Sweet new swimwear confections for all us oddbodies

Here's my dilemma when shopping for bikini swimwear-- most suits that are large enough for me on the bottom are way too big on the top, so I always end up having to take in the top or buy separates. These bikinis are exactly what a gal like me needs! Sized a little bit smaller on the top to fit those of us who have curvy hips but don't have the D cups to match. The first is the Nautical Sailor Girl Bikini Swimsuit with Red Top and it is available in a Large top and XL bottoms. The second is a darling Royal Blue Polka Dot Bikini that's sized M/L on top and XL on the bottom. Click the pics for more info.
