So. We're planning a group trip to Culebra, Puerto Rico, home of Flamenco Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (Kasen's first trip!) at the end of February and that has resulted in a mad rush to find bathing suits that fit our newfound post-pregnancy (in the case of my friends, pregnancy AGAIN!) bodies. You know, much larger chests and the unfortunate saggy extra skin pooch as many of us are not blessed with superior no-stretch mark genes. Let's face it ladies - although most of us are almost back to our pre-pregnancy weight, that extra jiggly skin is going nowhere soon (honestly, where do you find the time to go to the gym if you are a working mom!?). While I used to love wearing bikinis I thought I'd spare other beachgoers the unsightly. This led me on a determined search for flattering and comfortable post-pregnancy bathing suits...and realized how little supply there was to satisfy the demand out there!
The consensus for flattering included suits with ruching and prints, which illude the eye. I've narrowed my favorites to the following (and I've ordered a bunch to see what fits best, so stay tuned):
J.Crew Stripe Bandeau + String Bottom in Papaya, $68 + $42
J.Crew Graphic Dot Underwire Swing Top + Bikini Bottom in Sweet Lemon, $68 + $44
J.Crew Skirted Twist Bandeau Tank in Brilliant Flame, $118
Clean water Polka Dot One Piece Swim Dress from Target in Mazarine Blue, $39.99
Bathing Beauty One Piece in Cherry Pie from Modcloth, $89.99
Seafolly Boy Leg One Piece from Nordstrom, $154
