Well, ladies, it's that time of year again. Time to dig out the ole swimsuit and see if it still fits. And if it fits, you have to make sure the elastic is still intact. There's nothing worse than putting on a bathing suit only to have the elastic disintegrate into a poof of dust as you stretch it over your hips. Not that that's ever happened to me or anything. Oh yeah, and it's also a good idea to check for areas that have become transparent and/or pilled from sitting on cement pool steps while watching the little kids dog paddle back and forth under the hand rail. Of course, if you have a Lands' End swimsuit, you won't have to worry about disintegrating elastic or thin areas of fabric because their suits last and look gorgeous year after year!
Because I'm abnormally pear-shaped, I have a really hard time finding suits that fit me. One of the big reasons why I love, love, LOVE Lands' End suits is because they have such a wide selection of separates so I can get different sizes to fit my top and bottom. Lands' End swimsuits come in a huge selection of styles and sizes. They've got everything: Slender Suits designed to flatter a variety of body shapes and make you appear slimmer, Mix and Match Separates (perfect for pear shaped people!), one pieces, tankinis, swim shorts, swim skirts, mastectomy suits, cover-ups, bikinis, custom suits, and more! They even have swim tops with underwire that hold "the girls" up where they belong so those of us who have nursed half a dozen kids don't have to tuck our boobs into our shorts. They seriously have something for everyone.
Since Lands' End first sent me a swimsuit to review last year, I've been a happy, loyal Lands' End customer. Their clothes are high quality and last forever. You'll be able to wear your Lands' End swimsuit for many, many seasons! Need help finding the most flattering suit for your body type? Lands' End has a YouTube channel with videos addressing your concerns. Check it out here!
And for my most awesome readers, Lands' End is offering a $100 gift card to one lucky winner so you'll be able to hit the beach in style and with confidence. Just leave me a comment here and I'll choose a winner on Friday, May 15 at midnight CT. Good luck and in the meantime, check out the Lands' End catalog HERE and pick out your favorite swimsuit!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 459 Newer› Newest»Pick me! :-) I would love a Land's End swimsuit~ and this would be a great way to get as I couldn't afford it any other way! :-)
Wow there's so many awesome swimsuits! how would you choose just one?!?
I'd LOVE a swimsuit that was engineered to put my pieces back(or at least CLOSE) to where they used to be... Just yesterday my 8YO was kind enough to point out my "squishy" areas....
I would LOVE a new bathing suit!!
Dawn Mom of 5 from DE
just lost a lot of weight...so i'm going to be brave and go to the beach this summer!
I am still wearing my maternity bathing suit - and my youngest is 3 1/2 YEARS old - so I desperately need a new suit. The best part about winning this is I would no longer have to wear the obligitory "big loose t-shirt over the bathing suit because I am uncomfortable with the way I look" uniform of moms everywhere!
I just ordered a suit from Lands End and LOVE it! But I could always use another... ;)
I LOVE my Lands End swimsuit - it covers most of my unshapelyness LOL! And they have some adorable shoes too!
wow great offer.
Oh I could really use this, we just moved and are now living next to a lake! My husband keeps telling me I need a swimsuit for this summer...I keep ignoring him:-)
pick me! pick me!
I love Land's End for my girls, I guess I need to try it formyself. Maybe this yesr I can join them in the pool!
Love Lands End. My mom has been a customer for YEARS.
Woo hoo. What a fun prize.
Pick Me!
oh good - I need a non-maternity suit!!! The last time I bought a regular suit (from Lands End coincidentally) it was 6 years ago!! I swear I'm pregnant every summer - either already pregnant or just had the baby and still wearing maternity clothes... I need a tummy control suit after 4 kids!
I so need a new suit & would love to win one!
Oh wow, this would be wonderful. This will be the first summer that I'm not either pregnant or nursing, I could really use an awesome swimsuit!
I would love to win this!
Land's End suits are GREAT quality. Generator...stop..................NOW!
I would really love to win this!! Needing to buy a new one now!
Kim
Lands End is Awesome! I swear by them!
Living in FL I can always use new bathing suits. And don't get me started on the kids who grow like weeds and need a new one every other week!
I really need a new suit!!
This will be my very first year shopping for a bathing suit...a real one...that would mean not a maternity bathing suit ;) I'm only twenty five but after having four kids in five years...well let's just say I could look a whole lot better :) I couldn't imagine actually liking a bathing suit and feeling good in it too! I'll be checking out the Land's End bathing suites today!!!
Hope I win, it would make swimsuit shopping much more enjoyable!
I've dropped 25# and need a new suit. (50# to go). Mine is about to fall off me. I know, such an aweful problem to have!
Dawn
I've had Lands'End swimsuits before, and they are wonderful. I'l love to be able to get one again. Pick me!!!!
WooHoo! Pick me please! I need to tuck, lift (my poor boobs sag WAY too far for my being only 30, but breastfeeding 4 littles has made them look like wrinkly deflated water balloons)....and my last bathing suit? well, the butt has been "pilled" to death. I lost my job last October and am about to finish up a medical assisting program....would be AWESOME to have a new swimsuit to wear to the pool with my babies!
OOOOO, Pick me, tomorrow's my birthday and I really need a new swimsuit! Thanks for the chance and I love reading your blog!
What are the chances? This would be awesome!
This offer is just what I need. After looking at their swim suits, I may be able to get one here that actually will work for this 50 something Grammy.
I love Land's End swimsuits. Please pick me!
Its been ages since I bought a new one :)
A new bathing suit would be great! Dawn - you have the best giveaways! Thanks.
LOL, I'm not sure a $100.00 gift card would cover enough of the suit I'd need!!! Oh well, a girl can always hope : -)
I've lost over 40 pounds and I'm ready for swimsuit season!
Becky
i love lands ends suits. i haven't bought one in years and would love a new one!
Oh, please chose me!! I've just lost 20 lbs after trying for many years and my old suits don't fit. Lands End suits rock....and I'd be happy to rock one!!
Would love to give this to my mom:)
No modeling of the suit for us? Hey, I'm with you. Last year was the first official time I said I would never swim again thanks to swimsuits, but perhaps I just didn't have the correct one...
I love Land's End! CLothes and just got a new suit not too long ago. Looks awesome for having just had a baby 3.5 months ago.
Oh for the love of all things holy.....please, please, please let me win!
This would be great to win! I buy a new suit each summer because I just can't find one that covers me correctly in all the right places. I would love to win this one!
I have heard a lot of great things about their suits! I may have to check them out...Thanks!
Love me some Land's End any day!
I just had three babies in four years and would really need a new swimsuit! Would love to try Land's End. :-)

