two-pieces always look better than one-pieces. though I like some retro-y one-pieces.

retro one piece yes. two pieces do not look good on me I don't think.

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

thanxxx for the add! ;-)

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

honestly, I think I prefer two pieces on every body type because one pieces tend to do weird sausage-y things with the body.

oh hell yes

― sanskrit, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

remember when some model wore that crazy thing in an '80s SI swimsuit issue, and people were agape asking "what IS that?"

monokini people

― sanskrit, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

also, I do not understand bandeau tops. halter tops are the way to go.

it looks like something a socially-conservative grandmother would put on her bat-faced and developmentally precocious granddaughter.

I think it looks great.

That one might be a little too self-consciously vintagey for me, but I'm very fond of all the styles at www.mybabyjo.com.

And I've found the quality of their suits to be EXCELLENT.

i got red, too, laurel. i say we go out with matching parasols.

― lauren, Thursday, 17 May 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

And hibiscus in our hair? Done and done.

― Laurel, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel - those suits are fantastic. I have also never worn bikinis and think I may have just found my summer 2007 swimsuit thanks to you.

― ENBB, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

we can kick sand in the faces of overly-tanned girls in neon butt floss bikinis.

-- remy bean, Thursday, May 17, 2007 11:43 AM (30 minutes ago)

i really like it!

i haven't bought a new bathing suit in years and i feel a bit bewildered. i tried on a one-piece last week and the bottom part looked good but i have a bit too much going on "upstairs" for the top part. i lost a bunch of weight recently and maaaybe if i suck in my gut i can make a conservative bikini work.

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

I prefer to be either fully clothed or nude on the beach (ie, get ready, San Francisco).

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

jbr, i found a site recently (exelnt.com) that i might eventually order a "tankini" from if i can come up with the cash. they do suits with real underwire bra support.

― lauren, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

I would swimming with all this white girls.

marilyn-style suit: y/n?

http://www.retrodress.com/images/ew117tn.jpg

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

Model is SECRET UGLEY?

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

I like it but fear the Marilyn could potentially wind up looking like an old lady bathing suit.

― ENBB, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

that's kinda what i'm thinking too.

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

that's a big problem with retro-style suits.

― lauren, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

Fifties-style suits are admirably apt for women with hips and busts - what's not to like? I'm not too keen on the skirted ones, though.

― Michael White, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, actual skirts are a bit much, plus when wet they just hang horribly and drip everywhere! The boy-cut suits with ruched fronts hold a little extra water too but at least they're sturdy enough not to sag, and there's not THAT much extra fabric.

― Laurel, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

The Marilyn suit looks like too much fabric on a skinny girl. Maybe it's the wrong size for her. If the model were bigger, the suit would look better IMHO. There's too much skirt on it; it makes the model look like she has no real curves underneath. The blouseyness of the top also seems like it's trying to make a flat girl look like she has something when she really has nothing up top. I thought swimsuits should show off curves, not cover them up!

How about the real Marilyn suit?

I could wear my old speedoish thing to Thursday night drinx? does Zeitgeist have a dress code?

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

Ehhh... it's not the most tolerant bar on that side of Market, YMMV... Might I recommend Martuni's just up Duboce at Market? From there you can crawl to Moby Dick, The Men's Room, etc.

seriously

― jergïns, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:28 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, Lub! To be perfectly fair my taste runs to the absolute opposite of bling and/or maximum exposure, so clearly the plungey spangly hotness is meant for someone else!

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

that's cool! I can see how the baby phat suit would not be for everyone, but I stand by my two-piece advocacy.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

It's definitely easier to find cute two-pieces than one-pieces, and it's really time for me to replace my seventh grade athletic swimsuit since I am actually going to a beach next week, but I am currently thinking nothing will be flattering so better to cover up. Basically my stomach is not flat and I don't have the chest to make up for it. (IMO, the cutest suit on here is the black cherry one, but it would only work for someone with a tiny waist like the model.)

― Maria, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

Oh my. Somehow that picture gives the impression of nakedness more than a bikini would (though Wicked Weasel tries hard, cheeky little fella).

― Mark C, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

That's the point. Basically it says "I HAS A BELLY BUT U CANT SEE IT".

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

I like that the mybabyjo swimsuits all have tummy control. Sign o'quality.

― Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, they're not kidding about that, either.

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

I think I look better in a two-piece.

― kenan, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

I also think this wins:

and this one: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodlgvw/V261663.jpg

I have no idea if I'll like either of them on, but I guess we'll see.

luna, that top suit you got is so great that i would buy it even if it did look bad on me! (and i will consider doing so if i can in the next few days, where is it from?)

― Maria, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

omg Laurel, I love that one!

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

WHOA Laurel that black lacy one is amazing!

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

YEAH ME TOO BUT YOU CAN'T GET IT WET WTF

― Laurel, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

shit, that's the one that's "not fit for water." you should get it anyway and wear it everywhere. the office, the gym, the bar. so cute!

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Oh why the tease? Oh 'swimsuit,' why?

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

what happens when it gets wet??
disintegration?

― rrrobyn, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

changing back into a pumpkin?

― rrrobyn, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

hott

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

I really like the blue one w/the wrap arounds, too.

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

that would be my worry, yeah, otherwise I'd say just swim in it anyway.

xpost disintegration, I mean, not turning into a pumpkin. it would totally be worth turning into a pumpkin to wear that bathing suit.

― horseshoe, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

The tan lines would really be something.

― Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

i wish there was a non-creepy way of telling you guys about the lady who is 8-9 months pregnant and has been hanging out at the pool by my office all week in a blue string bikini and how radiant and comfortable she looks. it really is something.

― g®▲Ðұ, Friday, 18 May 2007 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

Pregnant women are often hot. That's not necessarily creepy.

― deej, Friday, 18 May 2007 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

That model for the blue suit looks like she's got some kind of flotation device on her chest. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

― Beth Parker, Friday, 18 May 2007 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

I worked at a maternity clothing store so I could look at beautiful preggos. Sorry if that'screepy. But I was doing a good job with sales and i was the only one who could fit bras properly.

― Abbott, Friday, 18 May 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

thinking of ordering this one. i'm wary of ordering clothing through the mail but it's worth a shot since i haven't liked anything i've seen in stores.

My pulse seriously quickened a bit when I saw that picture.

― Sundar, Saturday, 19 May 2007 01:24 (nineteen years ago)

get bent you should order that one but only if you stand around the pool/beach in that pose

― max, Saturday, 19 May 2007 01:32 (nineteen years ago)

to each his own, jbr, but those vintage-y suits up thread are a lot nicer than that bikini

― bobby bedelia, Saturday, 19 May 2007 02:23 (nineteen years ago)

the cherry bikini is pretty cute.

i'm also thinking that i want to stay away from dark colors because they'll make my already ghostly skin look an even whiter shade of pale.

― get bent, Saturday, 19 May 2007 02:38 (nineteen years ago)

xpost to beth - yeah, yesterday i was abt to post how i love that blue cut-out suit with the wraps/ties but how it was taking a lot reimaginging to see on self or most people really b/c lol boobs r hueg

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 19 May 2007 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

my suit came! and it looks good, way better than it does on that skanky model. maybe if i'm drunk enough on caipiroskas i'll take a pic on the beach in rio.

― get bent, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

seven years pass...

I am married to an attractive woman with a nice figure. When we go to the beach, she wears a one-piece bathing suit. Her desire is to not to display her body in such a way as to draw attention to it. She wants to enjoy the sun in the wind, but she also desires to be modest. I think that a one-piece bathing suit is a good compromise and shows reasonable judgment.
