The inexpensive plain black suit is acceptable. It's not fantastic and the material feels cheap, but it will do the job for awhile. The matching swim shorts are nice, despite having a tendency to balloon when I enter the water and make my backside look incredibly huge for a few seconds. (Thanks for pointing it out, mom!)

Lands' End is having a
really great sale on swimsuits, up to 70% off, so I decided to order one.
I used their size chart, which is nutty because it puts me in 3 different sizes for hips, waist and bust. I split the difference between hips and bust. When the suit arrived, it was loose on top and bunchy everywhere else.
I realized I had used my measurements from a few months ago. I've lost weight since then, but forgot to remeasure. Duh.

I did a return/reorder and got the next size down, which arrived today. The waist is perfect, the bust is a smidgen tight but in a "wow cleavage" way. The rear is still not quite right. It seems mostly due to the leg openings being on the small side. If I tug them down, they make a divot in my leg. If I pull them up, there is extra fabric in the seat. I almost miss the high leg holes that were popular the 90s. Almost. I'd rather have my ass covered.
I decided to just live with it. I imagine the leg holes will loosen up once I wear it. I think it is as good as it gets for a one-piece swimsuit when none of your parts are the same size.