Desperately need a new bathing suit for taking my kids to the community pool for the first time!

I love their swimsuits, but even more, I love their canvas bags.
I just got their bathing suit catalog and there are so many cute ones to chose from. Now if I could win this gift card it would all be grand!
LaDonna
Of course, I'd love to win a bathing suit that would flatter my body much better than my "go to" black suit I always wear.
I love, love, Lands's End swim suits! Ever since I bought my first one I have been hooked. They last forever. I would love a new one, maybe a tankini perhaps...
love the slenderizer swimsuits, when I finally have this baby I will need it!
OOOH! Pick me! Pick me!:)
Mandy
I need one that makes me look about 30 pounds lighter.
I love Lands' End swimsuits. In fact I have two of the "sport suits" with shorts like you show in the picture. But they are both going on 10 years old and the straps are getting stretched out.
Please pick me I need a new suit for the summer.
Angela W.
Oh wow I havent bought myself a new swimsuit in ...never mind it would embarrass me to tell yall how long LOL. mine last year acually kicked the bra out in the washer after we got home from the beach! ACK.. please random generator pick me!
@jennhoop
Do they also include surgery for those who have nursed 7 children and have nothing left except healthy children to show for it? (Or would that be the mastectomy suits?) Maybe I'll find out...
I love two piece bathing suits, especially the tankinis. I have the pear shape and have the hardest time finding something flattering. The mix & match sets are great.
Land's End has great stuff!!
oh oh oh - pick me! pick me! ;-)
i need need need a new swimsuit for vacation next month & have been DREADING spending the money on something that won't look good on me anyway. ;-(
if it's free, it won't hurt so much. ;-D
& thank you, dawn, for the opportunity!
I love Lands End!!! I'd love to win.
Pick me please, as a single mom of 4, I work 2 jobs and I am going to school, being have something like that for myself would be so neat.
ditto1_ash@yahoo.com
Looks like we're all in need of a new swimsuit! I have a hard time finding a good one because I'm so short, have hips (too big for kid suits) and a tummy that isn't suitable for a two-piece. I see a few pieces on the site that might work for me, though. Good luck to everyone.
I'm due with my 2nd baby next week. I own a pool. I'm going to need a new, flattering suit more than I'd like to admit. I'd love to win this!
Hmmm, money to spend on a swimsuit/clothing for me....sounds sort of familiar from the long-distant past....
O my! A swimsuit that hides ample hips and lifts the "girls" sounds WONDERFUL! I've been avoiding taking my kids to the pool so far this year b/c I'm dreading buying a swimsuit for myself. UGH! Hopefully one of these from Land's End will do the trick. Pick me!!!
I'm an irritating hourglass. Heard excellent things about the Land's End swimsuits.
Hey!! UNFAIR!! Why ONLY girls in this contest? I have reached the ripe old age of 62...and my waist size just about matches my years.
But,I too, would like to be considered for this Land's End contest. I have actually driven from CT all the way to Maine (with a screaming child...who stopped sniffling just long enough to inquire just where on the map we were)My former wife,slept blissfully,in fact, I see that she too is trying to win this contest.
So Dawn, How about a little consideration for your gentlemen readers?
I would love a lands end swim suit!!
Oh, count me in. Although I hate myself in a bathing suit, my last few have been from Lands End and at least I know I can find one that's cute but still covers me a bit (although I won't feel adequately covered until I can wear full pants and long sleeves!)
Land End suit are nice. I bought one for my daughter last year. I need to buy me a new suit, so this would come in handy.
Lands end is great!
Would love to win this!
Didn't know you had a site for reviews. Cool! I really like Land's End stuff. And I coud use an updated suit.
I would love a Land's End Swimsuit!
oh pick me please Dawn!!!!!!!
I'd love 100 gift card to Land's End!
I hate shopping for swimsuits (like many others.) Lands' End is just about the only thing that helps with the process. I always feel confident that their products will deliver quality and last for a long time--and who wants to shop for a swimsuit every year?!
ok, comment no. 267 MUST be a lucky number. I NEED a Lands End bathing suit. Please, please pick me !
Blessings,
Gail
I love Lands End!! Im def. going to check these out!

