I tried on the last suit I ordered online (and promptly returned) right after dinner. I unequivocally recommend that you try yours on with an empty stomach. The horror of what I looked like still haunts me.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

A little candlelight, a little wine, some mood music, and angle the top of the mirror toward you.

I ordered a suit online after trying on a gazillion one day (my size wasn't at the store). Had it shipped to my little sister's house so it would be there when I came to visit a few days later. She opened it out of curiosity, and called me to tell me it looked HUGE...well, when I tried it on, it fit perfectly
I can't complain, it really looks pretty good on me, but it's a bikini with boy-short bottoms and the bottoms look pretty massive when they're just sitting there! So don't judge the suit before you try it on, either!

Thanks everyone!
I used the free shipping option, so I will have 5 to 9 days of contemplation before the big day.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I'm paraphrasing a friend of mine on Facebook, but I loved it so much that I'm keeping it.
How to get your body bikini ready:
Step 1. Stand in front of the mirror and proudly state: "B**CH, I AM FABULOUS!"
Step 2. Put on bikini.

OK, this inspired me to buy my first 2 piece (not a tankini) in like 20 years. Looking at others at the pond, I deduced I am OK to wear this, but who knows when it arrives.

2 piece arrived.
I wore it to neighborhood pond.
Nobody fainted.
It looks OK; it actually fit well. I feel a little uncomfortable about the hip area, but, it's OK. Not sure if I will wear it in a more public venue.2015 Trek Silque SSL

Oh, good grief. I guess I messed up my order and didn't complete it (until this morning). So I'm starting my wait over.
