SO summer is coming, and I'm still really big and self-conscious (pre banded) What can I wear to a water park that doesn't look ridiculous but covers my strecth marked belly, dimpled thighs etc.?

Go to Newport-News: Women's Clothing, Sportswear, Shoes, Jeans, Special Sizes, and more They have some really nice/sexy swimdresses. I've bought two from them are they are made well. I recently took a black halter swimdess from there on a cruise, and I got A LOT of comments. AND I'M STILL PRE-BANDED!!:biggrin:

I got something really cute at walmart last year. I hate most plus size swimwear but this was actually really cute, pretty flattering, and comfortable. I don't like having my picture taken, so these are the best shots I have of it. It's like a dress but not your typical granny swim dress. Cute fabric, just long enough without being too long, and it sucked me in all over. It covered the top of the thigh ick. I was a little skinnier in these shots.

katye,

you look absolutely gorgeous in these pictures--i love the suit and brown is totally in!!!

my theory is that no matter what type of swimsuit you wear, it's going to be obvious that you're overweight. no swimsuit can hide it. so i wear a bikini and get a good tan! screw what anyone else thinks.

Nothing....

Hehe alright thats only when its dark out and I'm being sneaky :biggrin: My favorite bathing suit ever I got at Target, its by Merona and is a long length, shirred tankini, Mine is this beautiful turquoise color but I think this season they only have brown and black? I plan on ordering the black, I tried last year but they were sold out.

Ooooh, those swimsuits are so cute! Thank you for introducing me to a new plus-size site I didn't know about!

Torrid has the cutest bathing suits...i love the tankinis with shorts.

Can't wait until i liek the way I look in a bathing suit but until then these are pretty darn cute.

Torrid's clothing doesn't fit me very well...I think it's mostly Junior Plus so the fit is alot different than regular plus size for me.

Thats so funny how everybody's body is different, becaue I am a big girl and it usually fits me better than like Lane Bryant etc.....I think it depends on where you gain your weight and your proportions. I love Torrid. It is my favorite.

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME SUIT--love it!! got lots of compliments, had brown sandals and hat to match. totally hurt my boobs though and under my arm, gotta get a new one for this year.
