As a follow up to my post yesterday (thanks for all of the replies!) I'd like to ask for input on bricks and mortar stores that carry plus size swimwear - skewing to the trendy/sexy end of the spectrum, not the frumpilicious side.

So far my only ideas are Macys and Nordstrom. FWIW I will be shopping in Austin,TX in early August.

Do you think the selection will be slim / picked over by that time or do I stand a decent chance of finding something in an actual store? I have online options but hate to tie up lots of $ on the credit card not knowing if any of it will even work.

Thanks a ton!
