It's super-cute! (And my dd loves the swimsuit on the home page...wish we'd seen it before we bought her new one last week...)

I know everyone will happy to know I solved my swimsuit dilemma

I would up buying this Shapewear Swim Skirt from Lands End. The skirt is 15.5 inches long, and since I am short, it comes to just a couple of inches above my knees. I waited for a 25% off sale and got free shipping. I think it does a nice cover up job.

But, I have to tell you, it ought to be called Squeeze Wear because it is supposed to "shape" (ie, make you look skinnier), and it does hold you all in.

I bought two tops from Overstocks for about $6.99 each, and then a rash guard top to wear over it all. Looks pretty good- pretty normal and like I will blend in at the pool but still be covered up. I took to heart the advice someone wrote in the dresses only thread about how a woman wearing a well-fitting, modest suit at the pool will draw very little attention to herself.

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions!

For the pregnant ladies, I wanted to share. I just purchased this swimsuit off of ebay. The seller is from Korea, but offers free shipping. I have not gotten it yet, but it looks very modest and easy to wear. I like that it is two piece so I can still nurse Greta-boo. I also think it would look great with some black yoga capris underneath for running around poolside. I'll update when I receive it.
