bathing suits...

we wouldn't mind looking like one of the women in the sports illustrated swimsuit issue...elle macpherson would do just fine...thanks...

we think it might be possible...we've been working out...we've given up most of our favorite food groups...we head to the swimsuit section of our local department store with a glimmer of hope in our soul...

ten suits later...we've decided that anyone who looks decent in a bathing costume is really just a hologram...another twenty...and we're ready to move to minsk...now that we need them...where are those knickers and tunics women wore to "take the waters" in the late 1800's?

a few pointers...know your body type and your trouble spots...do you have big hips and a small chest? is your tummy thicker than you want it to be? are you self-conscious about your full bust?

every season...there are new fabric blends and cuts to hold...flatter...and conceal an amazing spectrum of body types...try on a range of styles...patterns can camouflage or draw attention to specific areas...

a good website to start with is nordstrom.com swimshop...it actually has you put in your "body type" to start you off...

the good news is that with innovations in fabric and design...you're likelier than ever to find a suit you're happy with...one that finally lets you put your own swimsuit issue to rest...
