Great bathingsuits for women on mega sale at LE Canvas

[kamileer]

I paid full price for this exact suit last summer (actually TWICE, since I lost the first one) and I get loads of compliments. So much nicer than your typical 'mom suit'. Wanted to pass it along in case anyone needed one!

$12.99 for the tankini! The bottoms are even less.

[LMPC]

Just wanted to add that I have this tankini too -- and it's so cute! Not a mom suit at all!!

[ElspethCordelia]

I would buy it if I wasn't pregnant. It's super-cute!

[lil_acorn]

any FS codes?

[AbbysMom]

I saw some one retailmenot but they were for over $50. one was 30% off highest priced item and then FS over $50 but it expires tonight.

[nupe]

Kamileer:
What color did you get and love? I think I ordered a black polka dot one from canvas heritage. I don't remember seeing blue/yellow til today, but then I've looked at so many suits over the last month!

[zukeypur]

I almost ordered this one a while back, but went with a black bikini instead that I ended up returning.

I'm leaning towards the yellow.

[ohsara430]

I rarely if ever buy from LE, I found a few things I want including the swimsuit and could get free shipping, but one of the things I don't know if I'll like in person. If I return something to Sears will they then charge me for the shipping?

I return things to Sears all the time and I have never had them ask me to pay for shipping.

Ok, good to know, I think I'll go for it then - thanks!

[Twoboos]

Thanks OP, I just ordered a couple of different suits in different size/color combos. Hopefully SOMETHING will work, I hate bathing suit shopping!!

Some of the bikini pieces are dirt cheap, $5.99/$8.99 a piece!

$12.99 for the tankini! The bottoms are even less.

I completely agree. In general, I am not a fan of the Lands End look, but I recently bought some Lands End Canvas bathing suits, and I LOVE them. My Boden and Athleta ones do not hold a candle to these cute Heritage bathing suits. (I got the heritage stripes and dobts both the tankini and the bikini, on the off chance that I am ever willing to have others look at my disgusting elephant skin stomach :P )

My favorites, by far, are the Heritage suits. I bought about 20 from various styles, and for me, the Heritage ones fit the best. Love them!

ETA: I forgot to mention that my uber-hip friends who can still rock some adorable size 2 bikinis post 2-4 kids between them agree that the suits are very cute, and a lot better than we have been finding in the local bathing suit shops. That being said, they probably won't be able to copy me because I don't know that even the smallest Lands End Canvas size would fit them. Canvas runs large and makes me feel skinny :)

[alien_host]

So is the general consensus that Canvas does run big? I was surprised they have XXS as a starting point. I need to look at the the sizing chart more closely but would you guys say that the chart is accurate?

I suppose I could buy multiple sizes and return to Sears what doesn't work.

[Twoboos]

I suppose I could buy multiple sizes and return to Sears what doesn't work.

This is what I did. Bathing suits are so wonky anyway, I feel like I have to get multiple sizes to try.

[bnme]

I just bought some LE Canvas suits in a medium. I am 5'2 and about 150lbs. I usually wear an 8 or 10. I tried the surf shack tankini top, boy shorts, and fold-over boy shorts. I have the same size in regular LE suits, which I think are generously sized. These were more of a jr cut (less coverage) -lower cut top, lower waisted bottom. I kept the top and fold over bottom. Now I am waiting for the Aqua Terra line to go on sale. I tried it on a t Sears when I was there to do my returns and I loved it.
HTH

[alien_host]

Thanks for the sizing info!

Question about Ebates, I see they have separate buttons for LE (6%) and LE Canvas (2%), do I have to go thru LE Canvas or can I do LE (sort of like the ON/Gap trick)?

[SoloMelody]

I am a 32G and normally have trouble finding support and coverage in any swimsuit.

Will these fit a frame like mine? They dont seem to have a DD+ line...

I bought a suit last week and it will be going back. I'm a dd and did not have enough room in the cups for the girls.

[SoloMelody]

Thanks!

[*myfoursons]

Thanks, OP! Ordered a couple of different bikini tops and bottoms. Hopefully something will be a keeper :)

[Megano]

Thanks OP. None of my suits fit me anymore after stretching them during pregnancy (oops!). I went for the yellow and blue. Too cheap to pass up having a back-up!

[1964pandora]

Thanks! They don't have the striped bottoms in my size, only a solid bottom. Do you think it it ruin the look to have solid navy top and bottom?

[Mamma2004]

Thanks! They don't have the striped bottoms in my size, only a solid bottom. Do you think it it ruin the look to have solid navy top and bottom?

