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 1 – 200 of 459 Newer› Newest»Oh my goodness...if I could find a suit that made me look slim and beautiful, I'd be in it in a heartbeat. I think that's an impossibility, but still...it would be fun to find one that I didn't feel like a whale in!!!!
Would love to win this! :)
I'm a huge fan of Land's End swim suits & get a new one almost every year. I wear them for AGES and typically get tired of them before they wear out :)
I'm loving the polka dot floral slimming top & the swim mini bottom. so cute!
Ooooh! I've been looking for a new suit! Mine totally disintegrated!!
Sounds like the best bet for feeling somewhat confident in a suit for me is the Lands End suits. I would so love, love to win one -- haven't bought a new suit since my second child was born -- not looking forward to it.
I love the idea of anxiety zones...I can totally relate to that!
Oh! I so *desperately* need a new swim suit, and I love Lands' End clothing!!!
could totally use a new suit!
I have one Lands End suit that I love. I would love another one !!
*crosses fingers*
please let me win this. please. and please let lands end have a swim suit that will girdle up my jelly belly. please please.
I need a new swimsuit desperately. I know exactly what you mean about the elastic. LOL
I still have my swimsuit that i bought for my honeymoon 6 years ago. It doesn't look good on me anymore...but I can't stand the idea of parting with it.
I really need one that covers my "mom" body.
I hope I win!!!
Anne
If they have a suit that makes my cellulite go poof then I want it, and I'll start with the $100 gift certificate...thank you!!!
Okay...this is too good to pass up. I have given up on finding a swimsuit I like, maybe this will help me recoup my faith!
I'd love a new suit to cover up a couple new scars. Yuck!!! Plus something to distract from the hips!!!!!!
Man, I hope I win! I need a one piece with some serious underwire and slimming capability!
jennyheyman@hotmaildotcom
I love Lands End, and I love my tankini's from Lands End!
Wow! I'd love to find a swimsuit that would flatter my more than ample figure. Maybe Land's End is the answer!
Oh PLEASE pick me! My whole body is an anxiety zone. I better go watch the video and see what can be done about that.
We are going on a vacation to the beach in a couple of months. This would be great. Thanks!
Pick me, please!! I would love a new swimsuit.
Lands End Rocks! I do most of my shopping for myself and my daughter through their on-line site or their Inlet Stores. The have the BEST customer service in the world too!
Ooh, I want to win this one! Thanks for the chance.
I love Land's End. I would be thrilled to have a new swimsuit!
I could buy my mom a new swimsuit!...but then she would say she thinks its ugly and return it...so I think I'll just give her the gift card and she can decide....
I love Lands' End!
You can't not even begin to imagine how much I love Land's End."
In years past I have LOVED being their employee.
I LOVE that they LOVE their employees and even more so they LOVE their customers!
Unfortunately, my rather new and rather expensive LE suit took a nose dive into the "Kalahari" towel bend not to long ago. Therefore, I will be on the lookout for a new swimsuit. (My dhd didn't realize that my suit was carefully wrapped in the towel. He threw the towel in their 'towel' bin where it was supposed to be. In it were not only my 'rather new and lovely LE slimming swim suit but my 9 yr old daughter's suit...also from LE.
Her suit was replaced, by non other than LE. However, at $80 a suit...mine has not been replaced.
:) I might just cry should I be so lucky to be the winner of this!!
:) Lands End Lover!!

