm not gonna fall out of them.
-
Yes! I just got a suit I ordered last week in the mail today!
-
@Andrea: dang. your body must be sexual. i wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini ;D jhahah
-
@chopsuey119: nah. i think i look fatter if i try to cover up too much!
-
Not this year. Husband says I have too many already. I'll go along with that since I bought like 5 last year since we were going on our tropical honeymoon.
-
@Andrea: I looooooove gift gards!!! You lucky girl!!
-
Yup, I started super early because I went to Hawaii in February. So happy the Victoria Secret sells swimsuits year-round.
-
I got a swimsuit from Target last weekend but I haven't worn it anywhere yet.
-
I bought a brown and white animal print tankini from Target...not a good buy when it gets wet if falls down (with a 9 month old grabbing.) I have been wearing my old retro one I bought last year, i need new black bottoms though!
-
@Andrea: I am trying to go swimming this weekend! We just have so much to do, it's like there aren't enough hours in the day, and the darn pool has been open since the inspection in April!
-
I got this one-piece retro Anthro suit postpartum! I needed something that would cover everything and keep everything in place - http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-freshcuts/S23716723.jsp
-
Yes I bought a one piece because i didnt want to show my belly this summer!
-
@chopsuey119: @Andrea: "dang. your body must be sexual. " I just SNORTED!!
I'm in the middle of trying to buy one but I'm miserably failing! After trying on a bunch at TJ Maxx and ordering two from Amazon (I liked one, but it's too big and they don't have the next size down in stock) I'm thinking of stopping by Target this weekend. Although J. Crew IS having the sale...
@looch: soooo I totally Hellobee searched bathing suits when I was online shopping for suits so I totally know of your obsession with that ruched one shoulder j crew suit. I see it's on sale. AHHHHh should I get it?? I'm so scared. I know ruching is good for mommy bellies but one of the Amazon suits I ordered that has ruching made me look straight up 6 months pregnant.
-
ETA- here is what I got..I think it's very flattering on the hips and covers up some booty!
-
@mrs. wagon: I have 3 of those ruched one shoulder suits. I am a little obsessed! This particular suit has an underpanel, if that makes any sense, and the ruching is over that and adjustable, which I think makes all the difference in the world.
Are the suits final sale? Any way you can get to the store to try one on? I am about 5'4" and 150 pounds now, I get size 10.
-
@looch: Interesting... the suit that made me look preggo did NOT have adjustable ruching. The suits aren't final sale, but there is a j crew in the mall right near me.. maybe I will pop by tonight!!
Thanks for giving your measurements and size!! That really helps!! Also, what's your body type? I have a short torso and big boobs (apple shape) and I'm always afraid suits will make me look even... appley-er. So I always get something with a deep V to elongate my torso, but it always ends up showing cleave so I hate it. Never tried a one shoulder suit before!!
-
I am a classic pear, and I stay away from halter tops because I feel they make my shoulders look wide. Since giving birth 2. 5 years ago, I've carried weight in my stomach, but this suit slurps it all in and I actually feel kind of sexy in it...I think it's because of the one shoulder action. And I love it because I have not ever had a boob pop out because the sides of the suit are high.
MUST STOP NOW BEFORE I GET ANOTHER ONE! I have navy, byzantine blue (which is super pretty) and claret.
-
I had to buy a bigger top and smaller bottoms! Ugh. I have official mom body.
-
@mrstiz love the suit you got!
I don't spend much time at the pool so mine from last year will work just fine!
-
I'd like a cute, vintage looking one-piece. I'll be rocking the postpartum body this summer. Any suggestions?
-
I got a new one last week! I have the hardest time finding tops that work, so I was worried about finding one that fit while nursing without being super matronly. I lucked out - the one I got feels vintage cute!
-
@deerylou: I went with this one, but they had a few different options for designs. http://m.figleaves.com/us/product/FIG-127104/Heidi-Underwired-Halter-Swimsuit/?productColourId=719891 (it's a mobile site since I'm on my phone right now)
-
@rattles: That is super cute! I guess I'll wait to see how gigantic my nursing boobs get, and then I'll take a peak around that site. Thanks!
-
I am going to buy one today.
Skirted maternity bottom and a bikini top.
