Issue

WHY can't swimsuit-makers make a one-piece suit that is long enough for me in the torso? I am not THAT long in the torso, so why is this an issue. I haven't worn a one-piece in i-don't-know-how-long because of this problem. I just got a super cute suit from the Patagonia sale and it's awful--so short in the torso that my wee boobs nearly hang out from the top from the suit being stretched so much. Bikinis are no longer an option after Baby #2 (thank you very much). So I guess I will have to stick with tankinis for now. Thank goodness for those. Maybe just shorts and a t-shirt? I mean, really, who am I trying to impress?

I myself, just before our trip, went on the dreaded swimsuit hunt. I'm sorry you can't find a long enough 1 piece - I'm at the point that I bought a 1-piece with a skirty thing and I feel like such a MOM, but there's no way I'm showing those upper thighs off right now!! :) I feel for your swimsuit issue. :)

Two words: Lands End.

(They make long torso suits, and I think their styles are really cute!)

Ugh! I have the same problem. And now I'm worried about my Patagonia suit coming in the mail. And how come you got your order before I got mine?!?

I love love love my rash guard (a tee-shirt made of swimsuit fabric) and board shorts. I wear them over a bikini. No sunburned shoulders, no upper thighs showing, and I actually feel sort of hip-like "I could surf, if I wanted to..."
