Need advice on Land’s End clothing
October 17th, 2008
Does anyone watch Project Runway? Well, don’t read on if you don’t want to know who won … but I can’t believe Leann won. I really loved Corto’s collection. I would wear every single one of her outfits, if I had somewhere to wear them. But of course the judges chose a more “high fashion” look, inspired by waves, that noone would ever wear in real life. Sometimes I just don’t get fashion. I know it’s art, but we still have to wear it right?
Speaking of wearing things, I missed the season-end sales on swimsuits. And I really need a new one. Mine all have gotten really thin and are just worn out. And there are a couple of occassions where I’ll need one this winter. And I remember Antique Mommy onced did a review of a Land’s End bathing suit and she loved it. She said it’s totally worth spending more and getting a better suit.
So, I have two tops and one bottom picked out. I’m a little scared. I tried on dozens of suits at the beginning of the summer and never found one I liked, so what’s the chances of the ones I order fitting me perfectly? Oh well, I can always send them back, and besides, what’s my other option? I don’t think any stores are carrying them right now.
So, anyway, have any of you ever ordered from Land’s End? What about their swimsuits? Do you know if their sizes tend to be big, small or just about on point?
Here are the suits I like:
I normally go with a navy or brown, something subdued, but I’m thinking color this year. If nothing else, it may distract people from looking at my cellulite. I like this top a lot. I wish they had the skirt in my size too, but they don’t.
I love the red and orange together. So, I thought I would get these two peices also, so I would have two tops and one bottom. This one’s a little more sporty, which is good, since I’m mostly going to be in it at the YMCA with Ella or at a waterpark, not sipping margaritas on a beach somewhere. Sigh.
And here’s the back. Kinda different. I like it.

I ordered the red “chain link” one at the top and it fit exactly according to their size charts. It’s great for hanging out around the pool or walking around a water park (because I don’t feel so “exposed”) but I didn’t like it quite so much for actually swimming because the skirt holds water. The other thing is you can’t slip shorts over the bottoms. I’m going to try their swimming shorts this coming year. And yes, it was totally worth the money that I even bought a second suit – in brown.
I love the racer-back look so I would go with the second one, although I have no idea how Land’s End fits, so I’m no help there!
I totally agree with you on Project Runway. Love that show!! I thought Corto’s fashion show was great. She should have won.
I think Jama has that first one…maybe shoot her email for some size help…I do love that racerback also!
I only buy swimsuits from Land’s End. I have been buying from them for the last ten years. They are awesome! You will like anything you get from there and it will last. If I am concerned about the size, I buy two of the same suit in two sizes and then send the one back that doesn’t fit. You can also return them to Sears if you have one near by and avoid the return shipping cost.
