    AlwaysForMe.com has some great swimsuits. Check their sale section for deals and sign up for their email newsletter for a $10 off coupon. They also have a nice selection of good quality work out clothes. I like their Always For Me Sport tops that you can wear to work out or swim. http://www.alwaysforme.com/

    Lands' End - great suits, great fit (once you find yours), cute selection this year - almost always a sale and free shipping - available in Sears to try on, and free returns to Sears Stores. (yes, I worked there once upon a time! I own billions of the suits that are still going strong...years later!)

    Do they fit true to size? I am currently in a 24. Should I go down one with losing weight? Thoughts?

    Best advice is to take your measurements, even tho this is what people HATE to hear, and give them a call or hop on the chat. You will need your bust, waist, hip, and torso measurements - be honest - and they will help you size. There are product specialists available as well as swim experts - if in between sizes, we alwasy recommended sizing down due to the material stretching in the water, but, let them help you figure it out. Free service - great to utilize. I found that our swimwear fit pretty well - I'm a 12/14 and found the 14 to be a good fit almost always. The tops and bottoms of almost all suits are purchased separately for the best fit (thank GOD for the genius that came up with that) - offer tons of super cute swim mini's, if you like more coverage, and lots of mix and match options! www.landsend.com/swim - you can chat and talk to a swim expert to help you pick a flattering suit, or just use the search feature to find what you like. You can narrow your search by anxiety zone, bra type, size, swim type, etc. If you're nears Sears, hop on over and try some on. Once you find what fits, it's universal in the styles, generally. If you can't find what you want in the store, you can order from teh store and get free shipping (or just ask for it, pretty generous about just dishing it out, trust me!)

    Thanks! I am going to go on and check there now! I take it you work for them? Any place to get coupons for a discount on-line?


    I used to work there - they want me back in the fall for peak - undecided, but, the best way to get special offers is with the newsletter update. The coupon sites aren't always up to date, or, stupid people post stuff that's not valid and then others get pissed off that it doesn't work - can't guarantee that it's reliable from another site. Generally the offers are right there on the homepage, and you can always call or chat to ask...they will give you the information and tell you about the newsletter! :)

    I actually found a decent one from Walmart last year, it was fairly cheap, had a skirt, was kinda cute, and fit pretty well. As silly as it sounds, it was as good as the one that I bought for twice the amount at Sears. So I'd definitely check there. And I was surprised at how well it supported my chest!
