| You need to go to sports shops for bathing suits. |

| Last year and this year, I've had 4 sent from Victoria's Secret, and had no problems yet. If you want lots of selection, that's your best bet. |

| If you find a good place to go girl shopping, let me know. I always like to have a couple of spares around. |

A couple of weeks ago someone showed me a little street near
Nongsan station where you can shop for girls.
You can't actually buy them though. It's more like a rental. They stand
in the doorway and say hello to you. |

On average, about two weeks, but it depends if what you want to order is backordered in your size or not.  |

I posted this same question back in June and the respose I got was to order from Victoria's Secret. I did and got one suit that fit well and one that was too small. I am always wary about buying swimsuits without trying them on and since I am unsure of what size I am since losing weight it was a gamble. I recieved my swimsuits in slightly less than two weeks I believe but the time frame they gave for delievery was four weeks or less so there is that part of not knowing until they show up.
I have seen suits at E-mart but even if it is a bikini top the bottom will be a skirt. Good luck finding one. |

The wife had always been looking for a bikini but never found one that looked good in Seoul. Just never anything that fit her style so she just got one custom made in Itaewon. It was 60,000.
She just told the lady what she wanted, made some drawings and chose the color. It took a week and i must say it looks great. Some of her friends were in fitness contests and they get their competition suits made there. It took a week to get done. There are at least three or four shops that can do it. If you take a korean speaker with you I'm sure it will turn out great... |

wasn't me, but they have cute suits.
also, if you have a suit you like right now and it's a major brand, see if they ship internationally. at least you might know your sizing. |
