And then there is the question of one piece or two piece tankinis. Call me old-fashioned, but I am not comfortable baring my midsection AT ALL--not even a bit of it for a second. So that is a point against almost every two piece out there. Even the tankinis I have seen are loose fitting enough and short enough to provide decent coverage while standing completely still. But forget about actually swimming in them or, heaven forbid, holding a child in the water. Up they go with the greatest of ease. HOWEVER, I don't like the one piece options much better. After four kids and sundry stretch marks, I don't love the coverage of one pieces. Sure the midsections are covered, but what about the rest? My ideal solution would be a longer, tighter top that didn't give a ghost of a chance of floating up or moving around AND better coverage options for the bottom half. Better coverage overall. But after lots of shopping, I was convinced this didn't exist. Hence, I have not loved trips to the pool.
So the other day I was complaining to a friend about my bad day of trying on bad suits and she said, "Try Lime Ricki. It's a site online with modest swimwear." Wow! Maybe you all know about this and I am slow to the party. But I was so excited. When I googled it I found two or three sites with quite a few good options.
I picked these two, hoping one would work out. I ordered them last week with the full intention of sending one back.
But, now that I have seen them both, I'm not sure which one to choose. Tell me which one you like better. I love them both. They are everything I have hoped for in a swimsuit. Now maybe I will be making more trips to the pool after all.

The halter is better suited for our body types...I am pretty sure you know what I mean, except right now I am doing okay in that area! Plus, I really like the colors and I think it would look great with your complexion!
I like the polka dot one.
Jordan wanted me to make sure you knew this wasn't him commenting.

I know - such a random comment on a old post... but I have always thought the ones you posted were super cute and vowed that if I got a new swim suit this summer I would look this up.. Do you still like yours? I am going to look at the site today and see if I like any. Wade has a trip to FL in March and I am going with him so I want a new suit (I think since I've had 3 babies since the last purchase, it's time!) Do you have my email? I really want to know if you still love yours or hate it now that you've had it....let me know!