Super cute! I would love to win one! You always have the best things to give a way! Go Dawn!
Wow, what a blessing this would be! I have lost 30 pounds since January 1st (a new year's resolution) and am in desperate need of a swimsuit that fits now. I'd love to win this!
I just moved to a new swim/tennis community. A new Lands End bathing suit would sure help me feel more confident out there as I watch my 3 and 4 year old boys swim all day, every day!
I have been wearing Land's End suits for many years... but I could always use another one!!
I bought a Land's End swimsuit about three years ago at overstock and love it! I would love another. I like the kaleidoscope scoopneck swim top in seaglass green/deep pink with a pink swim mini.
Thanks Dawn---love Lands' End! A new swim suit would be fantastic!!
I've gone through so many cheap (and not so cheap) swimsuits that haven't lasted the season (and I don't swim all that often). I have got to get me a Lands End suit. Thanks for sharing.
Jennifer
I can't remember the last time I owned a swimsuit that wasn't from Land's End. It's been years and years...and I love them!!! They really do have good coverage for all your not-so-perfect areas, and I'm proof of that. Thanks for promoting such a great product from a great company, Dawn!
I would love to have one of these swim suites!!! I have such a hard time finding suits! This would be perfect for me!! I hope I win!
Amanda R. from WA
I can use one of these! Sign me up!
Wow! What a great giveaway. I'd trade one good swimsuit for the half a dozen UNflattering suits I have. :)
Kelly Q.
I would LOVE a new swimsuit!
I would LOVE a new suit for this summer! I'm due to deliver our 4th child any day now and I have no idea what my body is going to look like afterwards, but I'm pretty sure my suit from last year will NOT work ;-)
Thanks for another great giveaway!
I love Land's End suits, and would love the opportunity to own one! thanks
thanks for the tips, and another great giveaway! I've had child #4 since last summer and the body isn't quite "bouncing back" the way I'd like ;-)
My kids swim year-round...would love to win!!
I love that Lands' End has suits for the larger bra cup sizes! It is so hard to find a good suit with good support.
I'd love to buy the V-Neck swim top..not sure if I'd like solid or print, and the Shirred Jersey swim mini. Soo stylish!
Thanks for the chance to win Dawn!
Pick me! Pick me! All of my swimsuits are either too big or too little which means I usually end up wearing the ones that are too big because I'm too cheap to buy a new one.
Finding one that hides my hips would make it all the better.
I am taking my children to my parents (who have a pool) over the summer. I would love to have a suit that fits where it needs to. What a great give away.
It sure would make my day to win this! Thanks Dawn!!
I'd love to try a Lands' End bathing suit! The mix and match separates would work well for someone who is broccoli-floret shaped, too -- like me! :) Bigger shoulders, no hips. PLUS, after Baby #3 due this summer, who knows what I'll need???
Thanks!

Exactly what I need! My youngest is turning four, and so is the extra 20 pounds I have on my belly!!!!
I have heard great things about Lands End. Winning would be great because I don'tknow if I could justify buying one this year. I like the idea of the swim short tankini. One of those will probably be my next swim suit purchase.
After 3 kids in 4 years I'm ready for a new body and a new swimsuit! =)
What a GREAT giveaway! I love Land's End swimsuits for all the reasons you listed! Thanks for offering this Dawn. I hope I win!
What a great prize! I'd love to win a new swim suit and I've heard great things about LE suits.
Oh the thought of wearing a swim suit is depressing after having a baby 2 days ago but there's hope. I love Land's End swimwear.
Dude that would be totally awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!! Hope your mothers day is going wonderfully!!
I love LOVE the wide selection they have, especially that they have the swim shorts. There are times when us moms just don't have the time to look slender and beautiful just to drag the rats out to swim. I so hope this is the one I finally win, it would make summer so much easier to deal with :)
That would be so great for me or my mom to win!
I have wanted a Lands End swimsuit for years, but never had that much money to spend on a "non-necessary" article of clothing. I would LOVE to finally have a nice swimsuit.
What a wonderful prize for any Mom! I love Lands End clothes but I have never tried any of their swim suits and I could really use one!
I just love Land's End!! A gift card would be awesome :)
I would love a new suit that will hold the girls where they used to be.......kinda like the name of the new pixar movie.......UP!
OH I need a new suit SOOOOOOO bad. I could put this to good use!
Thanks Dawn and Lands End.
I so need a new suit! It's already over 100 here and my swimsuit is pretty pathetic!
Oh how I would love to win this! I can never find a bathing suit that is the least bit flattering on me, so this would be great!
Yikes, I think I need all of those shapes.... Would love to win this.
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with the disintegration, but fortunately that happened to Little Miss (in the middle of her swim lesson, no less) and not me.
But I still need a new suit because I ummm am not the same shape I was last year. *sigh*
Me me!!! :)
Oh my goodness this would be so great! It has been over 5 years since I bought a swimsuit, and I've gained quite a few pounds (OK, over 50). Plus, my teen and pre-teen daughter have quite unusual sizes so I would love to get them swimsuits that flatter and are age appropriate, but it's just not in our budget.
I hope you pick me!!!

