I'll go first:

1. How often do you do you go to the beach?
few times a year

2. How often do you wear swimsuits?
summer and occasional tiems sduring off season when we travel

3. How many swimsuits do you own?
too many that I don't wear

4. Where did you purchase your bathing suit and for how much?
any place I could find one that fit
most recently at Water, Water Everywhere and spent too much on two new ones

5. What brand is it?
I'm recalling Cole and Lauren

6. How satisfied are you with the ones you own? If not satisfied, why not?
I like two that are tankinis. They are a littlemore youthful than the others. One is black with white trim and I like the white trim because it shows off a tan. IT also has great boob support.

7. Do you prefer 1 piece or 2 pieces? Why?
two, but never showing tummy
one pieces aren't long enough for me and cut my shoulders

8. How much are you willing to spend on swimsuits?
depends on my mood

9. How concerned are you about getting tan lines?
not much

10.What fabric do you prefer in swimsuits and why? (cotton, spandex, nylon, etc)
spandex because it has better support

11.What color/pattern swimsuits do you prefer?
solid with a bit of white thrown in

12.How often do you shop online?
not much

1. How often do you do you go to the beach?
4-8 times a year

2. How often do you wear swimsuits?
Maybe 10-20 times a year

3. How many swimsuits do you own?
Four, but I don't know if any of them still fit!

4. Where did you purchase your bathing suit and for how much?
Don't remember. Usually get them at a department store and spend no more than $60 each.

5. What brand is it?
Couldn't tell you.

6. How satisfy are you with the one you own? If not satisfy, why not?
The suits are all fine, it's my body that's not. I'd wear one a lot more often but I'm afraid to be seen in it.

7. Do you prefer 1 piece or 2 pieces? Why?
I like both, but right now I only have one-pieces to hold me in everywhere.

8. How much are you willing to spend on swimsuits?
I'd probably go as high as $75, but it better look great, not fade, and be well made. Is that asking too much?

9. How concerned are you about getting tan lines?
No tan lines in the strap/back area would be great. Leg areas aren't an issue for tan lines.

10.What fabric do you prefer in swimsuits and why? (cotton, spandex, nylon, etc)
Whatever holds me in, looks good, doesn't fade, washes well.

11.What color/pattern swimsuits do you prefer?
I like the shirred sides because it seems to be slimming. I also prefer a scoop neck, but so many suits have a v-neck. I have a long torso, so the v-neck makes it look longer. Colors - find something slimming that's NOT black!

12.How often do you shop online?
Constantly, but would not buy a suit online. When I buy a swimsuit, I probably try on about 30 before I buy one!

PS: Can I get a matching wrap included? I don't want to spend another $40 for a guazy piece of material that matches; include it in the price.

1. How often do you do you go to the beach?
hardly ever - maybe once every 8 years

2. How often do you wear swimsuits?
haven't been in one for 25 + years

3. How many swimsuits do you own?
one

4. Where did you purchase your bathing suit and for how much?
omg, that's like asking do I remember being born

5. What brand is it?
It is a swimsuit made by a dance wear label... they may not even carry a swimsuit line anymore... I can't remember the brand name, but if I saw it in print, I'd know it

6. How satisfy are you with the one you own? If not satisfy, why not?
Very... but it probably wouldn't fit the way it use to... my body parts have shifted

7. Do you prefer 1 piece or 2 pieces? Why?
definitely a one piece, because I am modest

8. How much are you willing to spend on swimsuits?
For quality, up to $75... if I ever decided I needed one again

9. How concerned are you about getting tan lines?
Tan lines are one thing I don't care for. For me personally, it would be a major consideration.

10.What fabric do you prefer in swimsuits and why? (cotton, spandex, nylon, etc)
Heavy spandex, something that conforms, firms, but doesn't reveal detail features of a woman's body - I think you know what I'm talking about. Cotton crotch is a must.

11.What color/pattern swimsuits do you prefer?
Solid color, maybe with accents. nothing busy... color choice would depend on the degree of a tan and skin tone

12.How often do you shop online?
Rarely, except for books

SWIM SUIT SURVEY

1. How often do you do you go to the beach? Well, we live near beaches and I cycle/walk by them several times a month. We live in Vancouver, BC. It isn't always warm year-round. But to go to the beach to expressly lie out in the sun or go into water, hummmmmmm....maybe less than once a year.

2. How often do you wear swimsuits? Varies. Some years, several times. Other years, none. I can't swim. So wearing a swimsuit is to go into hot tub.

3. How many swimsuits do you own? 3. 1-1 piece, 2- 2-pieces (which I haven't worn for over a decade. )

4. Where did you purchase your bathing suit and for how much? At a swimsuitwear shop. I guess it must have been under $40.00CAN. Why should I spend more, if I don't swim?

5. What brand is it? I dunno.

6. How satisfy are you with the one you own? If not satisfy, why not? I'm fine with it. Does the job for me.

7. Do you prefer 1 piece or 2 pieces? Why? Right now 1 piece. I don't have to worry whether I wear it before or after supper.

8. How much are you willing to spend on swimsuits? Under $50.00CAN

9. How concerned are you about getting tan lines? Sorry, I dont' lie out in the sun anymore. I don't need to when I get so much sun exposure while cycling. Preservation of soft skin is important to me....for past decade or so.

10.What fabric do you prefer in swimsuits and why? (cotton, spandex, nylon, etc) Spandex --durable, will stretch in places where it's necessary.

11.What color/pattern swimsuits do you prefer? Bright colours look very good on me. Bold beautiful prints, not too large florals because I am petite in build.

12.How often do you shop online?


I don't. I need to try on clothing in person ...and especially a swimsuit!
