Bathing suit season

It's true fabric is very expensive, and the quality is not always that good. I work at JoAnn's, so I know when the deals are.

Xadika- It is a bit of work, but I always find it pays off to have a print/color that I love, fitted exactly right. As opposed to a ho-hum print/color, that doesn't fit quite right. I'm just one of those unlucky people that doesn't fit the normal sizes, you know? This is always a problem when fitting for swimsuits, too.

so glad I'm not the only 5'4 woman with issues of trying to find clothes that actually FIT. I've been a size 12 GIRLS (yep..less than a size 0

and it was horrible *thanks thyroid!*) and I've been a size 10 and that too wasnt pleasant *thanks again thyroid!* - so I've run the gamut on sizes and weights, from 95 lbs to 145 lbs.... my closet is even confused! LOL Currently I'm a size... "uncomfortable"

for me.

How about jeans that either fit in the waist and legs..but not in the butt area - or they fit in the butt, but not in the waist/legs?

AND..if they DO fit in the waist and butt area..then they are too short in the leg area! ARGH!!

Never ending!

Bathing suits - same issues. My hips are NOT up near my "ladies" thanks very much - I dont have that long of a torso. Or... I need more fabric in the back and front... I'm pushing 40 here.. not some teen with the bod of Miss America for crying out loud laying on the beach in Rio

Aggrevating is soooooo the word. Lets not even talk about what actually IS a bikini cut and a hipster cut. OMG... and forget about "low rider" jeans..... if I wanted carpenter crack...I'd call a plumber!

Don't even get me started. I'm 5'6'' with a short torso and long legs, and it is so hard to find pants that fit. Most of the time if they fit in the waist/seat the pant legs are too short.

5'2 and 131 lbs.....No bathig suit this year for me unless i want to go on a 4 week starvation period. Knee shorts and large shirts for me this summer.

omg! lol How about 5'1 and 150?! And guess what, I'll still wear a bathing suit because otherwise I would miss out on all the fun! Girls...think about all the women much bigger out there than you, and keep in mind someone loves you for just the way you are so really...what do you have to worry about?! I'm not saying I'm miss confident, I'm not! But I'm curvy and I'm not obese and I'm certainly not going to LOSE any of my fluff sitting around missing out on all the fun, so I'll be in a bathing suit doing all the fun things that you do in the summer! Altho, I know what u girls are saying to about not fitting...for as short as I am I have a long torso and even sizes that are too big i the waist, etc for bathing suits STILL don't come down far enough to cover my belly (which I do have lots of stretch marks that I don't like putting out there) so I usually end up tugging my bathing suit down constantly and THAT'S annoying! They ned to make like "long" tankinis or something!

Low rise! Who wants to spend the whole freakin' day having to suck in their gut so it doesn't hang out over the top of those things? And who thinks they are attractive?

I'm 5'4" and 133 lbs, but still have thunder thighs. We're all just human. It would be so boring if we all looked alike.

I have a question, my wife complains about her looks too. Why is it that women always complain about thier looks no matter how beautiful they are?

'Cause we don't look like the woman in magazines, and we know that men are visually-oriented creatures.​

My opinion, most of the women in the magazines need to eat something they look like they havent ate in a month.