How awesome!! I so need a suit this year!!!
Oh this is so cool. I could get a new swimsuit for my daughter
Oh my how I would love a swimsuit, I just wear shorts and a tank top. That would be so neat to win and just in time for summer. Thanks for all your neat giveaways Dawn, hope you had an awesome Mother's Day!! Carissa in Aurora, OR
I so LOVE Land's End suits! We're getting a pool this year, so it would be great to get a new suit!!! :)
I would love to win this. I could definitely use a new swimsuit and am also a lovely pear shape.
Ilove Lands End products, and a swim suit in a need this summer!
Who wouldn't love to win a new swimsuit?! Just the fact that my virtual model can try it on rather than sweating it out in some dressing room has me sold! :)
I love Land's End suits - they last so long and fit perfect!
Amie
I would love to win this....I need a new suit for this year!
Love Land's End!
i would love a new swim suit
I love Lands End! Quality can not be beat, and they always offer free shipping. Enter me please.
I've lost 15 pounds(with several more to go) and while I love feeling slimmer, now I have empty skin to contend with, LOL! I'd love to find a suit that I'd be confident in!
I LOVE Lands' End stuff. It's awesome! As a mom of three, I could definitely use a new suit that actually fit my strange body shape!
I LOVE their clothing. It always holds up so well!
Elizabeth
thesmithclan@stny.rrdotcom
Lands' End swimsuits are awesome!
I could really use a new one. Thanks for the opportunity.
Karen
I didn't mind aging until my body caught up to my numbers!!! This would make it easier to face summer!
I've already ordered Land's End suits for some of the kids, but have to wait for the end-of-season Overstocks for myself. It'd be groovy to get a new one BEFORE swim season for once. I hope the cosmic random integer generator favors me since it's my birthday!
I'm so glad that Land's End realizes that we are not all built like supermodels and have our own style of body shape. I would love to win a bathing suit from Land's End!
-Donna W.
I love Land's End swimsuits! There's are the best quality and they actually make my "after baby body" look great. I'd love to have another!!
What an awesome giveaway - and just in time for summer! I love your blog Dawn - always such great stuff for your readers!
This is a great giveaway- I've just recently discovered how great the Lands End website is. You can try on clothing or swimsuits with "My Virtual Model". It's great! I would love to win this! Thanks.
I love Lands End suits - especially the tankinis which cover the tummy - and would love to win this!!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Land's End!!
It would be wonderful to win this!
Thanks for offering such cool stuff!

