Where did you find the suit **alice**?  
I was going to suggest visiting Swimco…they are expensive, but I’ve had great help there, and always walked out with a super awesome suit, that not only looks good but can actually be swum in. (which I can’t wear right now due to the extra person I’m currently hauling around, but that’s a whole other story)

I stick to board shorts and bikini tops.

Me, too, well, sort of. I wear a tankini and cover my ass with board shorts.

Gotta love the tankini.

Yep, I went to Swimco. I tried on about 50 suits, and almost lost it about 5 times.

It was a good thing I didn’t bring a weapon with me into the change room, or I would have used it for sure.

But it all turned out in the end, right? 🙂  
I find good instructions help.  
“I won’t wear boy shorts. Do not show me anything that has boy shorts for bottoms. And no white. Any colour but white”
