    I love Target swimsuits. They are cheap enough that I can buy a bunch of different tops and bottoms and mix and match. I also get a lot of mine from VS, but I feel like some are pretty cheaply made for the price. Still cute though.

    I just bought this one piece from Target and can't wait to wear it. So cute!

    Old Navy.

    Just bought a pink polka dot one today for about 20 dollars as each piece is on sale for 10 dollars each and you can mix/match.

    Target! Always Target. Recently bought a new one for this summer, as last year's were literally falling off. NSV! :)

    I got mine from TJMAXX. Beautiful rose and white vintage style, for $15. The original price was $75!!

    Honestly, Wal-Mart - I wasn't in the market for a swimsuit - I don't like the way they look on me, but I saw this one, it was $19 and something told me 'try it on' so I did and it actually looked pretty decent (not great, let's not get crazy here...it'll be a while before I look GREAT in a swimsuit) - so I bought it. It's like a teal color and has a kind of little skirt flap in the front that covers my belly pooch.

    I have way more swimsuits than I need, because I end up buying them on vacation instead of packing them with me.

    Some faves come from J Crew, American Apparel (cheep cheep!), Speedo, and Calvin Klein. I have a few less familiar brands too, but these are good.

    A note on tankinis: generally a bad idea unless you have a very trim midsection. They are not flattering on most women who have a body fat percentage above 19%, in my opinion.

    I like my tankini, and I'm pretty big. I think they look better on me than a one piece, and it's so much easier to go to the bathroom. I tend to go with a boycut bottom too.

    I just got a cute one from Victoria's Secret and Target always has a lot of cute ones (and they're a little cheaper)!

    I got my favorite one at Macy's. It was a little pricey so I just bought the top there and found some black bottoms at Target which were much cheaper, but they have a brand Coco Reef that goes by bra size which is really nice if you're well endowed up top like I am. Haha Target has tons of cute swimsuits too though that are pretty cheap! That's where I used to buy all of mine before I gained the weight.

    Have fun on your trip! :smile:

    that's oddly specific...my body fat is above 19% and my stomach would look flat in a tankini. I don't like them really, but I think they look fine on other people of all sizes!

    Venus. I have suits that are 10 years old. They hold up better than anything I've ever bought. Plus you can get them in bra sizes which ROCKS! They do run a bit small though. I am C but I buy their D cup tops

    I'm curious how the sizing works. Because when I checked, it only had cup size, but not band size.

    I've always wondered about Venus bathing suits, but never actually ordered from them. Will check them out again :)

    I don't have one yet, and won't for a long time. If I had one now it would have to be custom made from an elephant skin or something. I would love to have something similar to this one though once I can actually wear it well. It's by Dolce & Gabbana.

    I actually got the pink one I'm wearing in my profile pic from Old Navy.

    But I live in Hawaii.... you can basically buy a swimsuit anywhere here! Gas station, side of the road....

    Thrift shop - retro, hippy used clothing store. Found a very cute one-piece with halter top. I like it better than the expensive Victoria Secret bikini I just bought!

    I know a lot of people complain about their boobs getting smaller after weight loss, but I am actually really happy about it! I used to have such a hard time finding a bathing suit top that fit, now it's so much easier!

    Lands End. The quality is good and I like the mix and match separates.

    Recently bought two new swimsuits from Adrenes for $20.00 each and they have replaced my old favorite from Victoria's Secret which was $90.00.

    I just about spent $100 on some new VS swimsuits, thank you for posting the Adrene website!! These suits are really cute. Are they pretty well made for being so cheap?

    Surprisingly enough at Walmart.com..It is one of those retro Marilyn Monroe types and is very flattering and cute. I think it was only like 30 bucks to boot!
