It’s almost swimsuit season, and Lands’ End can fit any figure
Memorial Day is two weeks from today, which means that summer is OFFICIALLY only fourteen days away. Which means that it’s time to talk about bathing suits.
I know, but you’ve GOT to have one. What’s summer without a trip to the pool or the beach, or just an afternoon in the sprinklers?
Swimsuits can be torture to shop for, because no matter how much you love your body when it is fully clothed, a swimsuit requires you to bare (almost) all. And those less-than-perfect spots that you have been cleverly camouflaging with loose skirts and tailored shirts will be on display for everyone to see.
Fortunately, Lands’ End recognizes that not every body is the same, and that very few (if ANY bodies) are perfect. Their swimsuit line is designed to fit a wide range of shapes and sizes (with cups that will accommodate up to a DD) and includes a nice selection of plus-size and post-mastectomy suits. The styles are hip and chic and the prices are right.
I would make one suggestion about buying swimwear online: order the suit you want in the size you think you need (measure carefully, and follow the site’s directions for determining size) as well as the size above and below. In other words, if you THINK you will need a 10, order an 8, a 10, and a 12 — and then return whatever doesn’t fit. The idea is to get the best fit, not to wear a certain number (you can always cut the tag out if you are unhappy with the size).
