| - My bikini didn't fit anymore...I'd brought it anyway but then realized that I should really just give in and replace it. So you'd think in a city as hot as Scottsdale they'd have bathing suits year round in some of the local department stores...nope! We tried Walmart, Target, and a few others.
I found either the swim suits were on clearance in random sizes, or their sizing was based on S, M, L, XL, etc. Sadly when you're my shape/size you need straps for a size M with a cup for XL that actually does more than cover the bare minimum...because you tend to fall out of them... It can be actually quite annoying.
Then I made an alternate suggestion I hadn't been sure about at first...based on a map that my mother had acquired last February I suggested, at the point of almost giving up altogether, that we try the place advertised on the bottom left of the map - a bikini shop called Triangles.
Now, for anyone who's gone bikini shopping, it's not normally something you do with the entire family...or even half of it...we ended up going into the shop not just mom and I (for advice), but my boyfriend, and my father as well! Talk about awkward...anyway the lady in the shop was amazing! She immediately started talking chest diameter and cup size before I even asked and I was immediately sold...at that point I didn't care about pricetags I just knew I had found someone who knew their shit when it came to bikinis fitting properly!
I tried on a few styles, trying to rush because my dad was grumpy and wanted to get back to the hotel, and we still had to stop in Old Town...settled on a lovely turquoise set, and then popped back out of the changing room. While i'd been changing she mentioned that she would check the sale rack as well for my size and see what she would come up with. Lo and behold she found the same style I'd settled on, also in turquoise but more to the green side of the colour than the blue of the original, and it fit just as beautifully.
The next afternoon I got a chance to try it on, after golf and before dinner, at the hotel pool. Amazing! I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase, the service, and the price. It fit just right and if i want to match up the bikini with a shortset I will definitely go back next time I'm in Scottsdale! I would give that little shop my business again for sure!