I would love to win a swimsuit! After four kids, it is not a relaxing day at the beach.
Kristie, Michigan
I wanted to win last year, too- so I hope I do this year! My 6 yr old Target suit has pretty much kicked the bucket- and I want something to cover my um, flabby mom upper legs.
WOW! Summer in FLA would be so much more pleasant, and maybe I wouldn't cringe when my 2 year old asks to go to the pool! Pick me please! :)
Lauren L.
I could REALLY use a Lands End Gift Card!
Boy shorts, please. I'm an average sized girl, but I've got a little somethin' somethin' in the back behind. Can we cover it up, please?!
Thank you!
Lands end makes long torso suits that actaully fit ME! I think i may actually be more round than long, but the round fills up the long too. make sense? maybe not..anyway, hope i win!!
This would be great to win!!
c66mom@hotmail.com
Lands' End is one of my favoritest stores! I've got my eye on that sport tankini!
Ah, yes, the dreaded swim suit buying. Lands End does have great choices. I could use a new one since we spend so much time at the local pool.
I haven't bought a new swimsuit in a decade and it's starting to show. Just lost 30 lbs so it would be great to have a new one!
I love Lands Ends suits - haven't had one post-children....would love to win!
Thanks!
Kim Evans
OH! Lands end stuff does last forever! How cool!
Love your blog...and would love to even "look" decent in a swimsuit!
If I win this, I'm NOT getting a black bathing suit. I need some color in my life!

I have mad, mad love for Lands End swimsuits!
I bought a Lands End tankini a few weeks ago, and WONDERS, it makes me look good. I would love to buy another one, or a one piece to round out my summer stash. Yea for Lands End!
Oh wow, I've never shopped at Lands End before , but I could always do with a new swimsuit that at least makes my butt look good!
I could really, really use a Lands End swim suit!
(They are the best!)
thanks
I love, love, love Lands End!
Pick me, pick me. I would love to win and start the summer on a positive note!
Dawn oh Dawn! Please oh Please! Pick me! I'm not usually one for begging, but in the land of swimsuits that you love the feel of, the look of, the Ahhhhh moment when you look in the mirror?! I WANT THAT!!! Let's face it: I NEEEED that! I have been everywhere all over this wonderful state of Maine, searching....to no avail! I will love you forever...okay, enough begging. you get the point!! :)
Like everyone else, I could totally use a new swimsuit. Also a pair of sandals for my son! :-)
Sign me up for the drawing. Thanks Dawn!
I just picked up a Land's End swimsuit catalogue this past weekend. I would love a gift card to pay for my purchase!
Lands End Rocks! The Lands End ladies at my local Sears just helped me pick out the outfit I wore on TV to show off my new look after my Mother's Day Make Over. They were spectacular!!
I love Land's End and would love a new more flattering bathing suit!
Anything will that helps is awesome!

