The last suit I bought was off-season so I ended up dropping a small fortune at one of those swimsuit stores at the mall. (water, water everywhere) It was totally worth the price. I'm sure the fact that it was winter helped, but I was able to get totally personal help. The lady asked what kind of suit I was looking for, got a feel for the styles I liked, pulled a couple of suits for me to start with, then checked each one, brought more sizes/styles, and gave great advice.<br><br>
It still meant examining all the things I don't like about my body but in the end I got a suit that presented everything in the best possible light.
