It's so stretched marked from having 5 kids :-(<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905736 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:29:29 +0000 Echo 905736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As far as two piece suits go, I think the high waisted retro style would look great on an hourglass like you. I also think they tend to be more practical than other two-piece suits if a person is actually going to be in the water or play with children.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905729 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:25:58 +0000 Bree 905729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ty Echo :-)<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905728 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:25:04 +0000 Bree 905728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've seen that the retro look has come back,, like the high waisted. Would that look good on an hourglass 8 shape? <br /><br /><a href="http://www.plushswimwear.com/swimwear-blog/features/2012/2013-swimwear-trends/" rel="nofollow">http://www.plushswimwear.com/s.....ar-trends/</a><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905720 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:22:14 +0000 Echo 905720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, I love, love, LOVE the one from Soma. So retro and it would look fantastic on your shape. I also like the last one you posted - the other red one.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905708 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:00:58 +0000 Bree 905708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ooh, or this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Esther-Williams-Womens-Piece-Swimsuit/dp/B00BUX0MRM/ref=sr_1_23?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1365735614&amp;sr=1-23&amp;keywords=red+one+piece+swimsuits" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Esther-W.....&#038;ie=U</a><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905704 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:48:41 +0000 Bree 905704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Or maybe this one?

I love the link u posted Deana! Those are great choices with the exception of a few that wouldn't work to cover up my bum or chest. I like the underwire support as well. It looked like suit two had it though.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905319 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:48:48 +0000 Diana 905319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am a 8-shaped pear, but I generally stick to bikinis for various reasons so don't have much experience with one-pieces.&nbsp; However, I think if I were to go for a one-piece, #1 and #7 from Angie's roundup here would be very flattering.<br /><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/10/nordstrom-roundup-7-one-piece-swimsuits/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/.....swimsuits/</a><br /><br />PS - I like a bra style top (like, with an underwire and some support).&nbsp; It makes your boobs look better and balances out the hips.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905287 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:23:05 +0000 Echo 905287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both are cute, and I think your figure will allow you to wear just about any suit. You definitely look hourglass to me. My only concern with the lace suit would be if you will be swimming with your young children. I have three children myself, and they sometimes pull on mom, which could be tricky in a strapless! Additionally, I wonder how well the lace would hold up overall (snagging, chlorine degradation, etc.). I almost think you could find a happy medium between the coverage of the first and the strapless lace of the second... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuits-for-a-figure-8-shape#post-905268 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:02:00 +0000 Bree 905268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, I asked Imogen on fb if I was a V or an 8. She said V at first in some clothing, but other's makes me more of an 8 shape. So maybe I'm a cross between both. I'm needing to shop for a swimsuit soon, but last years monokini made me look to hippy. My hips looked terrible! What style should I go for. I'm not real comfortable showing off my belly just yet. Were getting ready to leave for California in May for my husbands space training then we will be in Colorado at our base for the summer. I need to get a swimsuit quick! I also posted 2 links of&nbsp; suits that interest me, would they work?<br /><br /><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/kenneth-cole-swimsuit-ruched-hardware-one-piece?ID=757841&amp;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....38;PseudoC</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/kenneth-cole-swimsuit-lace-bandeau-one-piece?ID=757842&amp;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....PseudoCat=</a><br /><br /><br />
