No surprise

My own personal hell: shopping for an affordable non-sucky bathing suit. That will fit me now.

Followup:
Mom suggests that I find a pair of lycra exercise shorts or something of the sort- which seems rather brilliant. I'd like something bigger than underwear for the bottom half of my suit for now, thanks. Also, something likely to be found for less than 40 bucks. Hey, let's try for 20. My suit tops still fit, so mix and match is a thing of goodness. I may also have better luck with variety in May. Maybe.

The antithesis of personal hell is when Mom proactively sends me grown-up clothes that fit. I now have a pair of black pants, 2 buttoned shirts and a pair of tanktops, all the tops being of correct (extra long) length.

ahf 's contribution to the humor/Tshirt collection (No Touching and Alien Inside)- turns out once on, it does seem long enough and not so horribly boxy. Win!

with the added bonus of knowing you will never wear it again after 6 months

Exactly.

I'm guessing it falls into the "underwear" category of clothing that can't be donated, right? Because I bet there's someone out there who would love a maternity suit.

(I did recently find out that bras are okay, but...)

It does cause me to have squicky thoughts, used bathing suits. :P

That will work for a little while, and I was wearing lycra leggings under skirts and stuff until a few weeks ago, at which point the waistband became unbearably tight. But you're smaller than me to begin with, so maybe it'll work for you for longer.

I was thinking of getting some for the fetally-enabled.

most of my bathing suits are two piece, with tops being tank tops and bottoms being boy shorts or briefs. incredibly versatile. this time of year you might find bottoms at target (at least down here all the suits are out), otherwise i tend to order from lands end clearance.

Men's swim trunks might also work for you, and they come in fun patterns and colors.

[mizarchivist]

I like how you think, madame.

[supercheesegirl.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! Plus men's trunks are usually cheaper than women's stuff.

Mom FTW

and I second the idea of men's swim trunks.

It appeals to me on several levels.
