It just gets harder and harder to find swim-suits that both fit and and are modest. Two years ago I moved up from tankinis to bikini tops with boy-cut shorts. (You should have seen the look on my and my mother's face when my dad said yes.) Anyways, the boy-cut shorts aren't much of a problem. The tops however... I draw the line at anything showing any roundness. That is impossible. We managed to find one that just kinda peek-a-booed. (I'd show y'all a picture, but no bikinis.) Luckily, we also found a pretty cute cover-up. (It's got a hood!)

My problem is I'm like... not proportional. My boobs are too big for the rest of my body. XD I'm about 110 pounds, 5'4", and in a 34B-34C, usually a little bigger just depending on the brand. :P I wear a small in bottoms, but tops are terribly hard to find. I gave up on one-pieces. I currently own two suits that I like very much, however, one has a size XS bottoms and the other has a size S top. Therefore, I can wear neither. Looks like I'll be in the same boat with you this year, Kat. Looking for a new suit. I still wear tankinis though. The parentals would probably let me move to bikinis, but I'm not comfortable showing that much skin.

Well, I stopped wearing tankinis A) because they kept bubbling up in the water and B) they all have key holes or something.

Your tog top has a hood on it?! Rad! I still think both of you girls have it good! Since I've put on weight (this is what happens when you don't play a sport and are too busy with uni work/too tired to exercise, which I REALLY need to start doing again) my boobs have gotten bigger. It's like, they weren't big enough already?! Anyway, all tog tops don't fit me cause they don't make them for my size so I have to wear a bra with a muscle back rash top over top. It's good though cause at least it keeps my tummy covered, it's just a little low for my liking... Mine is kinda like this: [img]http://www.kingofwatersports.com/images/roxy-rxcircus-vest.png[/img]

That's kind cute.

^me too, Kat. I have terribly wide hips, and they're really high. I hate my hips. :P I love board shorts. I hate being cheeky. Icky. I also hate wedgies and you avoid that with board shorts.

Well, I used to hate my figure because I kept being called Stick. Then I filled out and got an hour glass figure. Made the gals in class pretty mad. :laugh:

A few selections on my "maybe" list for this year...

I showed them to the resident 'expert' and she and I agree that the last one is the cutest. However, I really do like the first one.

You know what they say about women with wide hips, right? :P Oooooh, I like the spotty one!
