bathing suit wearable?

I agree!!

alright. I went to get a bigger size bottom and they still didnt look good. so I decided to go with this one instead. I think it looks alot better.

In bathing suits, less is more. Wear less.

Oh My god! I love it. I love a thread update. Hope your hubby loves this suit in the interim, until you're ready for something else. I think it looks darling on you! Love the polka dots and the coverage. It's like retro-ey and super hot. Wonderful choice.

ETA: Now, I feel like swimsuit shopping. Never thought I'd hear myself say that, but that cute number really inspires me. I think last years suit still fits though, I should go try it on.

Both suits are cute! I actually liked the cut/shape of the first one better and agree that it just needed a couple of sizes up. Anyway, the new one looks great too but I feel like you got shamed into wearing a full coverage one piece : / You even look less happy in the second pic...

I am surpised by is the sentiment in this forum that you need to be perfectly skinny, and 100% pudge free to wear a bikini. News Flash! Bikinis come in large sizes because people can wear whatever the hell they want. Plenty of plus sized women wear full on string bikini's and feel plenty confident. Sure some people might give them the side eye, but obviously they feel happy and could not care less. I guess I just don't agree with a rule that says you CAN'T show midriff unless your tummy looks like X or you HAVE to wear a sarong if your thighs look like Z. Because no...you don't. Some silouettes more socially acceptable for certain body types and others can be more slimming but in the end, do what makes YOU ffeel sexy. Eff everyone else.

but she tried the couple sizes up and didn't like it? also she or someone said that not wearing the bottoms super tight could cause slippage and that just doesn't sound comfortable or secure. Also the triangle shapes on the other one were unbalancing her figure, and this shape and pattern just look more balanced. Even if the bottom were smaller this effect would still be the same due to the shape of the cute top and the fit of it. These tricks are something fashion people tell women about to balance their figures out and draw attention to the most flattering areas. In her case while her shoulders looked very nice and feminine in the other suit it was clear she was not comfortable with the fit of the bottoms, and she should go for the full package and I think this one does it for her. She looks pretty overall and that's what a good suit can do for you. It's not about the extra material, it's about the extra care in choosing the pattern and cut. I think she does look sexy in this suit because...ummm look at her butt! I hope I didn't contribute to any shaming by applauding her second choice but I do feel it's an improvement on the first which would have been fine for her to wear but this one is just way nicer looking and even cuter, just as a suit, no matter who's in it, IMO.

if you feel comfortable, you should wear it! The top is definitely cute. i have super wide hips and ALWAYS have to get bottoms that tie because the ones like that that aren't adjustable just pinch in way too much and make me look more bulgy. Tie sides are nice because you can loosen them or tighten them until it fits perfectly

Mychocolatediet said it much better than I could. For me it has nothing to do with showing midriff vs not. I was almost hestitant to voice my opinion of this one in fear of her thinking that but I genuinely liked the suit a lot.

I really don't think the majority of people told her to wear a one piece at all. I hope she didn't feel shamed.

The polka dot bathing suit is so cute! Where did you get it??

oh just saw your new bathing suit, this one is so much nicer

Top looks good, need skort or boy short bottoms and it will look great. I am being honest.
