On-line Swimsuit Shopping! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

OK, I know it's not exactly the season, but for some reason I have a bee in my bonnet about swimsuit shopping, and I know I need to do it while I'm in the mood, or it won't happen.

I'm looking for the mix and match sites.

So where can you gals recommend for on-line swimsuit shopping? I've checked out Victoria's Secret (promising, and nearly everything's on sale just now!) and Venus (cute stuff, but I have no idea what the quality is like). Any other favorites you can share?

Thanks in advance!

I have always liked the swimsuits from Land's End... I don't know if they have them on their site yet but you can look www.landsend.com

The suits are labeled very well, and always have little symbols that tell you what body type they look best on. I find that very helpful when shopping out of a catalouge. Also, they offer regular torso and long torso legnths, something that's essesential to keep my swimsuit from giving me a wedgie every time I sit down!

...swimsuit shopping....* *shudder**

I've bought swimsuits/bikinis from Fredericks. Their suits are a little more uninhibited but I've never actually worn them to the beach. Their cute as novelty items but not for regular use. I had an issue with sizing as well, I wear a small, but I fit a bigger cup so something usually gets sacrificed..

Seems more inconvenient to purchase swimsuits online, especially since the return process is sometimes more arduous.

rlynnm, I can't seem to find the swimwear on Fredericks' website... did you buy from a retail store? I may be having a blonde moment here... thanks.
