Swimsuits with Skirts

Since we have begun swimming on Saturdays again, I find myself in need of a swimsuit.  I actually have three:  (1) a suit with solid coverage, but at least a size too small, (2) an ugly suit with a skirt that my sister's friend passed on to her, and (3) another suit passed down from my sister's friend that shows altogether too much cleavage.

Today after work, I stopped at Catherine's and Fashion Bug hoping to find a suit that fit.  All they had were suits with skirts.  I hate swimsuits with skirts.

I do not understand why the fashion houses think plus size woman want skirts.  So it is a little extra fabric to cover our large thighs.  But it isn't as if you can hide the rest of your legs that are the size of tree trunks.  We don't fool anyone.

Clearly, they do not think plus size women swim.  I wore one to the pool and all it did was float up, expose the ugly nude netting underneath, and get in my way while I was actually trying to swim.  Swimsuits with skirts are simply not functional.

I don't think anyone thinks they make us look good.  They are like water muumuus.  Water body blankets.  Tents.

I will wait to buy a functional suit and continue to go to the pool and show just a lot too much cleavage.  It isn't like they will be watching me when there are college girls in suits all around them.  Of course, I will enjoy scenery like this when I go to watch swim lessons.
