BOTH suits (the one in the original post and the one down-thread) are super cute and VERY flattering! Thanks for the feedback, glad I pulled the trigger!!

In the blue (good color on me)
I am 5'9", average/medium build, 36C bra size. Too much sagging skin to rock my Venus bikinis anymore :(
I have the mini swim mini from last year and it is actually flattering
TIA

I actually like it a lot, and I'm not typically a fan of LE. The print is really fun and I like the color (esp. if blue is a great color for you).

I like the paisley top. And I think that cut will be flattering for a 36C. (But I am just not into those swim skirts for myself though.)

I like it...that's my favorite style top - very flattering, I think. The print is cute too. I prefer the other 2 color options but blue isn't my color. Since blue is your color, I'd get it.

I like the style of the top, and think the print is pretty. I'm not a fan of swim skirts for myself (I have really short legs), but would consider mixing and matching the top with other bottoms...

in the matching blue color, of course.

I will be ordering the blue #2 leg bikini bottoms, but they are on backorder in my size until March 20. They won't get here in time for me to take with me on vacation. They are in my cart to order later though. I also have plain black bottoms that I can wear in the interim.

I love it!! Blue it totally my color and it looks awesome. I have a swim mini (but the longer length one, not the mini mini) in blue and pink and 2 tops to go with. That top is awesome!!

I think it's cute.
I often find myself sitting down playing with the kids at the beach, or toddler pool and I really like those short swim skirts for that.

I ordered it too. I think last year when you asked about a suit I got the same one too. Did you get a turquoise halter with leaves and and the mini? My skirt faded, but it's okay enough to wear as a backup. I love it, though!

I like it. I think the patterned top and solid bottom would be good for a pear shape. I'd love to get a swimsuit with a tank top and boy cut shorts. That would give me more coverage than a regular swimsuit. I should've snatched the LE canvas one up that I liked.

I also ordered the Beach Living Bandeau Tankini in the Pink Paisley with brown bikini bottoms. http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingPaisleyBandeauTunicSwimsuitTop~216187_5 9.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::JN4&CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000002700&origin=index

Cute! Wish I could do a Bandeau top. I have arm flab and I'd be too afraid it would fall down!

I was planning on wearing it with the straps, but with the tunic part scrunched up.

I have one of their bandeau tops and love it! It's so flattering and a little sexier (imo) than a standard tankini. So cute.
This year I'm thinking of doing the cute polka dot bikini with the little skirted bottom....we'll see.

Cute! I don't have the nerve to wear the bandeau either. You must have nice shoulders :)
I ended up really liking this halter in black/white (http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingGeoPrintVneckTankiniSwimsuitTop~216180_ 59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BWH&CM_MERCH=IDX_00006__0000000645) with the black swim mini (the one with the slit.) The solid black one also came home with me, but I may save the "all black" suit for a TYR that I can actually do laps in.
