Needing a new swimsuit Help

My favorite swimwear brands are Vix, Mara Hoffman and Zimmerman. They all have great bikinis and one piece options that aren't matronly. I have some Victorias Secret bikinis as filler, they're pretty inexpensive and I like how there are so many cut options. But VS quality isn't that great. Honestly, take a look at Vix. They have a great sale section on their website. Shopbop carries them too.
 
thanks :) I'm not really looking for modest I just dont want everything hanging out for the world to see. lol and its a week for NMRA but we have a beach house that we rented with a private pool and a very short walk to the beach we will have about 3 days just for fun and 4 days of racing. I really wasnt looking for one piece because I am pround of my body and for the first time in a very long time I can go in a bikini and not feel fat or embarassed.I usually wore tankini or a tank top over my bikini. I do really like some of the one pieces though idk def will have to do some more digging and thinking :)
 
I don't mind the one your husband liked (the first one) he obviously sees you as a super-glamorous siren :graucho: and it seems to be covering all the right places.

I'm not keen on the others, sorry OP.

I think one pieces look great for those with short bodies and longer legs but bikinis can actually disguise figure faults more easily because you have more choice which bottoms/tops to wear to make a set.

With any blk/wht bikini you can mix and match with others too.
 
What exactly is "bits hanging out"? Cleavage? Too small bottom? You already agree to show belly, it seems. To be honest, if you're willing to show cleavage, most swimsuits will suit your needs. You did start this thread with the word "semi modest".

ETA: If you Google modest swimwear, you get what seems to be clothes for swimming! The middle ground would be one piece without cleavage at all (semi modest)...in this line of thought a bikini could never be "semi modest".

lol good question my bits and pieces lol I hate my butt hanging out or having a super low cut bottom. I like my bottoms to cover my but and them to sit in the perfect spot not to high not too low the. I also like boyshorts and the skirted ones but the skirt has to be cute not a straight longer style skirt. juicys has some cute ruffle ones and betsey johnson has the really mini skirted ones. i like were these sit on her hips http://www.poolsidestyle.com/store/swimwear/swimwear-two-piece?product_id=211 and I love how this covers the butt just dont like it that low

I have a triangle top that I cant jump off the rope because it flips up. I tend to stay more with hater styles they seem to stay on place, and padded due to our springs are cold lol
