Calling all *Curvacious* women!!


~*Lisa*~

Recommended Posts

Estella1007, I couldn't agree more! I've thought the same many, many times! Except designers would finally make it fit correctly, but then put a giant rhinestone parrot on the front to "hide" the fat rolls. lol

 

Mummergirl, I'd suggest shopping for mix and match seperate bathing suits. I think I posted here earlier that Lands End sells tops and bottoms seperately and they have bathing suit tops that go up to D-DD cups!

 

It does suck ordering from catalogues and you can't try it on before buying! I have two suits at home that I have to send back. What a pain. Maybe we should all start a Plus size women's bathing suit business!! wink.gif Anyone know how to sew?? lol

Heck yes I do! Girl, I can draft you a pattern based on your measurements and custom make any darn thing you want. I am so stinking sick of sewing though. I just had to do my collection last semester, and am staying as far from a sewing machine as I can for a while. You would think that I would have made some stuff for myself, but I have yet to do that. Maybe I will be daring and attempt a bathing suit at some point.

oh that's what i normally do (there is almost nothing "one-piece" in my wardrobe, let alone bathing suits), but for the wedding i needed bandeau and just wasn't finding ANYTHING two-piece that was strapless (except the bikinis in the juniors section, LOL).

Ah, yes, that makes it a whole different ball game! Ugh. I put on the Newport News Bandeau suit last night, which is one whole piece. I felt like it was a sausage encasing. LOL It would probably be better if it were two seperate pieces... I kept having to hoist up the top, because my middrift is a bit longer than the suit is made for.

Suffice it to say, the fiance got quite a show seeing me struggling to pull the dang thing on. popcorn.gif I'm not taking it to the lake this weekend as there is red dirt and I don't want my nice white bathing suit to discolor. I like it though.

Again, I say we all start our own bathing suit line!! wink.gif

Ok, I do not mean to seem like Debbie Downer but my second Jessica London shipment did not work out either. I ordered a 1x (normally wear 16/18 at NY&Co) and it was HUGE!!! Looked like a joke, it was such a shame because it was the cutest dress but just too big. So note if you are ordering from there ...order smaller!

 

Dress I ordered:

 

Plus Size Casual Dresses at Jessica London.com

 

I have to note that the quality was great tho, just not the right fit for me.

So we've been talking about Spanx alot lately. I went to one of our plus-size stores (pennington's) today and found something really similar. It isn't called Spanx, but it's the same idea. It has the legs and goes right up under the breasts. I decided to try it on. OMG!!! I couldn't believe what it did!! It so pulled me in, the legs or the top didn't roll, it was freakin' fantastic!!

 

Joanna, you were SO right! I'm glad that I listened to you! Thanks girl!! :)
