I think the white stitching is pretty standard for board shorts.. and for what you are needing, I do think you'll feel much more comfortable in them than just swim bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152345 Wed, 05 May 2010 16:07:19 +0000 Dusty 152345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mostly chasing kids at the mini water park up the hill and one trip to a big water park where I'll actually get to ride the slides. Very little actual swimming and probably not a whole lot of actual wetness involved (well, other than my butt - sitting in the edge of the zero-entry depth kiddie pool) other than the big water park trip.</p> <p>As for the shorts, I seem to have lost the tags, so I'm kinda stuck with them, but all the board shorts seem to have the white stitching around here anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152321 Wed, 05 May 2010 15:37:25 +0000 yublocka 152321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dusty are these for lap swimming, swimming in surf, or lounging around/pool swimming? That makes a big difference in requirements for a swimsuit I find!</p> <p>Out of the ones you have posted my vote goes for#3. I prefer the thicker straps and the print and colours of this one. As for the shorts, can you find ones without white contrast stitching? That would look sleeker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152309 Wed, 05 May 2010 15:00:19 +0000 Debora 152309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dusty, they are all very nice and you have a great figure, but I wonder if you could do better. The stripes are nice in the third suit, but it would bother me that the stripes don't match up at the sides.</p> <p>You look to me to be an inverted triangle and I like the shape and color of the blue scoop neck suit on you. My only concern is that it doesn't give you enough support up top. I checked out Land's End swim suits and found this top that I thought was very pretty in aqua blue. It comes in solid, stripes, and a mini dotted print. It also has an underwire bra for added support and is recommended for inverted triangles.</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingStripeScoopAdjustableTankiniTop~203502_59.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Bea.....038;sku_0=</a>::HFT&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000000650&amp;origin=index</p> <p>I also like the coordinating swim shorts.</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingTummyControlSwimShorts~191498_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>I know that Land's End is pricey, but I see that they are offering a promo right now: $10 off a $50 purchase and $25 off a $100 purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152264 Wed, 05 May 2010 13:32:20 +0000 Alecia 152264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last one best. I think it's because of the neckline, the v-neck and more substantial straps. I also prefer that pattern to the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152261 Wed, 05 May 2010 13:26:51 +0000 Anonymous 152261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the three, I think the blue one has the most flattering fit. I looks more comfortable, as well. The other two look a bit tight or binding as they go under your arms. I have similar issues with v-neck swimsuits. I have to size for my small bust, but then end up with a little roll right there at the underarm. </p> <p>What I do like about the first one is how the colors of the print eventually blend with your bottoms, which is a nice effect, I think.</p> <p>So, in my perfect world, I would search for a swimsuit styled and cut like the blue one featuring a print like the first one. :)</p> <p>OR, perhaps a v-neck with more padding that would allow you to size for the rest of your body and give a little boost to the girls? I mean this with love ... I've totally been there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152257 Wed, 05 May 2010 13:13:32 +0000 Queen Mum 152257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last one best-- the v-neck is more flattering and the colors are rich on you. </p> <p>I like board shorts too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-help#post-152254 Wed, 05 May 2010 13:07:37 +0000 Dusty 152254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe I'm doing this but here goes...</p> <p>I need a new swimsuit. One pieces are difficult to fit for me, so I usually go with a long tankini and wear board shorts with it (with a bikini bottom underneath - but the shorts don't come off so the bottom is not important). Here are the three I've found that I think kind of work. Are any of these any good?</p> <p><a href="http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/Dustykins/swimsuits/" rel="nofollow">http://s31.photobucket.com/alb.....swimsuits/</a></p> <p>password is ylf2010</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
