I swim in a "swim dress" because I have very flabby thighs and I am vain. So I decided that it was going to be Bakar today, and I grabbed a suit hanging up. I didn't think much about it, but I did think it did look a little faded.
I put it on and thought to myself, boy this hangs low. It came to mid thigh, but I didn't think anything about it. I can swim in this puppy mid thigh or not.
So in the water I got. Half way through my warm up it felt like maybe it was more then mid thigh, maybe it was more of a maxi dress then a mini dress. But I decided to keep swimming because well it was drag. Make a person strong.
But as I swam more, it seemed to get lighter rather then heavier. Yikes, I thought to myself, my dress is coming off leaving only the suit (yes there is a suit under the dress) on. I kept stopping to see if I still had the dress part on. It seemed to be still hanging on, but maybe by just a thread. But then I felt alot of cloth but not a lot of weight. I was confused, but by now I decided maybe swimming today was not the what I really wanted to do.
I got out of the pool and the dress was still on, but yes it was hanging down almost to my ankles. So I grabbed my towel and went to the shower room. As I passed the mirror I saw that I had no back. The dress had separated from the back so all the dress was in front - to my ankles.
Oh well. That suit did its job up to the end. But from here on out - I am going to be checking those dresses!!!

Boy, I can hardly wait until the rest of the suit fails. However, I suspect that Amazon.com and Swimworld.com will get some heavy duty credit card activity within the next few days.
