I have worn their tankinis for years and much swimming with my kiddos each summer, and have always been more than pleased with how they wear. </p> <p>Anyway, look at the page <a href="http://www.landsend.com/ix/swimwear-swimsuits/Swim/Assortments=New-Arrivals/index.html?seq=1~2~3&#038;catNumbers=644&#038;visible=1~2~1&#038;store=le&#038;merchAsId=427&#038;tab=6&#038;cm_re=D-1-8" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/ix/swi.....m_re=D-1-8</a>. Do you see the navy blue bikini top paired with the swim skirt at the top of the page? The top has that vintage look and the skirt waistline reminds me of the bottoms you are modeling here, but the hemline is lower so I think you could get a better horizontal line with these rather than the boy-short leg you have. Its hard to see in the photo at that page, but maybe these tops are the same one or similar:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingMiniDotsSweetheartBikiniSwimTop~203454_-1.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Bea.....038;sku_0=</a>::GXF&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000000650&amp;origin=index<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/VallettaSolidBandeauBikiniTop~208771_-1.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Val.....038;sku_0=</a>::CHW&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000000650&amp;origin=index<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingLoopSweetheartBikiniSwimTop~203448_59.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Bea.....038;sku_0=</a>::RIB&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000000650&amp;origin=index</p> <p>Another cute top with vintage flair:<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/VallettaBandeauTwistTunicTankiniSwimTop~208763_593.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Val.....038;sku_0=</a>::CHW&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000000650&amp;origin=index </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159543 Fri, 21 May 2010 15:31:36 +0000 Angie 159543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your reasons make perfect sense, Sarah. These two tankinis get my vote so far this season: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3066008?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=tankini&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2988828?refsid=278823&#038;refcat=0%7e2376776%7e2374327%7e2379759%7e2383542&#038;SourceID=1&#038;SlotID=2&#038;origin=related&#038;cm_Sp=Related-Items-_-Product-_-Manual" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....t-_-Manual</a></p> <p>This brand is doing great things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159456 Fri, 21 May 2010 12:42:13 +0000 Boof 159456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, you have a gorgeous figure, and I agree that this particular suit doesn't do it justice. Check out Lands End for great tankinis. They provide great coverage, and you can mix and match sizes, patterns, etc. They also provide guidelines for which suits flatter different body types. As someone who makes frequent trips to the potty, I love the ease of tankini bottoms! :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159435 Fri, 21 May 2010 11:04:23 +0000 Sarah Baker 159435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your kind replies. I do prefer a two piece this year, last year we practically lived on the beach with my 2 year old. Trips to the bathhouse with her in tow made me realize I would prefer a two piece for those potty trips. </p> <p>Angie, can you recommend a tankini for the pear-shaped MOTG? :)</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159303 Fri, 21 May 2010 01:21:54 +0000 marianna 159303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very brave! I love the vintage feel of the suit but do think your gorgeous figure deserves something more flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159301 Fri, 21 May 2010 01:16:04 +0000 Angie 159301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I applaud your courage to post this picture. Well done, Sarah! </p> <p>The bikini top is really flattering. You may have mentioned why you were adverse to one pieces but I can't remember why they bothered you last Summer? Please refresh my memory. A tankini might be the way to go if you'd prefer a two-piece. That way, you'll have more of a vertical line going up and down your body. </p> <p>Keep us posted and I LOVE that you tried this two-piece. You just got the next YLF award you gutsy lass. Love your smile :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159261 Thu, 20 May 2010 23:47:26 +0000 Rosie 159261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally love the look you were going for, and we probably all would love it if we were back in Esther's day! Those bottoms are super tough to wear for anyone! So, I do agree with the ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159259 Thu, 20 May 2010 23:46:09 +0000 Sarah Baker 159259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't realize how the bottoms hit me in all the wrong places until I saw the picture. Gasp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159227 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:49:32 +0000 Lisa 159227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote return. I like the top's shape but the bottom ruins it for me. I think you can do better. You have such a nice shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159221 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:44:29 +0000 Itari 159221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return. Your natural body shape is beautiful and feminine, but this swimsuit does nothing to enhance your figure. You deserve a better one, I say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-modcloth-2-piece#post-159217 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:40:59 +0000 Sarah Baker 159217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I know the answer before I even post this...and it takes a lot of guts to post this picture, which is less than flattering. On the other hand, I know that y'all are tactful and so that's why I am going ahead.</p> <p>This swimsuit is amazingly comfortable but I just don't think it suits my body type. I think I need to go back to the tank suit even though a two-piece is more convenient for potty trips with my 3 year old daughter.</p> <p>Two-piece swimsuit by Esther Williams, ModCloth</p> <p><a href="http://s153.photobucket.com/albums/s230/sariejack/You%20Look%20Fab/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2074.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s153.photobucket.com/al.....G_2074.jpg</a></p> <p>password: youlookfab </p>