I could definitely use a new suit. Nothing in my closet fits anymore.
I would love a new, flattering swimsuit, and the gift certificate would hep me get one! Thank you!
I would LOVE a Lands End swimsuit! I really need one this year. I hope I win :-)
I hate bathing suit shopping. Anything that would make finding a bathing suit easier would be a blessing.
I would love to have a new lands end suit!!!!
Desperately seeking new suit!!
I'm a big fan of Lands End. I really could use a new swimsuit now that summer is approaching and I just became a stay-at-home mom and get to spend lots of time at the beach with my kids this summer :-)
i would love to win! i wouldn't justify buying myself a nice swimsuit otherwise
oh good timing - I could totally use this!
I can't remember the last time I bought a swimsuit! I would LOVE to get one! Thanks! :)
I'd love a new, high-quality, Lands' End suit! I decided to sign my 6 month old son up for infant/parent swim lessons. Then I instantly regretted the decision once I realized that I would have to wear a suit too! I searched through my suits in a panic, only to find that they were either inappropriate or too small! Yikes! I have 3 days to find a suitable suit!!!!
Why do our swimsuits shrink over time? Ha! Sounded good anyways. I love to win a new suit this year!
Love Lands End swimwear - count me in!
Dawn, these suits sound great! Who couldn't use something that doesn't give you a saggy butt:)
What a nice giveaway! Especially since my son wrote a descriptive poem about me for mother's day and the last line read "Afraid to wear a bikini!"
Oh wow. A swimsuit that actually fits!!! That would be great!
Thanks for the giveaway Dawn!
kirine@gmail.com
I'd love to win. I could really use a new swim suit!
I've always wanted to buy a Lands End swimsuit!
You're right, Dawn - Lands'End suits are THE BEST! The Faille fabric really is slimming and who couldn't use a little of that. I could use a new one,though, because the birth of my 5th child left me a little, shall we say, stretched out.
I'm hoping! :)
oh random integer pick me, I love lands end! I wanted to order a suit last week, but didn't have the $, and they were on sale :(.
I would love to win this. I have been looking at their suits but haven't been able to justify spending the money.
I haven't had a new swimsuit in I don't even know how many years. T-shirts and shorts have had to do the job. It would rock to not only have a swimsuit, but one that would fit well and last for years!
Living in FL, I just about live in my bathing suit, I would love to win this!
-Jen
Oh, heavens. Is it really swimsuit season again? *sigh* Bring on the crash dieting. LOL I do need a new swimsuit to match my "new" figure which I acquired after the birth of my third child. I'm now also a lovely pear shape. :)
I absolutely LOVE Land's End!! My daughter's backpacks are awesome. I would love to win!!:)
I definitely need a new swim suit. Thanks for the chance!
I could use a new suit and one for free would be even better!!!
Oh Lordy, I have not even thought about swim suits yet! I totally need this to help get my butt in gear. And hey, if it can shave off (or hide) a few pounds, that's all the better! :)
I hope they have clorine resistant suits. I could use a new one.
I'd love to win a new swimsuit !!!!
I need a(nother!) Land's End suit...I've had mine for 8+ years!
I would love to win. I have not had a new swimsuit in 15 years!
Love your reviews!
AHHH!!! Our pool opened this weekend and I had to try on the old bathing suits- not so much fun!! I haven't had a new suit in over 5 years- yep- it's about time!!
Thanks for the great giveaway- my fingers are crossed!!
JLWalden1{at}gmail{dot}com
Oooh - I had just about talked myself into buying a Land's End swimsuit, and this would make it a sure thing! Thanks for the chance!
I discovered Lands End swimsuits last year, and this year already bought 2 more. I have ginormous breasts, a left over tummy from 4 kids and am tall. They have the first swimsuit that I've ever felt cute in!
This is so wonderful! Thank you for offering this drawing!
I always have trouble finding a bathing suit as I need it big on top but then the rest of it is way too big.
Pick me so I can try Lands End and swim again with my 3 grandkids.
Donna - from NE, IN
I would love a swimsuit that made me look............?
oooooo! I want a swimsuit I can wear without my top falling out! Would love to win. Thanks Dawn and thanks Land's End!
Sign me up! Love your blog and Lands End!!

I would love it!! And I will need a new suit!
I just spent hours this weekend trying to find a suit that fits...would love to win this.
I just had a baby so it's a guarantee that last year suit will not fit! I could definitely use a new one! Thanks Dawn! :)
Thanks for the offer. I love my LE suit!
Need new swimsuit. Badly. Very badly! Thanks.
I always look at their stuff and then wait until I am in desperate need of a suit, and it's too late to get one from them. Thanks for offering this! I love Land's End's clothes.
I would love to win! I need a new suit. I haven't had a new one since my maternity one I got while I was pregnant with my first son four years ago.
I would love to win this. I look scary in the swim suit I own. I don't expect miracles from any swim suit but man would I love to give it a shot.
I desperately need a new suit, and my sister-in-law was just raving about lands end the other day. Please let mine be the lucky number...
I LOVE Lands End swim suits! I have a couple of tops and a couple of bottoms but was just thinking I needed to get another one. We go to the pool every day in the summer so variety is a must, plus I need time for them to dry out. Lands Ends suits fit fabulously and hold up sooo well! I hope I win!
woohoo contest! i've been having a terrible time finding a suit to wear this year. i'd love to win and not have to feel bad about spending $$ on a new suit!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a new bathing suit!!!!
Sign me up!
I struggle to find a suit that fits me EVERY year! I'm under 5ft and no one makes ANYTHING for my body type and my height...it's maddening! Here's hoping I can try Land's End!
I would LOVE to win this. I am really in need of a new swimsuit this year, and I just HATE shopping for one in stores.
I would LOVE to win this. I had a baby 8 days ago and am terrified of swim suit season and would love to find one that doesn't make me uncomfortable.
Please pick me! :)

