Default Bathing-suit season is FAST approaching. Share your itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikinis!

I posted a photo of this in Looking Good, Feeling Great, but wanted to see what all of my wonderful WW ladies (and gentleman) had picked out for this summer! As most of you know, I am in love with ANYTHING pin up. I got this for Christmas and can't WAIT to wear it!



I also REALLY want this one, for when I'm brave enough to wear a two piece!


Anyone have any fabulous bathing-suits they have their eye on for summer or already own?

I love looking for goal weight clothing.

What a cute suit! I love pin-up related things, so the photo is pretty awesome, too.

Swimsuits aren't my thing, I grew up a few minutes away from a beach. We just went in our shorts and t-shirts, so that's how I still think of the beach. But, I do love looking at cute outfits for goal-related-research

For thread purposes, though, I did see this suit here, and found it totally adorable!

@Lovely, I hadn't owned a bathing suit until last year since I was a kid, so I completely understand what you mean about t-shirts and shorts. That bathing suit is super cute.

I love pin up stuff, too! It's just so flattering on fuller figures. I like that suit, lovely.. I love Torrid, but am not big enough in the chestage area to be able to wear their stuff. (Same with Lane Bryant) :\

I saw this at Walmart a few weeks ago, and think it's adorable. In fact, they have a little red suit, that looks very similar to that first one you posted, tessendicott.

That's why I plan on stopping losing weight weight at 165, which may even be a little too small on my frame. I still want to have a full figure, I don't want to be *too* skinny. The smallest I was in HS was a size 8 and I weighed 180.

Also, that bathingsuit from Walmart is SO cute! I'm really surprised. They're doing much better in their clothing department lately.

I love Tara G swimwear, but her sizing is odd - like "add 3" to the bust if you are 33" or larger.... And then add to that for bust/cup size". I wish I could try stuff on locally instead of having to special order anything/everything for swimwear. I 'can' stuff myself in to regular swimsuits, but I for once want a bra that fits right in a swimsuit!

I currently wear a 34 F or G cup. Most swimsuits are designed for B cups - um NO WAY! Even lands end has "D cups" but that is not enough and I want WIRES, no more uni-boob stuff for me!

LOL @ uniboob. Yeah wires are way more flattering.

I really like the retro suit, but I WANT those red heels. LOVE.

It's at www.pinupgirlclothing.com. The only thing that kills me is they are REALLY EXPENSIVE. My mom paid $110 for mine, but that's the most expensive piece of clothing I've ever had purchased for me and it was a Christmas present. Just the top alone from the bikini is $78 and they have a waiting list for it because every single size is sold out and they don't have the bottoms anymore. However, I think once you reach goal, or if you already have, you should completely spoil yourself and spend at least $100 on something nice to wear.

I found this Etsy shop that has almost the EXACT same bikini and she custom makes them:

I was just looking through the Victoria's Secret stuff for this year and they have some REALLY super cute bikinis.

I love these:

I kind of like this style:

I just wish they made suits in larger sizes with more funky and fun prints. I also see a lot of really cute bikini's with great patterns and designs but have trouble finding cute suits in larger sizes with those same cute designs and patterns ::le sigh::

I totally just posted a blog post about bathing suits, including one from Pin Up Girl Clothing! Some from Mod Cloth, too. I love vintage-styled swimsuits

I had a bathing suit die last year. It was a tankini but it was maternity. Even though I've never been pregnant, I have to say, maternity swimwear sometimes is longer and fits better, and no one could tell it was maternity. Anyway so its time to buy a new one.

I love this one http://www.walmart.com/ip/Suddenly-S...msuit/19226180

I also want this to cover up http://www.walmart.com/ip/Contour-by...er-Up/19225609
