Trouble with swimsuits... story of my life
I'm having trouble picking out a new swimsuit...
The one I bought last year was bandeau style, which I eventually realized looked terrible on my big boobs and didn't offer them the support they needed.
Do you guys like one-pieces? I mean, I know they used to be "mom" bathing suits, but I've seen some really cute ones out recently. I think maybe they're called monokinis? I was thinking of something like this:

Problem is, I have a little tummy. I'm not overweight and 5'5" and 140 lbs., but I tend to gain weight in my stomach area. I want a one-piece to cover my stomach, but I'm worried that a monokini type one will just draw more attention to it. I don't like the ones that I've seen that have built in waist-cinchers though, they look so granny-ish.
Please help!

I think that one is really cute!! Not a "mom" suit at all!
I like one pieces that are really low plunge in the middle, but you said you have big tatas so that may not be an option for you.
I also like these ones:
Be weary of the suits that are cut out on the side tho. I don't even have a stomach, but it puts extra focus on back fat. I feel like a sausage in suits or stripper outfits like that.

i think thats really cute..i seen a super cute one like that in black from guess i think...im 5'6 and about 128 right now and i have a little tummy also..i've never worn one piece suits before but i think i would go with black to make the stomach look a little slimmer.

Thanks for the help girls! LR, I also loved that Juicy swimsuit, it was my firtst choice, but I kinda realized that skinnier people usually look better in metallics, since they tend to highlight rather than diminish. I wish i could find a monokini with metallic on the boobies and ass and black or something in the middle!

^^If I see anything like that, I'll post a link for you. These are some other really great swimwear sites:
A tad more expensive than other sites ($100-150 for a suit), but I'd rather spend a lot of money on one that I love and will get a lot of use out of rather than get a cheaper one I'm not entirely happy with.
Also, I think tunics or caftans are a really sexy way to cover up:

NP, I love Molly Brown! Their site is so clean and nice, I can't wait to go to their actual store someday!
And if any of you visit the Phx area, make sure you go to Triangles in Scottsdale. Hands down, the best swimwear boutique I've ever been in!

i never realised how nice some 1 piece ones could look, if only it was summer here, not sure what the tan lines would look like though

Well girls, if you're curious, here's the one I ended up getting:

I don't think the girl in the picture looks very good in it, cause I think she's too skinny, but I feel it out great and I'm so happy with it! I got it in the "grape" color.
