Any good bathing suit recommendations if you carry your weight in your stomach?

Fendi84NJ · Mar 15th, 2008, 12:52 AM

I have really skinny arms and legs and can't gain weight there if I tried, but always have carried my weight in my stomach.

It really hinders me in finding bathing suits.

A one piece is not the answer, I may even look fatter because it's so clingy.

Anyone else have this problem? Know any good tanki's?

I guess I am looking for something that can suck me in and break me up lol.

Thanks.

I think a simple black one piece with a see-through sarong/wrap looks really nice.

I have the same problem... last year I found an amazing one-piece from H&M, that's what I'll be wearing this year!
I hate buying swimwear!

okay. i'm not saying this to be fresh, i'm saying it because i think it could be the best possible bathing suit plan for ppl who are uncomfortable with their tummies. Maternity tankini tops. They just don't 'cling' the way other tankinis do- there's a slight 'flow'/a-line style to them. SUPER flattering when you aren't pregnant!!!

You can buy the size/style bottom you like and try on different tops and they just hang so nicely. old navy has a great selection, inexpensive, and you can order them, try them on at home, and return them to the store. i have a stunning black top from the gap that i *always* get compliments on, preg. or not!!!

it's def. worth trying! good luck!

try "miracle suits," which is a brand sold at bloomingdales, Saks, etc.
they are mostly one piece suits, but boy do they suck you in and are very slimming. my mother swears by them...she buys them in bulk when they go on sale.

A nice sexy black one piece!! I'm normally a two piece gal, but I'm been seeing some sexy one pieces lately.

I was also going to suggest tankinis. The Miracle suits are great too!

Try Norma Kamali - her bathing suits are on the $$$ side, but they're very figure friendly and so pretty
