I LOVE everything Lands End. Yay!

But I found that buying a bathing suit online is hit or miss.
I know for a fact () that bathing suit makers purposely make them a size or 2 smaller than you'd normally take, in order to embarrass, frustrate, demoralize females. I don't know one guy who has that problem.

I bought 2 bathing suits from a shop called *Cameo* that specializes in cruisewear. I opted for a takini because I could mix and match the sizes. I had to go up 2 sizes for a more comfy fit. I could barely contain my screams in the fitting room, which actually had a mirror so I didn't have to come out in public. (a part of the conspiracy). I also bought a one piece black. Their prices are reasonable, especially off season.

The one you bought is really sweet. I'm restraining myself from opening the new L.E. catalogue at the moment.