I actually ended up choosing the solids b/c I thought the stripes might accentuate my "assets" in an unflattering way. I hope it will look great!

[ett]

So do the halter tops (which is the majority of their swim tops) work for those that are flat chested? I tried one style in XXS and it was too big on me! The fabric was bunching up and it just didn't sit right on me.

Can you use more than one code?

[jvs195]

Can you use more than one code?

Nope. I've placed my order at Sears when I have a % or $ coupon that doesn't include FS. Load your cart and head over to use their kiosk for automatic free shipping and then enter your code.

Thank you! I just ordered some bikini bottoms (I have a ton of tops from previous years' sales :o).

[infocrazy]

Can you return Canvas items to any Sears or just the ones with Canvas departments?

[ett]

Can you return Canvas items to any Sears or just the ones with Canvas departments?

You can return to any Sears.

[MSWR0319]

Is it any Sears or any Sears with a Lands End in it? I was reading online and took it to mean there had to be a Lands End but not Lands End Canvas. I ordered a few things a week or two ago and waiting to return until I see if this stuff fits because the Sears near me doesn't have a Lands End so I thought I'd have to go to the one about an hour away.

[ang79]

Thank you OP! I was looking at the regular Lands End suits but the sale prices at Lands End Canvas are better. I've never purchased from them before so I just ordered a ton of suits in a variety of styles and sizes to try, hopefully one or two of them fit! I always dread swim suit shopping and we are going to a resort w/ indoor water park in 2 weeks and I need a suit that fits me right!

[KDsMommy]

Thanks! I ordered a navy tankini top, yellow stripe side tie bikini bottom, Heritage skirt in navy mini-dots, and a grey cover-up...all for $47.66 :bighand:

[KDsMommy]

Thanks for the sizing info!

Question about Ebates, I see they have separate buttons for LE (6%) and LE Canvas (2%), do I have to go thru LE Canvas or can I do LE (sort of like the ON/Gap trick)?

I used the LE (6%) button, now I'll have to wait to see if I actually get 6%.

When I did a live chat, they told me any Sears with a LE. I also have a return to do.

[cookiemonster80]

This is a super cute suit- but I'm always hesitant to buy something that ties around my neck- I'm not super large (c), but I always feel like I need to cinch the neck tie super tight to feel like I'm not hanging out- can anyone comment to this particular suit and this issue?

Believe me, I would LOVE to buy a swimsuit for this price if is works!

any sears. i returned to s non-LE sears a few weeks ago

LOL! Thanks, I can't imagine what I was thinking. There's no way I can wear horizontal stripes on my "assets." I'm glad I ordered the solid!

[MSWR0319]

Are there any % off codes good anymore? I couldn't find any when I searched, just free shipping. I knew I shouldn't have waited!

I am a C cup at this point and find that the suit provides very good coverage for the girls...I don't feel like I am hanging out at all or that there is any chance I might pop out.

[dec756]

not familar with LE sizing..
i am 5'2 and 115 lbs. i am a small B cup. what size would i be? thanks!

[LMPC]

I would say a small -- but you could always get an xs and a s and then return the one that fits you better.

[dec756]

what colors are everyone getting? i like the olive and the blue lagoon. cant decide for the 3rd suit....the orange, yellow, or pink. anyone have these colors??

[clb]

You should measure yourself and check the size chart. From your weight, my guess would be an XS but it is the measurement that counts. I wear a 6 or M in most brands but I need a S in LE/LE Canvas. The LE size chart is different.

For the color, I would choose the most flattering for your skin tone. Which color looks better on you? If you aren't sure, the pink is probably the easiest to wear.

[ChristinaLucia]

FWIW - I think it runs a little big. I always order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit right.

[nupe]

I'm guessing XS. I 'm a tad bigger than you overall, and S fits me pretty well.

[cookiemonster80]

thanks- I just bought it and we'll see- need another suit for our vaca in 6 weeks!

[alien_host]

FYI, I went thru Ebates via LE and did get 6% on my Canvas order (vs 2%)
. I just hope a suit works for me!

[viba424]

I stocked up on these suits a couple of weeks ago when they were an extra 30% off. I poured over the reviews and followed those recs and got lucky every piece worked. This is what I got:

Were the sale prices this low PLUS 30% off?

[viba424]

Yes. So each piece was like $6 something. Dont feel bad though. It is still currently a very good price.

