Ashley is our swimsuit model.
I got a one piece suit and a swim skirt and actually wore them on a beach (Yes, there were other people on the beach, it was not deserted!) and on a fancy little yacht that I was invited to spend some leisurely days on by the big boss and family. On the boat there was a small area where you could lay out.
I think the trick to overcoming my HUGE fearfulness of being with others on the beach in my swimsuit was the swim skirt. It hid the "lower area" some more.
