I just voted "no" to Land's End because to my eyes (definitely California girl here) they look more "mom-ish" than I want to sport. I can picture my own mom wearing most of the suits, and that isn't what I want for myself.
That said, I got some really cute bathing suits (mostly bikinis) from Land's End Canvas, and I get compliments on them all the time. They are classic and well-made, and even my bathing suit snob friends give them a thumbs up

I voted yes because as a petite gal with DD boobs, there aren't a lot of options for coverage and support. I have 2 tankinis from them that I think fit great and look great and I get compliments from my other mid-30's mom friends.

They have good support and coverage and GREAT prices on overstocks. And you don't have to try them on in a store! Buy online, returns to Sears.
But I don't love the look and I think they feel heavy. Definitely not my favorite.DD - 8

Yes to this. I need a supportive top! I would wear more trendy styles if I had a more trendy body. I just don't. The string bikini isn't going to look good on me to anyone but DH!

They definitely seem to have the "mom" market cornered, which is partly why I refuse to wear them! But I don't have big boobs to contend with.
I have tried them out and they felt heavy and huge to me. DH's said he!! no when I modeled a couple of LE suits.
I do like the looks of the LE Canvas suits. Maybe I will give those a try.Last edited by arivecchi; 08-03-2011 at 02:08 PM. Reason: spelling

It's sooo hard finding suits for bigger boobs.
I know they aren't the cutest, and pre-kids (read: nursing. Twins.) I would not have considered them. I did buy Athleta bottoms, but there are zero Athleta tops that would fit me.

I like them because there are a lot of different combinations and they are well-made. Also, they cover my a$$ well.
I do not like the Beach Living ones as well as the AquaTerra line, but I lean towards "sporty" and functional in my swimsuit choices. Even at my slimmest, my body just doesn't work with anything skimpy (i.e. - string bikini) or fashion-forward.==========================================

I love 'em.
But then, I totally need something to cover up my big 'ole thighs.

yes, they are made to flatter! If I had a perfect body, I would go for Athleta or something else, but LE works well to disguise some of my flaws.
