I really get frustrated with finding a new suit...but, with all the use my suits get during a swim season, my favorites don't last long and I always need a new one for the the upcoming year (or so I tell myself.) Since I wear an insulin pump, I prefer a tankini...but it must cover the midsection. (One more perk for the tankini is the opportunity to buy the smallest size possible on the top--thanks to my non-existent bosoms, and then a MUCH larger size on the bottom, due to my old friend, Bubbleishess.
This year's hunt for a new suit has been particularly frustrating. I normally love Modbe's suits, and this year, they are HORRENDOUS! Could we have a little class, please? (Some of the styles are fine--if you have a larger chest than I, which isn't hard to do, they might be worth looking at!) I've also had good luck with Layer's swimsuits, but this year EVERY SUIT has the same style of bottoms (a style that I CANNOT STAND TO WEAR). So, thanks for the variety Layers. And Shade's suits were looking like the best option, but nothing really looked like something I would LOVE to wear. So...after a ridiculous amount of looking, I found the CUTEST website! Lime Ricki has the cutest, funnest swimsuits ever! If you don't believe me, check these babies out!
Does this not make you want to scrapbook? I love this suit...not sure if I would buy it for myself, I might be a little too old for it!
I did buy this suit. I LOVE the colors! Not sure how the neckline will look on me...we shall see!
This suit made me REALLY want to buy a one piece! Why could they not have made this one into a tankini? I absolutely love it. I am still contemplating emailing them and asking them to please, pretty please make it a tankini!
I found Lime Ricki from Jen Modest Fashion Magazine and they have a 10% discount offer if you type in jenswim09! AND, there were several really cute ones in the clearance section...
Hope your swimsuit hunt is quick and painless (if possible!) If you are still needing more options, I thought that hapari had some cute suits...Good luck!

I have the opposite problem that you do. Big bosom, little bottom. It's SO hard to find something that works! I just saw a billboard for Lime Ricki last night, and thought I'd check it out. So I'm happy to have your post as a reminder!!
Fortunately (?) my swimsuit that I bought three summers ago (and that I adore)is in tip-top nearly-new condition. Otherwise I might have to start the dreaded hunt again. Yuck. I bought it at DEO's, but they have changed their styles (and sizes) so much since then, so I don't know what the ones this season are like. I mean, they are CUTE, but how do they fit? Anyway, I plan to stay out of the water as much as possible in hopes of preserving my suit for another 50 years. Glad you found a fun one!
I love the top one. Actually they are all super cute (I just spent 20 minutes looking and it is so past my bedtime). hmmm...if only it were warm enough here to actually want to go swimming just for fun! :)
I am so excited to check it out. Thanks for sharing! All though my ghetto booty may be a little tougher for online shopping than your bubblicious.
And, the blue on brown is really hard to read... just a little complaint :-)
thanks for the tip. Unfortunately after your post the suits started flying off the racks like crazy. I liked one of the tankinis you posted a picture of, but by the time I decided to order it, it was only availabe in XL. BTW I love your ghetto bubble bum, Lena!
coming out of hiding here--- i stalked you from melody's blog. thanks for this post (though my husband is probably not so thrilled about it). I checked out lime ricki for myself and ordered a couple suits. I have a modbe suit that I like because of the way it fits, though I am not so crazy about the print. I feel like with lime ricki I can have my cake and eat it, too. and that means a lot to me. :)
