Can anyone recommend a good place for a plus-size woman to buy a non-embarrassing bathing suit? I haven't owned a bathing suit in 15 years.
I would be there right now.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Mine was in the car after I had to take it out of my wallet to give it to the nice Marine when I accidentally drove onto one of the back entrances to the Marine Base in Point Loma.

My current suit is Lane Bryant. [link] The one before that was Roaman's. [link] Torrid had SUCH a cute suit that I would have bought if I hadn't bought the one from LB the month before. If you're looking for less skimpy or more sturdy, Junonia has athletic-type suits [link]
Edit: Looks like Torrid's pretty well out of stock, but LB and Roamans are both doing swimwear sales.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I got mine from Land's End. It's the suit I'm wearing in this picture, if you want an idea of coverage: [link]
This is the suit at Land's End: [link]

What Epic said! I'd also add Onestopplus.com, which is my go-to for all of my online clothes. This is my current suit, which does suck in the stomach a bit more than I'm used to.
Also, Just My Size has some great suits.

Thrive to spite them
I got a 2 piece thing at Target. A swim skirt and a tank top deal. They didn't have swim shorts when I was there. I just wanted something for around the beach and not for swimming.

Speaking of plus size. Anyone have recommendations for reasonably priced wide calf boots. Wide calf, but not wide width.

askye, I haven't bought anything from them, but Wide Widths seems to specialize in wide calf boots, and they carry from medium width to double-wide width in the feet.

Oh yeah, OneStopPlus draws from everybody at once, they're good.
Askye, I'm pretty sure I got my wide-calf boots from Roamans as well.
