Most swim suits for us ‘bigger’ girls I usually find ugly, tacky and just not flattering at all. The skirts on the suits I think make you look older and bigger than you already are. I mean come on, just because I’m a plus sized girl, doesn’t mean I don’t want to look cute and stylish in my swimming gear when I hit the pool or beach, that is, when I’m brave enough to put on a swim suit in the first place.
This year, I’ve decided to be bold and Lands’ End was there to help me. With a great plus sized swim line for women, finding a suit that fits your style and your body type isn’t a frustrating task any longer. Not only do they have flattering styles for all types of women in every body shape, but they address those problem areas as well, so if you need that extra support in the bust area, or need a little slimming in the tummy you’ll find what you need from Lands’ End.
With a wide range of pieces from a one piece to mixing and matching separates you’ll find something that fits you just right! I love their separate pieces so much that that’s what I chose when picking out my review swimwear to try out. My major issues is my tummy area so finding a suit that could minimize and slim me, even just a little so I felt just a bit more confident and comfortable in a swimsuit this season.
I chose the Beach Living Ikat Print Scrunchback Tie Front Swim Top and the Beach Living Tummy Control SwimMini for the bottom. The Beach Living Scrunchback Tie Front Swim Top I am in love with, not only is the pattern very cute and flattering but the top can be worn two ways. The square neckline cinches to a sweetheart neckline with a single tie, which gives you two looks in one. There’s also a cute scrunch in the back that ensures your straps will stay in place, there’s nothing worse than straps sliding down while your swimming, and that I didn’t find happening at all. There’s also a soft cup bra inside that makes things just a little more comfortable to give you the support you need.
The Beach Living Tummy Control SwimMini gave me the confidence that I needed to step out to the pool in a suit. The panty inside the skirt has control lining that smooth’s and flatters in the exact area you need it, and the skirt isn’t so bad, it’s actually very cute and anything but an ‘old lady’s suit’. The wider waistband also doesn’t dig in and is very comfortable to wear all day both just to lounge around in, and swim in. These bottoms definitely give me the support and sleeker look I want to have while in a swim suit.
Lands’ End swimsuit sizes are also very true to size. I had no issues ordering online and having the garments fit me once they arrived. I love the separates Lands’ End provides for all their swimsuits but especially the plus size line, thank you for allowing us bigger girls to find a great suit and the right fit at the same time!
You can check out their wide variety of swim suits for all sizes for men, women and even children by visiting their website at www.landsend.com.

My main problem area that concerns me when shopping for a bathing suit is my chest. Finding a bathing suit that is large enough on top but still looks good everywhere else. Also I need good support to hold my girlfriends.
My biggest challenge when buying a swimsuit is finding a comfortable one that flattens the tummy area and doesn't look too grandma-ish.

If I won I would buy the Beach Living Paradise Floral V-neck Halter swim top and the Beach Living Solid Supplex Nylon Swim Shorts. I have been wanting some swim shorts to wear to all the water parks.

My main issue in finding a suit is getting the right size for the top and the right size for the bottom. Suits just don't seem to fit me that great. And I don't think I am that much out of proportion! Thanks for the giveaway!
At thsi point I would get the

The challenge for me is always hiding my tummy! Thanks for a great giveaway.
It's always the FIT. And style!
After many years and trying on dozens of bathing suits each season, I find that I have a pretty good idea of what style is going to look good. Sometimes I get fooled and have to keep hunting. No cross cut top, no
back strap like a Speedo, fuller on top to hide the bottom. : - )
The good thing is ..there is always at least one per season.

I actually like suits that are 2 pieces with a board short or skirt to cover my thighs a little. Not always easy to find one that's flattering and doesn't make me look like a grandma. (Not that there's anything wrong with that):)

I love the suit that you choose. Very nice. Let's see what issue do I have when choosing a suit... normally I like to hide the belly a little and minimize the hips.
Everything I try on wants to cling to my stomach. Another problem I have is nothing supports my chest enough. This gift card could help me on my never ending quest for a great suit.

My biggest issue with swimsuits used to be NOTHING to fill the top. Unfortunately, with my second pregnancy well underway, my newest issue is drawing attention well away from the very yucky varicose veins that now cover my legs. :(

Ooh - just checked out the website. The beach living mini is on sale! That kind of skirt would totally cover up some of my less desirable assets. And any of the halters would improve my top!

If I win, I might give the Women's Original Sport Tankini a try....
I'm not big, but the biggets problem I have is that the elastic seems to give out too soon. BTW, this would be for my wife who loves Land's End swimsuits (and bought one earlier this year).
My biggest issue with swimsuits is finding one with good tummy control.
My main issue with finding a swimsuit is that the "upper" part of my body is much larger than the bottom so I actually need two different sizes. Most swimsuits are not mix and match, which is really frustrating to me.