After 3 kids, I have lost 36 pounds since last summer and I desperately need a new swimsuit. I love Lands' End and would love to win this gift card!
Oh, I would LOVE to win this! I really really REALLY need to get around to buying a new suit... you know how they start to get kind of thin after a few years? :-/ Yeah, that's me. I usually have at least a tshirt on over it unless I'm actually IN the water. But I haven't bought a new one because I can't bring myself to pay good money for something that I'd probably just grab off the rack. I need to *make* time to go find a good one. Sigh. But I do hate looking at myself in the mirror...
I too would love to be able to give this to my oldest daughter so she could treat herself.
I would love a Lands End swimsuit!
I love Lands' End swimsuits (just can't wear mine right now while I'm pregnant this summer), but would love to have a new one for next year!!!
After having twins, which was accompanied by shifts in places on my body I never thought possible...I could use this!!
I really really really would love to have one of those swimsuits to cover the "beautifulness" of having children. I would love love love to win. Thanks
Daphne
I love Lands End -- I've been happy with everything I've purchased there...
UGH swimsuits HATE THEM ! But LOVE some of the ones I have seen in Land's End catalog ! So there is hope!
would love to find a a swimsuit that controls, flatters and doesn't ride up. Pick me please.
THIS WOULD GET ME MOTIVATED TO WORK OUT MORE.

Thanks! Linda C.
I would LOVE to win that gift card!

My current suit is on the verge of disintegration; a new one would do me good.

I would love a new swimsuit that actually flatters me.
I would LOVE a Land's End swim suit!
I would love to win this!!
Does Omar make suits for Lands End now? I'm afraid that's who is going to have to make one for me this year! But if Lands End can do something for me, send me the money honey!
D Haynes
I would LOVE to win a gift card for Lands End. I am disabled and I have gained a few pounds due to the fact that I can't exercise. I would love to go to water therapy again, but I don't have a swimsuit. This would help me a LOT!!
A swimsuit would be marvelous!! Come on, me!!
Halyec@yahoo.com
I tried last year and I'm trying again this year! I so could use a $100 gift card to Land's End. I love their stuff =)

I love their bathing suits and would love to win one to help with my new post-baby body!
Would love to pick a suit from Land's End!

I haven't had a suit in years, so I am scared to even look. :)
love Lands End! Have been wanting one of their suits for a couple of years now.
Would love a new swimsuit!!!
I love swimsuits even though they don't like me.
Jennifer B.
I have two land's End swimsuits and I will never buy another brand again. I like their two piece tankinis with the skirt bottoms. Sure, I thought I'd never wear a skirted bathing suit, but when I'm chasing my four year old around the backyard in my bathing suit, it is nice to have that skirt covering my butt! :)
I love swimsuits for Lands End and I could use a new one! Would love to win!
I would LOVE to find a suit that didn't make me look pregnant!
I'd sure love to win this! I havent had a swimsuit in about 4 years and we're going on a VERY budget vacation this summer!
glad to see I am not the only women that has all kinds of issues with swimsuits- right now I am using the top of my maternity swimsuit and a pair of mens trunks!
I need this! LOL
Melissa
Becuase I'd love a mom swimsuit, without LOOKING like MY mom. :)
