What do you think of this? Was she wearing appropriate attire?

Personally I wish more women her age would do the same thing.

Well, if she'd bought one that actually FIT her, it might have been a different story.

I don't know, I think she has a point. It's not like she was wearing a thong and I don't think they'd have said something to a 20 year old in the same exact suit with the same exact fit.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a body and we all have one. I think Americans are too prudish and hung up on things.

She is to be commended for losing over 100 pounds. If I had done that, I would wear that bathing suit, also. Except, it would not be at a family water park. She seems to equate herself with the 14, 15, and 16 year old girls. She needs to apply the same common sense that it took to lose the weight to her apparel and appropriate places. She is not a young teen, there are many more age-appropriate bathing suits for the water park (and I don't mean matronly and old lady swim suits), and she is coming out of that top. Save that for the beach. I am sure that she was probably embarrassed when asked to cover up or leave, but she just should have known better. I bet her daughter already had said that to her.

I think the bottom was okay but she needed a top with more coverage for the activities of a waterpark. I bet she had to constantly adjust herself because she was falling out of it just standing still. No way her "girls" were staying put if she was jumping/spashing around or doing the waterslide.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way she looks in that bikini. MUCH more modest than most people go around wearing at places like that. To have someone her age be comfortable in their own bodies enough and have the confidence to put on what I would call a perfectly acceptable, modest 2-pc bikini is not only refreshing but should be encouraged, but I guess it's more important to let "kids be kids" and dress inappropriate and let them get away with it than it is to expect haters to leave a fully grown, confident adult woman alone and wear something that compliments her body while remaining, in my opinion, very modest.

She looked fine to me. The purpose of a water park is to get wet and enjoy the rides. Who cares what you are wearing as long as it is not a physical hazard? Good grief. She looked fine. I think that probably somebody was quite jealous that she had bigger hooters. LOL

I always give credit to women regardless of size who feel comfortable wearing a bikini. I do wonder how her daughter felt because when it is your mom dressing a certain way that is a different story. Maybe her child is fine with it but maybe she is embarrassed not by her moms size even but just how little the suit covers.

The bottoms look fine to me. I don't see the problem, unless something had ridden up somewhere and didn't look like the photo. The top is a little too revealing for good taste, IMHO, but not enough to get someone kicked out of a place.
