Looking for quality swimwear

I've been looking for a good bikini. Many designers seem to have great textures but the suits look painted on, have little detail work and the straps are totally wonky. Templates mostly. Anyone know of some really good quality swimwear designers out there?

the boingo bikinis are pretty good... search places for boingo.

Pixeldolls just released some new bikinis.

I have no tips for you... but when you find them please come back here and post pics

with pointers to where you found what please... wife made me build pool in our garden...

This. If you join their group, you get a bunch as freebies. Also, a long time ago, I bought a huge bikini fatpack from a place called Rock Candy, I don't know if they are still around. Also check out Rha!

Water babies has some nice ones. Haven't been there in ages though,so no idea if they are still there.

Armidi is a fav of mine. I also have an older bikini from Last Call that I still probably wear more than any other. But yeah, Armidi has been my fav most recently

So many of the bikinis seem to come with thong bottoms - I appreciate the shops that include a fuller bottom, or "boy short" style bottom as options.

I have a Sweetheart Bikini from Poppy that I got in 2007 that is still my favorite! Also have some older suits from SWA (Second Wave Apparel) that I like too.

This thread is useless without pictures!

Pep (Even vanity ones. )

Awesome, thanks! I'm going shopping. If I find a great bikini I'll post a pic later. In the meantime I agree with the Pep man - post pics in your favorite bikini and say where you got it.

Ok - here's a pic of the Poppy Sweetheart bikini I love so much! By Francesca Poppy of Poppy Designs of Venice Beach. My favorite bikini after two years of wearing it! Bikini top and modest yet cute "boy shorts."

Pep (Happy to help)

PS Nice bikini, shame about the ankles. See /327/be/332309/1.html#post2511701 ?

Nicky Ree has some nicely finished swimwear.
.

Princess Ivory - nice demur look. The suit has excellent texturing and looks to be well cut around the legs and straps - good design.

Bare Rose, Swim, LeLutka.

What type do you want exactly? Bikinis, but with prim attachments? And what 'style' - pretty, sporty, sexy?

Personally I am not a fan of the huge bikini... but to each their own, I suppose

Not sporty, not cutesy, I guess sexy but not sleazy

I don't care if there are prim attachments or not, I'm mostly looking for quality. They help sometimes, but don't in themselves make a bikini quality.

Dang, I keep crashing. This is not helping the shopping!

Well I liked Bare Rose's Aloha bikini and it comes with a few colors. It had prim attachments.

Chaospire has a few rather... spectacular ones.

Oh you added this. Okay, good.

Then try LeLutka and - this would be a lot easier if I were logged on. Lol.

Attitudes has some nice one pieces on the second floor. And I love their reasonably priced lingerie. Can't say much for their kinis, though.

Hmmm....my ankles don't usually look like that. I wonder if it is the heels I am wearing, or the pose I am in, contributing to that effect? Oh well, I'm not going to worry too much about my ankles!

Thanks for reposting the pic, Pep, I couldn't remember how to do it. (How DID you do it?)

Oh yes! I have "Naiad" in two colors. And it comes in a sheer version too, so you can wear it as lingerie.

A couple of cute suits at Boom -options for thong or a more covered bottom and prim bows on the hips (I love that). Also a sheer cover-up that looks nice available there too.
