A lot of folks suggested going to Lands End to try swimsuits on my virtual model, so I did. I don't love these bathingsuits as much as I did the one I can't have, but I think these are doable. Please cast your vote for your favorite. Thanks!

And here is a picture of me taken last month. It isn't a good picture of my face, but it shows my body which is all that counts when trying on a bathingsuit.

Since i'm here... I guess I'll vote.
Chose #4. I think it looks very nice and keeps your body in proportion. I'd buy that 1.
I have to admit though, that seeing all these bathing suits in mostly black(slimming I know) really disheartens me. I'm sick to death of black suits with a few colors added in. Seems like nobody has any imagination in swimsuits these days.
Unless you can wear a bikini.
Good luck

I "tried" on some of the colored suits, but I just couldn't see myself in one. Maybe it is all the years of wearing black, I don't know. Thanks for the vote.

They are all nice, but I think #4 is the most slimming. :D

I like the last one best. I need a new suit for my upcoming Disney trip. I am going to check this site out too.

I am voting number one............
I like ths one the best cause the top part ( around the neck is lower) I think it makes you look skinnier.

I voted for #1. It definitely makes your body appear slimmer with the great neckline!

I voted number 1 if I had a second vote it would be number 4.

I voted for #4. It draws the eyes UP instead of down.

#1. It has a beautiful neck line. Very slimming!

I really like #4. It really looks slimming!

I voted for #1- I like how the neck is lower and gives a very flattering appearance. I think it brings the eyes up higher and away from the hip and tummy area.
I bought a Lands End bathing suit last summer that has shorts in it. I am hoping for something a little more revealing this year to show off my new figure.
Good luck, they are all cute though.

Wow, I am so surprised with the results so far. It seems like #4 is the most popular and that really surprises me. I'm going to let this ride for another 24 hours I think and then go from there.
Thanks so much for your input. I sure wish all webstores offered the virtual model.

I like all the suits, but #4 & #1 were my favorites. For #4, I thought the blue on top brought the eye up and the black on bottom was very slimming to the hips. On #1, I too liked the v-neckling and thought it gave a long, lean look. I also liked the pattern.
Just a thought-could you order both suits and send back the one you like least after trying them on? (Or would you be like me and like them both and keep both?) I think the virtual model thing is cool, but I would want to know how they feel also. (Are they comfy, do they ride up, etc.) Plus, sometimes I think they just look different when you actually get them on.
I loved your picture. You look fabulous!! Hey! Another thought--you could take pictures in both and post another poll!! (Sez me, who has never posted a picture, much less one of me in a bathing suit! :teeth: )
I really don't think you will go wrong with any of these--they are all cute. When all is said & done, what you should do is choose the one you are most drawn to. That's the one you will feel the best and most confident in! :D

I voted for number 1 -- I love the pattern, and the neckline. My second choice would definitely be number 4.

I voted for #1. The lower cut neckline draws the eye to your cleavage :teeth: (nothing wrong with that!). Plus, I'd rather people looked there than at my bottm!! I also think the pattern is more apt to conceal/distract than all that solid black on the bottom. Let us know what you decide!!

I liked #3 better than #4. I have no idea why, though

I actually thought about doing both of your suggestions. I may very well order both, but I am not sure I am brave enough to post a picture of me in a swimsuit....that is really putting ones self out there!

I picked #1. I love the print and the neckline. #4 would be my second choice.

I voted for #4, but also like #1 with the neckline, just not the b/w print. I'd hold out for a #1 style with a #4 color. :p

I finally placed my order, so I will let you know how it works out after I receive them. I ordered #1 in Navy instead of black and I ordered #4. My plan is to try them both on and to keep the one I like best.....I just hope one of them work out. I'll keep you posted. :)
Thanks for the help!

I'll bet the navy print is cute! Kind of a nice change from the black we all seem to favor so much of the time! You'll look terrific in both of them. :sunny: :sunny:
Keep us posted! We'll be waiting to hear which suit "suited" you best! :D

Wish I'd gotten here earlier to check this thread again. Tigger, did you check the return policy for Bathing suits? Some states have a law stating that all bathing suit sales are final for sanitary reasons. I don't know if that would apply to the internet or not. Anyhow, i wish you luck with your suits and let us know which 1 you plan on keeping.

You know, that is something I never thought about. I am pretty sure that Lands End takes them back as I returned a suit to them last summer, but I will check just the same.