[ang79]

I ordered some one-piece suits last week, but just noticed these high waist bikini bottoms that someone posted above: http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/EssentialsHighWaistSwimBottom~207085_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BLA&
CM_MERCH=IDX_LandsEndCanvas-_-LandsEndCanvas-_-Women-_-Sale-_-Swim&origin=index (http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/EssentialsHighWaistSwimBottom~207085_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BLA&CM_MERCH=IDX_LandsEndCanvas-_-LandsEndCanvas-_-Women-_-Sale-_-Swim&origin=index)

Thought with the free ship code maybe I should try these with a bikini top (thinking maybe they would help hide my flabby belly from having two kids), any thoughts on what bikini top would look cute with these bottoms? Or do you think the bottoms are funny with the high waist?

[PAfirsttimemom]

Yes. So each piece was like $6 something. Dont feel bad though. It is still currently a very good price.

Wow! Really great deal. I remember seeing that post. I hate when I hold off and miss the deal. You're right, though, that the prices are still great now. How do you like the fit of your pieces? I am thinking some of the bikini bottoms look like they won't provide enough coverage. Some in the description even say "minimal coverage." I prefer when the material doesn't ride up on the sides so your cheeks stick out or you get a wedgie, KWIM? :-)Would love to hear more about the fit. Thanks!

I bought the bikini bottom that was kind of in the middle as far as coverage goes..pretty sure it's this one..

I went to a water park in it for 2 days and not once did I get a weggie!

Good to know. Thanks. This is down to $6.99! I think I better place an order before these suits are all sold out.

[WolfpackMom]

Ive added one to my cart, but now am questioning sizes. Do these really run that big? By what people are saying upthread I would be in an xxs and that doesnt sound right as I am not 13 years old...

I don't think they run big and it is said that you should size up in a bathing suit. When I was more of a 6, the S 6-8 fit me fine and now I'm more of an 8, the M 10-12 fit me better. I'm short but curvy/hippy/four kids. I also wear the 8 in regular LE suits. At these prices, order two sizes and return!

Im going to size up in 2 one pieces and then do the recommended size in a tankini since reviews say they are bigger. Then Ill return whatever doesnt end up working.

[nupe]

Or do you think the bottoms are funny with the high waist?

It think the idea of these bottoms is genius, I ordered them and am looking forward to trying them on!

[viba424]

I bought the ones with the high waist and also the foldover waist. I really liked them both a lot. I think the high wasted ones are cool in person.

For me I got a medium (im a size 8) and they were true to size. Both of those were - no need to size up.

[alien_host]

My order arrived and I like the tankini and the bottoms. I'm 5 foot 1 and 105 lbs (on a good day) and small chested (34AA) and the XXS fit great on top and the bottom.

I might order a few other pieces to see if I like them. Thanks for posting about this OP!

Got my order yesterday and finally had time to try them on this morning, but not very excited about any of them. I got an XS in the tankini set that the OP linked to. I like the bottoms but I think the top is a bit too loose and seems to sag a bit in the bust, probably need an XS. I also got several one piece suits in sizes 0,2,4 and the ones size 4 is OK, but I feel like I have to keep tugging it up, like the halter tie loosens or something and I'm afraid of my barely there boobs slipping out the top :( I'm not tall or tall waisted either, always thought I was normal, so not sure why these seem so short. Also, the bottom of the one-piece suits do not flatter my bottom, its like its too snug and makes any extra flab squish out, gross description, I know!

Why is it so hard to find a decent swim suit?!

This is my problem with EVERY swim suit!!! And I'm not a big person, I just don't get it. I think my BMI is 19 but my rear is just not swim suit material I guess :) My second order came today to try on, hopefully one of the bottoms fits decently!!

[pomegranate]

My order arrived today. I got 5 swim separates, all Heritage, tankini, bikini top, hipster bottom and bikini bottoms. I normally wear a size 10 and I got mediums for all the swim and they all fit pretty good except for the hipster bottom. I also bought a pair of khakis, shorts and a light jacket. These fit terribly! So surprising b/c this is my second Heritage order and I liked all 5 items I got last time.

Thanks again, OP, for the tip on the swim separates. I'm happy with mine!

[kozachka]

I'll be returning all three items that I got from this sale. The top (http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/DoubleRingBikiniTop~208821_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::CHW&CM_MERCH=IDX_Women-_-Sale-_-Swim-_-Tops&origin=index) offers very little support and fits kind of funny, the bottom tie is too skinny. And the matching ring bikini bottom (http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/CabanaRingSwimBottom~208819_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::CHW&CM_MERCH=IDX_Women-_-Sale-_-Swim-_-Bottoms&origin=index)cuts too much into the flesh. Regular Cabana bikini bottom (http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/BikiniBottom~208827_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::HMF&CM_MERCH=IDX_Women-_-Sale-_-Swim-_-Bottoms&origin=index)is OK but of no use to me without a matching top.
