Hi Ladies,
It seems some of my sistuhs have also used Lands End. I have tried sometimes buying a couple of styles in a couple of sizes, then returning the ones you don't like.
Because they have that privacy strip on the bottom, they let you return them. I have also found their operators and on-line chat folks to be very knowledgeable about the products. So they can tell you if that Tugless Tank that Boomer likes fits true ti size. Even when I was a size 6 (back when I met Mr. Katezbox a mere 8 years ago), I still took a size larger in a suit.
I also really like that they have a lot of the two piece tankini styles. I am really short waisted, but have long legs to they fit me better especially now that I am a bit fluffier. And don't worry about the "-ini" at the end - these cover up what needs covering!
We New Englanders also call them bathing suits.
Kate
