Aloha,
I did a search to find this thread.
I wanted to publically thank Tink for giving me a hint that has done so much for my ego.

We have no Sears on island, so we had to wait for our vacation. Our first stop was Las Vegas, and first day I was off to Sears. I immediately identified the suits you referred to. They actually looked good!

Unfortunately the one I really liked was not in my size. So I decided to chance it and wait until we got to Florida. It was the biggest gamble I took in Vegas!
Our next stop was at my parents winter home in Melbourne. First day there I asked my father to take me to Sears, and I found my suit in the size I wanted. I have never in my life spent so much on a bathing suit!

But it is well worth it. I feel good in my suit and living in Hawaii, I will be sure to get my money's worth. If I could I would have bought more than one.
I have been back one month now and kept meaning to come here to thank you Tink. I am sorry it took me so long. You were so right. I am now a grandma that doesn't have to wear an old fashioned granny suit and I have a kind name to call my matured body shape.
A lei of aloha to someone who is very grateful.
Donna
