[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 436111, member: 3907"] Honestly, it seems to me that it doesn't matter what shape you are, if you're any older than 16 1/2 it's impossible to find a bathing suit that looks nice. I'm a size 4 or so. But: a) I am so short-waisted that in a one-piece bathing suit I look like a cocktail meatball on a toothpick b) My chest is WAY out of proportion to the rest of my body. It looks like I borrowed someone else's c) I have so many abdominal scars from various surgeries that it looks like Zorro has carved his insignia on my stomach I usually buy those mix-and-match two-piece suits where you can pick different styles of top and bottom. My favourite combination is the...um...full-figured top with some sort of surf short-style bottom. Or something similar that doesn't leave the orchestra AND balcony hanging out there for all the world to see. Last summer, husband found me the most amazing suit. I call it my "James Bond Girl" bathing suit. From the back it looks like a bikini, but it has a strip of fabric down the centre-front that joins the top to the bottom. About 6 inches wide, so I don't get the cocktail meatball effect, but it hides all the surgical scars very nicely. And it's a pretty colour too. I guess one of the advantages of having a houseful of aspie kids is they don't get mortified when mom wears an embarrassing bathing suit. Trinity [/QUOTE]
