  2 0 I've looked and haven't found anything in Seattle. Popina Swimwear in Portland has a few retro styles, but that's the closest place I've found. The internet may be your best bet. e.strange answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by Penny Lane and e.strange… 0 0 That's a great suggestion, but I struggle to find time to go to Safeway, so Portland is a wee bit not going to happen. Sadly. That place does look awesome - one more reason to plan a road trip. Penny Lane commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I just found a place in Seattle - Heidi Fish Swimwear in West Seattle. I haven't been there so I don't know what they have, but the website makes it seem like they have some retro styles. http://www.heidifish.com/default.asp?catalog=5 e.strange commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 0 Online, you should check out Modcloth , they've always got a variety of retro swimsuits for women and many of them come in plus sizes. Free returns. Thrillho answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Luckier… 0 0 Modcloth has an adorable one-piece polka dot suit right now that comes in regular and plus for just $89. If I were you (Penny Lane), I would check their return policy, buy a 12 and a 14 with rush shipment, and return the one that doesn't fit.

  0 0 I don't know about retro, but Sylvia's Swimwear (http://www.goswim.com/seattle_retail.aspx) has a wide selection of suits, might be worth a try! They also have a wide variety of sizes, so you should have luck with it fitting if you find what you like. nseattlite answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by nseattlite… 0 0 This is pretty plain, but somewhat "retro" http://goswim.com/detail.aspx?ID=1046 nseattlite commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 So this wouldn't be ready for next week, but good to know about for next time. This woman in west seattle custome makes swimsuits for not that much more than nice quality suits cost off the rack, in my opinion. Plus you'd get to pick the fabric, color, style and be sure that it's something that fits you. My best friend (size 12-14) had one made that she loves. I plan to get one there soon... http://www.heidifish.com/ T answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Again with online only (as far as I know) but Esther Williams line of swimsuits is adorable! HUGE pattern selection and different styles that can be custom made with your fabric of choice. Plus sizes up to 16 are standard. I love the "sheath" style so much! http://www.esther-williams.com/swimwear.htm Edit: It looks like shipping takes too long, waaay too long for custom orders, BOO. But a great idea for the future Kayla answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 7 Just what do you call retro? Are we talking turn of the 19th century, full length men's tights here? Or is it early 1970s Speedos nylon form fitting (and revealing) underwear briefs? I have made a pair of nylon swim trunks based upon the pattern of a worn out pair of speedos. With a little elastic for the waistline and perhaps around the leg openings, you can easily whip up a pair that will make you the most popular guy at the beach.... (I have NEVER been able to understand why the midi-length men's swimsuit with multiple pockets ever caught on. It would seem the mid-leg length shorts would be so waterlogged, and non-form fitting, that it would signify a basic fear of revealing one's genitalia or being spotted as a male!)
