My Quest for a Bathing Suit

Recently, I told a friend that I was going to start investigating one-piece bathing suits. Without missing a beat, she said: "I need to start investigating caftans." Funny, but for many of us, so true. So I've decided to approach this body makeover thing backwards. Since there is a very good chance that it is going to take me the better part of the summer to improve the look of the scars on my stomach, as well as the muscle tone, and since I can't hide under a coverup all summer long wtih a very active toddler who wants to be in the water (the worst part of motherhood for a couch potato like myself!), I've decided I need to find a bathing suit that will work for me in the meantime. Me, right now. I need a little more coverage around the middle to hide my scars, but I still want something sexy and not matronly. Fortunately, there seem to be a lot of options right now. So here is my list of potential bathing suits! Please vote and help me out!

My (Not So) Short List

A bikini I might be able to pull off!
