So, I'm absolutely in love with this suit:

http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/swim/patternsandprints/PRDOVR~58325/58325.jsp

The weather's been getting warmer, and I want a suit on hand just in case there's a beautiful weekend coming up. Question - how do you shop for one online? I can't remember the last time I bought a suit. I can't decide between 32D and 34D for the top, and I have no idea how to shop for bottoms :/ Help! Haha

    First of all... I think it's funny we both love the same swimsuit and are both contemplating those sizes! Too funny! Secondly, I have no freaking clue which size I would get either. Very interested to see feedback from other peeps! :)

    Does it having a sizing chart??
    I always go smaller up top on bathing suits, so there is no nip slip!
    For bottoms thats tricky lol. Good Luck! Love the suit!

    I went with a bikini from JC Penney (see pic). I have a D size top and a large bottom. I wish they made a top the next size bigger though. l ol

    I buy bathing suits online all the time from Victoria's Secret. I tend to buy multiple sizes, then I just send back whatever doesn't fit right. They probably hate me for it, but oh well.
  • Love the pink one in the fashionrow website. So cute and bet it fits well.

    look for a size chart...many places will have one that says if your bust is this and your waist is that, this is the size you need. Then get out your handy tape measure:) Happy Shopping

    i don't like to buy online because i worry about sizes so if i see something i like online and if i can get to a store i will go.

    if that is not an option and you're not sure about your size i would go to a swim suit store and try to find a suit that is similar in cut and try it on and then order it in the same size - according to their website you can get a full refund for unworn internet purchases so if it does not fit you can send it back


    they also have a size chart on their website for swim suits

    that is a really cute suit! I think I saw a lady at the pool with a similar one, not exactly the same... but the one you posted is to DIE for!!! I'd love it in red!

    I bought a J. Crew swimsut last fall. Because it was on clearance I had to go with a size 6, which is bigger than I would normally wear, but I checked my dimensions against the sizing chart and it seemed like it would fit ok. The 4 probably would have been a better fit but I don't think there's a huge variance between sizes. So my advice would be to measure yourself and pick whatever's closest to your size on the chart, and you should be fine.
