Lands' End. They have a good selection, good fit and most importantly, they
have a great return policy. You can return anything for any reason, even
swimwear that you've tried in the water.(I've done it)

Subject: [h-cost] OT - +size swimwear


I know I'm not the only Rubenesque woman here, so I'm wondering,
where do you ladies purchase your plus-size swimwear? I swim 3x/week, and my
two swimsuits are in very serious need of replacement. Of course it's
October. There's no swimwear to be found, and the major stores for plus
sizes (for me Pennington's in Ontario, Canada) don't bring in their
cruise-wear until late November, and I'm living in fear that I may be caught
flashing before then.



I've checked some places online, but I'm loathe to commit the
very serious dollars before knowing anything about these places.



Anyone have an information?



I'm looking, btw, for a size 26 or 28 swimdress.



Regards,

Lorina

Here's a couple of links.  I've bought from Junonia before and their quality 
is good.

Lorina,

You might want to find some swimwear store in Florida.  It is snowbird 
season, so they might have a good selection.

Lorina,

I usually vote for Lands' End.  I haven't swum laps in any of their suits, 
though.

They have swimdresses.  I like their tankinis.  They go up to 26W, so it may or 
may not work for you.

Your purchase is guaranteed - If you’re not satisfied with any item, simply 
return it to us at any time for an exchange or refund of its purchase price.

I haven't bought swimwear from them, but Land's end is usually very  
good quality.  I believe they have some closeout priced swimwear  
right now.

I haven't bought the plus sizes, but I LOVE their swimwear -- sanely
engineered designs, good quality, and attractive.
