Swimdress, a new mom's best friend

I was wondering around Target this morning before work trying to waste some time. My husband and I had to car pool today because his car is broken, yet again. Unfortunately he starts at 8 and I didn't start until 10. So I was wondering around and noticed their Bathing suits are on clearance. I need a new one since we will be going on a cruise at the end of January; it will be our official honeymoon.
I have been looking for a bathing suit for a bit, unfortunately I am so long in the torso that most one piece suits look like they are being dragged down and unless I want to spend a lot of money getting one in long then a one piece is just out of the question. On the other hand seeing as I have stretch marks up the wazoo from having my son I'm not all that comfortable in a bikini. Tankinis end up in much the same way as the one piece.  I still end up with a ring of skin in the middle because the bottom of the top doesn't come down as far as it should and most bottoms are low riser....unless I want to dress like an old lady.
Which is what I've always really thought of the swimdress. A one piece with a stupid half skirt in the front. So there I was going through the rakes of endless bikini bottoms and one pieces that I could never fit into when I come across a v-neck black swim dress with gathers on the side and by god it's actually cut. I mean you hold it up and it's really just the perfect little black dress....Dare I try it on??? Oh I dare!
So the tag says XL which I am now between a medium and large depending on what I'm wearing...However, in a bathing suit I know I can get a smidgen more out of the length if I wear one that is a size to big but I didn't know if XL was to large. I was wearing an XL when I was 6 months preggers. So I put it on and not only does it fit, it hides all my new body flaws that I have yet to get used to. The skirt is also long enough it actually looks like I'm just wearing a cute little dress and it covers up the stretch marks on my thighs! The best part is, it was only 25 bucks for probably the best bathing suit I've ever owned. It's also small children approved. I don't know if it's just me or what; maybe I'm just old fashioned but you wouldn't dress like a hooker to take your children to the park you shouldn't be wearing a string bikini with your ta-tas poppin' out the top and your butt crack poppin' out the back when you're swimming with your kids.

Note: I will post a picture of said wonderful piece of fabric soon.
