   It’s a diabolical capitalist plot to further undermine the confidence of women! :-)

   As a woman in her fifties, I can tell you it’s not a diabolical plot. Swimsuit sizes reflect a woman’s ACTUAL dress/clothing size which was set since about the 1930’s or so. Sizes have been “decreasing” like crazy over the past 30+ years, since non-couture, affordable designer fashions came into vogue with things like Calvin Klein jeans, etc. The average woman now wears 2 (sometimes 3) sizes below what she would have worn in the 1950s and 1960s into roughly the mid-70s or so. Designers aren’t stupid; they know they have a better chance of getting you to buy if you fit into a smaller size. I’m a size 8 to 10 in dresses and pants now, but I know in a swimsuit I’ll need a 12 or 14. To put it into perspective, Marilyn Monroe, at her thinnest wore about a size 12 dress. I’ve learned to stop caring about the size and concentrate on the fit. No-one knows what size I buy except me (and maybe the salesperson at Victoria’s Secret…)

   I’m more miffed that they charge separately for swim suit tops and bottoms.

   That looks like an immature suit to me.

    Even though I wear a size 6, my 3 bathing suits have tags that claim differently . . . 2 say they’re a size 8 and the 3rd one says it’s an 11/12!

     

    Hi, rgcviper!

     

    saxie5: I think that’s ridiculous, too! But given that I don’t exactly have the toned body of a super-model, I feel uncomfortable in a 2-piece anyhow so my 3 swimsuits are all 1-piece. They still cost more money than they should have given what they’re made of and how little they cover when I’m wearing them, but they were still cheaper than spending $20, $30 or more EACH (depending on where you buy them) for both the tops AND the bottoms!!!!!

     

    Hello and Happy Tuesday, fellow “Cathy” clan. Hope your week is going well so far!
