Dear Ms. Jo:

I found three websites that may interest you:

1. cosmopolitan. com/ style-beauty/ fashion/ swimsuits dilemmas solved (no spaces):

“10 Common Swimsuit Shopping Problems- Solved!….4. ‘How do I find a white swimsuit that isn’t see-through?… White swimsuits are tough.. Prints and texture can provide some camouflage on flimsier suits, but if you have fair skin with dark hair or dark nipples, that may not be enough. First and foremost, you need to check that your swimsuit is properly lined. Next, make sure the white fabric is nice and thick with a tight weave, since flimsy fabrics are much more likely to end up turning transparent when wet. And keep in mind that thicker fabrics are often more expensive, so you may need to spend a little extra to get what you want.”

2) the list. com/ prevent swimsuit disaster: “Stylist Erica Paige thinks that if you’re trying to save money on swimwear, you’re probably going to have to save yourself from a swimsuit disaster. A bargain isn’t exactly a bargain, in the long run. She told me that flimsy fabric just doesn’t fit right. ‘We all see those people at the beach or the pool wearing an ill-fitting swimsuit.. Don’t be cheap when it comes to swimwear. There’s nothing worse than wearing a swimsuit that suddenly appears see-through when wet. Buying a more expensive high quality suit keeps you from having wardrobe malfunctions.’ Paige equates high quality fabric with high quality of fit. ‘The fabric typically dries faster, and fits better.'”

3) glamour. com/gallery/ 10 white swimsuits that aren’t see through when wet: ” white swimsuit.. are notoriously see-through once they hit the water. Since no  one wants to find out they’re practically naked when wet (and it’s not exactly the type of thing you can try before you buy), we did the legwork for you. We tested dozens of white swimsuits for style, fit, and, of course, the sheer factor. Of the nearly 100 we tested, we stand by these 10 suits and their perfect opaqueness…”

* I am sure that what’s true to white swimsuit fabric is also true to beige. (I hope this post gets submitted successfully, the previous one is awaiting moderation because I copied material from websites, it is the same as this one, with minor changes).
