Karie Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've always bought Speedos because they fit the upper portion of my body ( I have NO chest to speak of), but I do have hips-not gigantic ones, but hips that I would like to cover to counteract my small upper body. I've gone to Dillards to have help in fitting bras, are there stores out there that can help in fitting swimsuits? Thanks! ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I would try calling Land's End. I LOVE their suits and they fit my very long torso really well. They have some really nice suits this season - I just got their catalog yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I don't know of any stores that fit swimsuits. Lands' End does have custom-fitted suits. The way they do that is: First, determine your bra size (they tell you how). Then determine your regular swimsuit size by waist, hips and torso measurements. Then you look up your regular swimsuit size and select a "custom" suit from that, based on your bra size. That way, you can get a suit that fits both your upper and lower body. Lands' End will let you return it, too. I couldn't find a return policy that exempts custom clothing. http://www.landsend.com/ix/index.html?store=le&action=newSearch&search=custom+swimsuits&imageField.x=0&imageField.y=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth in IL Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I was going to suggest Land's End as well or any place where you can mix and match tops and bottoms. I know that Kohl's have mix and match tops and bottoms and these are not just bikinis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketmaker Amy Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Another vote for Land's End. I am a "long torso" and I can always find a suit there that fits me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerie in Chicago Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It sounds like we have similar body types -- hips wider than shoulders, no chest really. I have a suit that I got a few years ago from JC Penney that I like. It has a tankini kind of top, and the bottoms are board shorts. So it covers my hiney and hips and flatters my legs. I once got a pair of board shorts from Eddie Bauer too. But that was a while ago. Anywhooooo, just tossing in my 2-cents.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
