Swimsuits I Wouldn't Be Caught Dead In

Summer is fast approaching and that means it's time to start the sometimes stressful swimsuit shopping! Face it; most of us have at least a tiny spark of dread when we start rifling through the racks of bathing suits. And hitting the beach for the first time in our choice often takes nerves of steel!

To help us all put things in perspective and inject a bit of fun, tell us about a swimsuit you've tried on or seen that you absolutely wouldn't be caught dead in ... and why! Your responses may be used in a future iVillage feature.
