She is about my height but has not matured yet(in the top dept.) so it was very difficult to find a suit. Target had cute seperates for about $19 a piece. I also said no to the bathing suits. I am still in hibernation mode and haven't shed my winter coat.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257386941472818722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-25385751464076655672007-04-24T20:54:00.000-06:002007-04-24T20:54:00.000-06:00Hard job!

The cute ones were too skimpy and the modest ones had torpedo bra's built into them. It's a conspiracy I think! I think that there would be a huge market for cute modest swimming suits for young and old!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000458717596988346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-64141532985529504102007-04-24T11:22:00.000-06:002007-04-24T11:22:00.000-06:00I'm getting stressed just reading about it - my 16...I'm getting stressed just reading about it - my 16 yr old needs a new one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-75032143983848264772007-04-24T10:34:00.000-06:002007-04-24T10:34:00.000-06:00Ah, this is what I have to look forward to with Mi...Ah, this is what I have to look forward to with Miss Olyvia.

Last year's suit wasn't so hard, we ordered from land's end, we wanted something with a skirt on the bottom-which is hard to find. It was the price that got me.
