Have hope, ladies! I got a retro styled Jantzen suit at TJ Maxx for $20 last year. These suits are usually more because they have built in supports.
I always thought rouching looks messy, opposite of my clean/steamlined taste. But one day I tried a dress with rouching around the waist, and astonishingly, it gave me curves and made me skinnier instead of fatter. It's not something I liked until I actually tried it on. Now I have a rouched swimdress and a rouched dress, both elicit raving compliments.
If I haven't decided to try the rouched style I hated so, I would never discover how it made people go "wow you look reeeaaally good" when they see me. Ever since, if I have never tried on the style before, I try on the clothe regardless of how it looks on the rack.
