Do you buy

swimsuits online and where do you buy them?

I have never bought a swimsuit online. I like to try them on to see how they will actually fit. My MIL has gone to landsend and bought a few, but I can't bring myself to do it.

I bought one last year from jcpenney.com. Looked great on the model, but when I tried it on, it was really flimsy and wayyyyy too low cut. Mind you, I only pick out v-neck suits, but this was really low cut. As long as you can return it, who cares?

Every year I get mine from Landsend. They have very good size charts and what flatters your figure the best charts to go by.

I've been looking at landsend and I see a few I might like. I might get the courage and buy one. Are the swimsuits true to size?

I haven't bought a swimsuit from any place other than Lands' End in years. I love theirs.

The sizes run true, in my experience

I have had good luck with Land's End. I really like their overstocks page- good deals! Plus I like that they take the Sears card!

I have very good luck with swimsuits at Lands End.

Newport News has super cheap swimsuits, I bought about 4 before my WDW trip in May (I won't rewear suits on a trip). They all fit great!

Nope. But then, I don't buy bathing suits. I already have one and that's enough. I will likely never buy another bathing suit in my life and probably never wear the one I have again because of the scars on my leg. I'd rather people didn't see them.

I have bought about 8 swimsuits from Lands End.....AND HAD TO RETURN EVERYONE OF THEM!!!

And the shipping on Land's End stuff ain't cheap! I won't do it again--sticking to the department stores. It's a grueling experience isn't it?

Another vote for Land's End. Their suits are true-to-size, and their wear beautifully. I also purchased some suits through Eddie Bauer online as well with good results.

I like the Victoria's Secret swimsuits....first one I ordered from the catalog, 2nd one I bought online. Didn't have internet access when I bought the first one.

Bought one last year from Newport News online, it was terrible, ripped down the side, and I sent it back. Yuck. That's the only one I've bought from them though, could have just been bad luck, but I'll never find out now!

I bought a suit from Victoria's Secret about 8 years ago -- 2 piece. First time I wore it, I walked from the hotel out to the beach and the plastic clasp on the back broke. No, it wasn't too tight. Thank God for towels!

I ordered 2 from Venus swimwear and I hated it. I even got a size bigger than me and the darn thing was still too small and the aterial was very uncomfortable. Never again!

Last year I bought from Lands End. I couldn't find one in any of the stores here. I had to return 2 suits before finding one that fit right. It's was better than the odds I was facing trying them on in local dept. stores. I have a Sears nearby so shipping wasn't an issue - you just take your reciept and any LE merchandise and they take care of that for you.

I've bought from Lands End for years since I can't seem to find anything that works for me in dept stores.

 

[gottaluvPluto]

I went to landsend last night and almost bought one. I think I did that twice. I might look around at the mall this week and if I can't find anything I will try landsend or EB.

I have never bought a suit on-line or from a catalog & I'm not sure if I ever would.

I am just too critical of myself & the way a bathing suit looks on me to not be able to try it on first.

I have thought about trying Lands End but never have. Many of you have given me something to think about though. Maybe I'll give them a shot!
