@macaca When the QVC outlet was open in Lancaster, PA, bathing suits were there by the hundreds!

They couldn't give those things away even at $10 apiece!Smiley LOL

I would guess that QVC had such a high return percentage of suits that it's not worth it to sell them.  Personally, I can't imagine buying a bathing suit without trying it on first.  Maybe buying from a retailer that has free return shipping.

The Q used to sell a brand called "Swimsuits For All". I never bought one but GMADeals dot com has them for 60% off today. Many styles to choose from. Check it out. FREE SHIPPING.

Speaking of Lands End, who I know has a nice selection of suits...do you all size up one or two sizes? Find they run small? I tried LE suit only once and it was the usual size 6

I go to in my suits, one up from my pants size 4, and it was so tight I could hardly breathe. I've been afraid to order from them ever since. I can sometimes go to an 8 also, but other times it makes the bra size too big on me. 

 

Anyway, any advice on sizing LE...do you go up one or two? I know it really, really depends on your own body type, but just wondering. I've never ordered from them after that first try.

Since you like their suits, consider calling LE's Customer Service, tell them of your experience, and ask what they'd recommend.   

 

You can't be the first customer to have that experience.

@SilleeMee  In a way, they did.  For a couple of years Kim Gravel had a swimwear collaboration on QVC with Swimsuits For All (Kim Gravel x Swimsuits For All).  I just bought two pairs of the swim bottom briefs last month that were on Final Sale.  They were $13.99 each, and they fit perfectly.

 

She used to have some very nice swimsuits in that collaboration. There's nothing left now.

last year and this year I have bought Susan Graver suits on the Q on free shipping days and on sale for 20 dollars.  I am not her fan..but do love the fit of her suits.  2 piece tankinis..and bought them in my regular size 22.  I have recieved compliments on them.

They wear weill and are not skimpy material or in the bottoms..full cut and tops have fitted bras.  They fit me well..

Its odd I was just thining I haven;t seen swim suits this year..but don;t watch as often since prices are sky high for just a basic tee.
