Old Navy and American Eagle both usually have a pretty diverse selection of cute swim suits. Old Navy is usually cheaper.

Exactly where I was going to send you! Old Navy is great! Great prices, more coverage, and around here it's very "in" so kids don't mind shopping there!

Good luck! SO happy I don't have to worry about this for a few years!!

I am amazed at how SMALL the clothing is for a teenager.. it is a wonder they all don't have complexes.. and it is no wonder they all look like like they have been squeezed into their outfits... ...... In Pac Sun, Wet Seal, the Largest shirts they have look like a SMALL... and the pants.. holy cow!! a size 9 looks like a size3....... I insist dd wear a large shirt and get pants that at least let her breathe!!! LOL

ok.. and what is it with having the bra straps showing all the time?? like with tank tops with spaghetti straps??

Clothes have definatly gotten smaller. When I was in 8th grade, I weighed 98 lbs and I was a size 3/4. Now I've gotten a lot shaplier, and I weigh around 110 lbs, and I'm a size 0!!!
It's very hard for me to find clothes that don't look like I'm about to go to a club, and that actually cover me up for school and work!
However, I've fallen in love with American Eagle, their shirts tend to cover my stomach!

I think Lands End is the way to go. They even have suits out in their overstock section.
