This is probably a stupid question, but I'm quite ignorant, so bear with me.

I need a one piece suit for swimming in. I don't swim a lot, but I'll be going somewhere this spring where there's a pool as part of a fitness centre and I'd like to be able to use it. My daughter absconded with my last one piece suit. Which didn't really fit me terribly well in the first place.

I ordered one from Land's End. It is a high necked suit, which can be difficult to find. I thought it might be more flattering to me. And I was right. Or at any rate, it doesn't look bad. Sporty, obviously, but after all, it is for sport. So that's okay.

The thing is, I think, but am not sure, that it is too big. It seems right in the length. It fits in the bust, armhole area, and so on.

But there seems to be a bit of extra fabric in the mid section. It doesn't look skin tight like on the model. I know we are all about fluid fit these days, but in swimsuits?

I'm sorry -- no photo of me in it. If you need one, I will get it. It's just that I have a massive bruise on my thigh that I am not eager to show off.

So, I thought I would ask all you swimmers: Will it stretch out and bag terribly in the water? Should it start off really snug?

Thank you!
