Very flattering. I know what you mean about bottoms staying on in the water - I always get them nice and snug unless they are really riding up. A little less coverage is better than *no* coverage when they fly off after a dive. ;)</p> <p>The tunic I don't think is a great color on you - I see the shirt before your face, and the dress outshines it by a mile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569842 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 01:29:24 +0000 Suz 569842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto everything Vix said. You definitely have the body for the bikini. The cut of the bottoms is personal preference, really...I might aim for something with a higher cut leg but that is because i am personally paranoid about my short legs! This looks like a swimmable suit, which is great. Those back straps should hold everything on top. And the dress is a super basic. </p> <p>BTW, your fab athlete's shape is part of the reason the wrap was not 100% successful. I still think you could style that wrap dress to look amazing on you, but it requires a bit more thought than it does on someone who is very curvy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569835 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 01:18:02 +0000 Vix 569835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Cf--</p> <p>Agree that your figure looks great in a bikini! </p> <p>I am always paranoid about seat coverage but think you are in the right size, as as mentioned suits stretch somewhat when wet. Personally I've sized up only to end up with droopy drawers coming out of the ocean...maybe one has to pick one's poison, ha.</p> <p>The dress looks like a great, flattering, well-fitting basic. Not always easy to find, so congrats!</p> <p>I like the tunic's colors on you but my bias is for tunics that end mid-crotch (man, what a point I'm writing!) or mid-thigh. Right now I'm seeing more of a half-tunic/half-pants look vs ye olde "2/3" proportion rule. Could you try clipping/pinning it up a bit shorter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569740 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 00:04:36 +0000 Anonymous 569740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is terrific and would be very versatile. I don't know your style well enough to comment on the print in the tunic. If you love it, keep it! I think the bikini is great and fits you well. Keep in mind the fabric does stretch when wet. Your bum looks well covered in the last picture; perhaps the bottoms just needed adjusting before your took the side shot. This looks very age appropriate to me, and you have an awesome figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569714 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:44:38 +0000 rachylou 569714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bikini top ok. I vote no on the bottoms - are they boy shorts? Boy shorts are hard to wear. I'm on the fence about the pink tunic... If it were a little longer or more a-line I'd be all over it.</p> <p>Cute figure, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569684 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:27:30 +0000 taylor 569684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in a bikini...! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569619 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:24:59 +0000 cinnamon fern 569619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are very sweet! Thank you, I am not exactly the most modest person in the world but it was a little scary putting these up.</p> <p>I am going to order the bottom in the next size up and see if it seems like it'll stay on in the water. There's a tie at the waist but unfortunately it's strictly decorative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569609 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:13:36 +0000 Meredith1953 569609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cinnamon Fern,<br /> All the pieces look good on you! You are pretty buff and I wouldn't worry about whether you can rock a bikini at 40 because if you look good...it's ALL good! Just look at the bikini pictures of Helen Mirren from last year I think, and she looks AWESOME and she is in her 60's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569605 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:10:40 +0000 Beth Ann 569605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress will be terrific for summer -- and the tunic is light and airy. I've not seen you wear pink before and the lighting in the photo doesn't let me see what the color does for your coloring --- follow your instinct. If you feel fab, definitely keep.</p> <p>You look great in the bikini. I agree with Mo that you have an athlete's build that makes bikini wearing totaly work. I like the top better --- Mo may have a good idea to size up in the bottoms, if you think they'll stay on underwater (wouldn't THAT be scary!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569600 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:05:08 +0000 Mo 569600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an over 40 bikini wearer and I do think it's appropriate, but . . . you might want to see about one size up in the bottoms for better 'cheek' coverage. But thumbs up for sure - you have an athlete's build! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569587 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:44:19 +0000 san 569587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very nice, and you are rocking that bikini! I love the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569585 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:41:28 +0000 Victoria 569585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! This bikini is very much appropriate, you have great figure:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---warning-bikini-pictures#post-569582 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:37:33 +0000 cinnamon fern 569582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the dress, the orange/white/pink printed tunic (which would be the only tunic I own, except for one long turtleneck sweater) and the bikini. </p> <p>For those of you who think that bikinis are appropriate on 40 year old women, is this one age-appropriate? The two pieces come separately, so you could vote yes on one and no on the other. </p>
