For losing 3/4 of my goal weight, my reward is this lovely expensive swimsuit from Land's End - seen in my avatar!
My problem is determining which size to buy. I'm close enough to my goal weight now to order. Here's their relevant sizing info:
Size 8 10 12
Bust 36 37 38 1/2
Waist 29 1/2 30 1/2 32
Hips 39 40 41 1/2
Torso (Reg) 61 1/2 62 3/4 64
Torso (Short) 59 60 1/4 61 1/2
Torso (Long) 64 65 1/4 66 1/2
D-cup 8 10 12
Bust 37 38 39 1/2
Waist 29 1/2 30 1/2 32
Hips 39 40 41 1/2
Torso (Reg)62 63 1/4 64 1/2
By hips, I should order an 8. By waist, I'm a bit more, but this is where I have excess skin which could really use the slenderizing feature of this suit! And, I'm normally wearing size 8 jeans now, so that's a match.
By length, I should order the long torso and even that pushes me towards the size 10.
By bust, I should order a 12 or the special D-cup model of this swimsuit in size 10.
So, in a perfect world, I should order a size 10 Long D-Cup. But, alas, the special "D-cup" suit doesn't offer long torso. So, I'm stuck deciding between three options.
A. Order 10 Long and live with some squish in the top. I have been nursing my son three times a day until this week and just dropped to two. Over the next few months, I'm going to fade out altother. (He's 18 months old.) So, maybe, I'll shrink a bit?
B. Order a 10 D-Cup and have it be a little tight in the length.
C. Order a 12 Long and give up some of the slenderizing power of the suit.
Thoughts, girls?
