Well, GraytonBound, I don't know what REI is, but I have seen Nike Sport Suits. I know you may think this is funny, but if you have time, I order my bathing suits from Newport News women's clothing on their website. You can mix and match separates by size there. And alot of times they have suits on clearance but they also have some more expensive ones. They have what they call a swim shop on their website and have some nice looking swimwear. Here is one of the one piece suits I think is cute but could never wear. And here is the link to their website:

Thanks, I'll check Newport & see. REI has this, it's the style I'm looking for:

That's cute, but I sure don't have the figure to wear that. :blush: They have a build your own bikini section also. They may have something similar on there, if it doesn't have to say Nike. They have many styles of bathing suits. The women at work laugh at me on a yearly basis as I have ordered so many bathing suits from Newport News over the past 6 years. I must have 15 from them.

Yeah, Newport-News doesn't have any tops like the type she is searching for, and I didn't see any bottoms similar to that either. I thought for sure with all the bathing suits they sell they might have something that looked close to what she liked. Apparently not! Sorry graytonbound. :idontno:

Actually I found something on Newport :clap:

But I'm loving the Title 9 & Athleta sites, thanks!

what's your experience on shipping? If I order today regular shipping will I have it by the end of the week? (Athleta & Newport News)

Why bother with the top?




Do you really think that is attractive? You need to visit that prom dress thread from a few days ago.

It's been two years since I've ordered anything from Athleta (I like their running clothes), so I don't remember. Sorry. Why don't you call them and ask?

RO is like most husbands, they love those bathing suits on other women, but he would sh$t a brick if you decided to walk down the beach in that suit. :lol:

I'm glad you found something. I think you will. Occasionally when I have ordered and a item is on backorder it will say something about the expected ship date being this date or that, otherwise I usually have it in about a week. And as for the bathing suit your husband likes, you stated why bother with the top, you might as well not bother with the bottom either. :lol:
