I don't understand how you can buy swim wear from TV. How do you know how you will look in this swim wear? How do you know if it will fit you? I would want to try on my swim wear before I bought it. Even though they give you measurements, this could be deceiving.

I would have difficulty buying swimwear and jeans from a shopping channel, and getting it right on the first time.

I'm just the opposite.  I won't try on a swimsuit in a store and you don't know how many others have tried it on either.  I take them home and try on and then I'd have to make another trip to return it if it didn't fit.  I can order and if it doesn't fit, I just put the return sticker on and leave for the mailman to take.   Even if I had to pay return postage still easier and worth it to me.  I usually have good luck ordering swimsuits online and have ordered many and never had to return even one.

Just my 2 cents, but I've bought suits online several times and been satisfied.

 

I think the TSV is cute.  Looks easy to wear and no bikini wax necessary (thank god).  Covers much of the delicate chest area, too, so susceptible to sun damage.

I think it's cute. I have a few of Susan Graver's tiered tops and they are very flattering on me. But, I have to think it will get awfully heavy when wet. Would be interested to hear from those who have last year's swim romper.

I never buy from a store.  I purchase from catalogs and rarely had to return it.

I order swimsuits from catelogs all the time.  I've been swimsuit shopping recently for an upcoming cruise and I've ordered a couple of suits.

 

I know I"m not going to like myself in any swimsuit but I've also been buying swimsuits long enough to know what styles work for me and what doesn't. 

 

I have a much easier time buying swimsuits on-line than any type of pants.

This swimsuit doesn't appeal to me for several reasons one being that super high neck.

 

But I will say, in looking for suits, these tiered ones are everywhere and like you, I was wondering what it would be like wet.  I was going to order one just for lounging by the pool or wearing with a very casual skirt at our boat.  That type of top would be cute. 

 

I don't think I'd want a tiered suit for actually swimming or jet skiing, etc.

I am size 38DD and I have been ordering Fit 4 U D/E cup swimsuits for years. They are made very well, they fit very well. I have found they are the only suits with enough support for big busted women. I have also ordered them thru Ebay, there are currently over 600 Fit 4 U swimsuits on Ebay, new and anywhere from $10 - $25 for the tops
