Dear Swimsuit Manufacturers.

Dear Sirs, (And I'm positive you are men, because women wouldn't choose to put other women through swimsuit hell),

Please take note:

1. If a woman has to buy a size 14 suit, chances are she is not happy about it in the first place. Chances are that she also has some back fat, thigh fat, and boob fat...in addition to the expected belly fat. Suits that have a back cut so low it shows her butt crack are NOT flattering. Neither are suits with leg-holes that go up higher than her (admittedly sagging) belly button. Your so-called-design decisions do not make the shopping experience any more pleasurable for her.

2. Just because a woman is not a size 2 (or 4 or 6 or even 8) does not mean she has size DD boobs. Dream on.

3. "Cover Up Skirts" that barely extend past her crotch are neither a "cover up" nor flattering. They call attention to the widest part of her thighs, and that will make her angry.

4. Now pay close attention, because this applies to women of all sizes: Polka dots are cute, but they should NEVER, EVER, be centered over a nipple area.


Thank you.
