I practice this with the rest of my wardrobe, not sure why I didn't implement it with the swimwear so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1741420 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 22:58:46 +0000 Gaylene 1741420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute suit! And echoing all the others who say that the best swimwear is the kind you put on and then just concentrate on enjoying yourself. As a matter of fact, I think that's the best kind of outfit for any activity... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1741419 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 22:56:56 +0000 Astrid 1741419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you two! Had to laugh at the boobs comment. And I'm definitely going to wear sunblock, my skin can't take much sun. I never ever try to tan, it wouldn't work anyway. If I'm lucky I'm getting a bit of a healthy look without being burned in the process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1741293 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 18:02:38 +0000 Anonymous 1741293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous suit!!! I agree with the others. It matters that you are comfortable in it. I personally feel way more comfortable in one pieces and tankinis and they flatter me more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1741287 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 17:48:23 +0000 Aziraphale 1741287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that suit! And who cares if it makes your bust look smaller. I love the look. And boobs are overrated. Wear sunblock, though, otherwise that high strap in the back will give you a weird tan line! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1741170 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 14:56:50 +0000 Astrid 1741170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1741079 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:21:52 +0000 Tanya 1741079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great suit, fun and a bit different.&nbsp; If it fits you well, and you feel happy and comfortable it, that is all that really matters.&nbsp; The fact that it tested well in water only adds to the reasons to keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1740993 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 09:02:44 +0000 Astrid 1740993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elpgal, I guess that's a good option.</p> <p>Thanks Sally! I finally tested it yesterday doing rounds in my neighbourhood public swimming pool and it worked out great. I felt secure in and out of the water. I'm happy it worked out well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739716 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:36:26 +0000 Sal 1739716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely swimsuit Astrid. &nbsp;Perfect for the pool and water based activities on your upcoming trip to NZ and Australia. &nbsp;I prefer a secure one piece for activities such as boogie boarding, kayaking and definitely lane swimming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739715 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 01:26:38 +0000 elpgal 1739715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this style of swimsuit. Very secure if you are big-busted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739554 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 18:57:34 +0000 Astrid 1739554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, that's right. I don't think I know anyone with a pool, even among the people who own a house with garden.</p> <p>Thanks Crazyone! That swimsuit looks great. </p> <p>Thanks Kiki! I had swimsuits that fell into the competitive swimming category before, it was pretty much the only thing I wore until I was twenty. But those were way less "fashionable". And those swimsuits are usually cut fairly revealing, at least where I'm shopping. That was fine as a child and teen, but with the weight gain in my early twenties those swimsuits were accidents waiting to happen! There's no danger of that with this one.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739521 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 16:23:42 +0000 KikiG 1739521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a style I associate with competitive swimming suits, so if you like that style, you might shop at those places, which are quite distinct from ordinary "resort" swimwear stores.&nbsp; These suits can be very flattering when worn&nbsp;close-fitting, and they get looser in water, so you absolutely are looking for a fit with no wrinkles or slack when standing.&nbsp; </p> <p>You are right, the most valuable thing about a swim suit is the ability to stop thinking about it and your body when wearing it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739505 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:29:50 +0000 crazyone 1739505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also mostly wear a one-piece when I go swimming at the university pool, though in some ways i prefer two pieces since they make the bathroom issue easier. &nbsp;I generally wear this reversible suit which is a simple one-piece by Maaji, which is a mid-priced fashiony swimwear brand, but their fit and prints and fabrics are so much nicer than what I got in Target, etc. &nbsp;I haven't been bold enough to wear the #RealMermaid side yet so I just wear it inside out. &nbsp;I've always gotten lots of compliments on it, and it's held up extremely well to swimming, unlike my previous swimsuit. &nbsp;I hope yours works out for you, it looks cute+practical!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://picvpic.com/women-beachwear-one-pieces/derby-mermaid-one-piece">http://picvpic.com/women-beach.....-one-piece</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739504 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:25:43 +0000 Sara L. 1739504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I would guess you don't live in an environment conducive to pools. &nbsp;I live in the desert where every other person has a pool in their backyard so being invited to someone's house in the summer for a casual dinner has the potential to include pool time. &nbsp;In fact, we have a pool in our backyard and have hosted pool parties for the neighborhood. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739503 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:17:11 +0000 Astrid 1739503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elizabeth! You're right, it's no use if you don't feel comfortable. </p> <p>Maneera, you're right. It is sexy, but at the same time actually quite modest. I feel great in it. Your new ones look great too! I really like the colors of the first.</p> <p>Sara, I have never been to a pool party and probably won't ever go to one, but you're right that there's very few pieces that are in between. Somehow it's often either sport suits or it's lined and ruched to the max. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739500 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:07:39 +0000 Sara L. 1739500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suit!&nbsp; I love the pattern and the open back.&nbsp; I have one-piece and two-piece swimsuits since I like bikinis for the beach, but one-pieces for events like pool parties, etc.&nbsp; I find it&nbsp;hard to find one-piece swimsuits that are cute and not dowdy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739491 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 14:42:11 +0000 Maneera 1739491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!!! I love monokinis and this one is particularly lovely! I have a swimsuit with the exact same back design and find it quite 'sexy' </p> <p>And here are my recent indulgences! Go Team one-piece swimsuit!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739490 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 14:40:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 1739490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What matters is that YOU are comfortable.&nbsp; I'm much more comfortable with coverage... tankini's are my choice.&nbsp; This is a lovely suit, I hope it works out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-swimwear-and-its-not-a-bikini#post-1739489 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 14:32:34 +0000 Astrid 1739489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I said on Sally's thread about her new bikini that I wasn't all that happy with the way I looked in my bikini on my last holiday (even though I <i>know</i> that I have no reason to feel bad). So when I came across this one-piece swimsuit that looked so different - in a good way - to anything else I've seen, I just had to try it. And I really love it and love the way I look wearing it. Yes, it makes my small breasts look even smaller. My bikini is bra sized with underwires, so this makes a big difference compared to the one-piece that only has a built-in shelf bra that doesn't do anything for me. But you know what, I don't care. Somehow this suit looks so much better to my eye. And I love the high front and the way it is cut in the back. And the pattern makes me feel more dressed somehow! I just pray that it helds up to actual swimming. I'm tempted to go try it out <i>right now.</i></p> <p> </p>