well I have a land's end suit...but it doesn't fit...so this would be great...i'm embarrassed to admit that I've actually gained weight SINCE giving birth! :(
I love their swimsuits! Thanks Dawn!
Pick me Pick me!
Oh how I wish I would win this...I oh so need a new bathing suit for this year. I had reduction surgery and can't wait to be able to finally fit the girls into a bathing suit FINALLY! Oh how exciting and of course probably TMI but hey I'm excited after MANY years of not being able to get a suit.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I love the Lands End Swimsuits! Worth every penny. I need to find a new one that is a little tighter around the neck/chest area so little hands stay out. I don't know why the kids are always reaching in there and grabbing the girls!
This is something I would love to win!!
I have heard wonderful things about Lands End swimsuits. I would love the chance to own one!
I just had my 3rd baby and would love a suit that might actually fit! Choose me! :-)
You had me at "underwire". Sweeeet!
I love Land's end! Let my number be chosen, please please please!
I'm really tall, so I have trouble finding bathing suits that fit my long torso. This would be awesome!
On my list of 'things to do' is to head to Sears and check out their selection of Lands End suits! This would definitely help out!
Vanessa

Lands End swimsuits are the best! The quality and style are unbeatable. I also recommend their business outfitters division. I've order several shirts from them and they always make my team look awesome!!!
I really need a great fitting suit and one that doesn't show that I really need that tummy control panel option!
I would love to win a swimsuit from Lands' End because I said so ;)

oooohhh! I would love to get a Lands End suit. Pick me, pick me!

I have been a Land's End fan for about the last 20 years and can say that their colors are always true to what you see and that their stuff does tend to last a long time. (attaché, over 20 years old, "swirl" skirts, approx. 15 years old, etc. etc.)
Ooooooh, I want one! But where is the circle shape? Hmmmmmm.....Have a great one, and thanks for another great giveaway! Cecilia
Oh my, I really like the Penelope Print suit.
A Land's End suit would be wonderful!!!
I've been buying Lands End for over 10 years - I love that place!! I hope I win :-) Thanks for the chance!

Me, me, pick me!
OK, you got me with *hold "the girls" up*! I'm sold!! Would love the $100 to help, though!!
I LOVE Land's End products! Always top quality!
I would loooove to win this! I desperately need more summery clothes.
I would loooove a suit that would make me look slim. I have struggled with my weight for so long. After having four children you tend to stretch in many direction... mainly south! PICK ME PLEASE!! :)
I love their bathing suits! I was looking for one about a month ago, and saw one I really liked . . . it just didn't fit the budget at the time. I ended up with one that I really don't like, but it was cheap and fit - ugh! I used to have one of their suits, but I lost it. =0(
Blessings!!
Kelly
how interesting, I'm actually in the market for a new suit, hah!
This would be an amazing gift, I haven't bought myself a new suit since my kids were born.
oh i like the sperates they have a lot of different looks :)
Nothing is better than a slimming Lands End swim suit! I have not bought a new suit in three years...help a girl out...LOL
I found half of a Lands End bathing suit at a consignment shop-- maybe I can finish the outfit!
Will this suit hide the 20 pounds of baby weight that will NOT be gone by summer????
I would love to win...really I live in FL, probably is about time I got a swim suit!
My body shape is more octagon. Do they have a swim suit for my shape?
yay swimsuit time again. =)
I've never heard of this brand before..would love to check them out, especially for freeee!
If I could find a suit that was made for my body, I'd be in Heaven.
I'm in!!!!!

Lands End sells great products. I could use a new bathing suit. Now would be a good time :)
Thank you!
Ok - maybe Lands End swim suits won't make me look slim and gorgeous but they WILL fit and not give me constant wedgies, butt floss, etc. And they won't fall apart in the middle of the season - I've been wearing them for years!
Great giveaway! I would love to win!
Hope I'm not too late... Oh how I would love a new swimsuit and I'm on Land End's page all the time checking them out. Thanks for the give-a-way! Karen U.
I love Land's End! Do you think they have a suit that will make it appear that I've lost the weight from my last baby?
These suits look amazing!
I feel like shopping for a swimsuit is a lost cause for me! Maybe Lands End can help.
Oh my goodness ... I need one of these! Please please please pick me!
I'ld love to win this one!!--sasha--bc, tx
Been hiding those pounds for a LONG time!!! 7 kids = no $ for new suit = not a lot of summer fun! Would LOVE to win this!!!
