I could barely get the goddamn thing over my hips at all, and when it was on I looked like a squashed sausage. It was insane. If I bother getting a replacement, I'll be going up to a 38 at least, maybe a 40.
Except now I'm gun shy and figure I should just get one locally after all, where I can try them on for real. But where does one do that? All the places I know are only selling the two-piece/halter-top/look-at-me-but-don't-get-me-wet kind. You know, the kind that falls right off when the terrified 6 year old grabs the shit out of you because he thought for a second he might sink after all.

Never really thought about it. They wear them ridiculously tight, sizes for competitive suits are consistent within brands, we know she's a 28 in a Finals Funkies, a Speedo and a Dolfin Uglie. TYR is different (and usually a nasty fit). We get through a lot of suits..... And we know the sizes because originally she tried them on....... when they start to get impossible, we move up.
her tech Suit is a 23, though
