The horizontal stripes are great for her tall figure. Sandi, our 'Mom' model sports the ever popular 'bubble' two piece.

Gilly: Well Vickie, it sure pulls everything in, but the stretch is total..so a real winner.
Vickie: Um, okay. Next, Faizah has a traditional black and white tank on with 'invisible' straps. She's new to Chicago and says this is the first swimming suit she has ever put on. Kennedy finishes up the tanks, with a multi-hued suit. Our next group brings out something a little different.
