More budget swimsuits
Here's another source for relatively cheap swimsuits, Charlotte Russe. At these prices, I would not expect one of their suits to last more than a season, but they are cute and stylish. Not great selection, however. A geoprint bandeau top is $17, with matching bikini bottoms also $17. A solid black halter top is $17. Matching bottoms with a small squiggly pattern on the back are $17.

Julia,
Any info you have to share on where to find stylish, cute bikinis that FIT, would be great! I am 38 (so cute is okay but cutesy is not... and I don't even go near thongs!) and a 36C. I need to have underwire fitting and bra-sizing. I just tried VS this weekend and although the cup was a decent size, there was still not enough coverage! I barely moved in the dressing room, and knew I would have trouble if I tried to go out in public - would always be adjusting! I don't have an arm & a leg to spend, so I am looking and looking and looking! Thanks!

Lisa,
I will keep you in mind when I search for bikinis! I know Land's End has swim suits that offer a bit more "coverage" and I always like to try Macy's because they have a wide range from grandma suits to thongs. Julia
