Once upon a time, I looked good in bikini. Didn't really know or appreciate it at the time.
Now I'm plus-sized. And soon I'm going to have to prance around on a beach chasing and splashing with DCs in public, in front of PIL. (And possibly breastfeeding).
So I've hit on a combo that covers the tum, bum and thighs (yay!), not to mention the chunky, varicose-veined legs. I think it looks more or less like normal beach clothes that I just happened to take a dip in.
Swim dress. Halter neck - I'd have gone for a more supportive style, but this had less foam than other styles, and easier to access for breastfeeding. They didn't have my size so I chose a size larger and it fits perfectly - either I've grown or it's sized small. To my surprise, it's a decent length - about 3" above knee. I don't think it's too Granny or Desperate Housewives. Is it?
Supportive bikini top underneath (two shoulder straps) - for support and because I like to do double-layer everything for BF. Any other bikini top would have done. I thought it would look trashy having two layers of top but actually it creates the illusion that am wearing a boho beach dress over a bikini, rather than just a swimdress.
Swim leggings for my chunky, varicose-veined legs - I chose the full-length ones, which to my surprise were a bit long and had to be rolled up to eliminate bagginess
What do you think - will it pass? Or will I be a freak? Do people do this all the time and nobody notices because it looks like normal clothing? Would you wear this?
