I have actually been trapped by clothes that weren't going to come even close to fitting before to the point where I was either going to have to She-Hulk it out of them or call the Target employee getting paid barely over minimum wage to bust me out...and it is at that point that I start to imagine the fire department getting called to use the jaws of life to get me out of the item of clothing. And yes - it is at that point that you either bust out laughing or just break down crying. Glad you got a good laugh out of it, girl! <br /><br />And you know what, no matter what you look like in the suit and whether you are a cotton candy delight or not - you're going to be having a blast in friggin HAWAII beotch! So you rock that suit no matter what!!!

You should go to Sears (yes the place that is notoriously known for old lady clothes) because they have a brand of swimsuits (I can't for the life of me remember the name) that are freaking awesome. I buy the little skirt type (not the super long flowy skirt but the shorter fits closer to the body type) and pair it with an extra long tankini. Or a triangle top with a long tank top over it so my boobs are supported but people aren't horrified by my stomach. I always get compliments from people my size on the suits. <br /><br />Check it out.... Good luck beautiful woman!!<br /><br />Adrianne (Jinxmebaby)Adriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399837314473412610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-16283858948647515532011-06-24T11:04:09.996-04:002011-06-24T11:04:09.996-04:00My coworker thinks I'm nuts because I'm si...My coworker thinks I'm nuts because I'm sitting here laughing. I've had those experiences in the dressing room. You just stare at yourself and think "Really? HOW is this plus size?" I actually bought a tankini this year and went with a swim skirt... NOT ready for boy shorts. I live on Lake Erie and this is the FIRST year in my life that I'll be going to the beach *gulp.* Lycra sucks!hollyphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599122252238787250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-21493014398683852142011-06-24T09:42:14.987-04:002011-06-24T09:42:14.987-04:00Sadly all of the brick and mortars have "old ...Sadly all of the brick and mortars have "old lady" patterns on them. You know, black skirt and some mod or floral print on top. Or they're a halter and while I like the style, they always end up hurting my neck or ripping out my hair. I also refuse to spend a ton of money (over $60) for a good looking bathing suit that's transitional and I'll only wear for a year. Beh.

So maybe you could wait until the first of the year or so before you decide for sure. <br /><br />I agree with BrandNewBuffy though, if you can find a brick and mortar type store where you could try on a variety of suits maybe you'd find something you like. Then you could buy it there or find a coupon to order the same thing online.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-22995512492381694842011-06-24T09:33:47.052-04:002011-06-24T09:33:47.052-04:00Nothing like shopping in the junior department.

It always makes me feel worse about myself although I try to not let the size bug me, but they have some cute stuff! <br /><br />Hmmm I wonder if you tried on a different swimsuit style if you would like it? Is there a store around that has some cute plus sized swim suits (that aren't juniors)? You gotta have a cute suit when you go to Hawaii :)BrandNewBuffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831025867273966818noreply@blogger.com
