Buying a bathing suit has never been an 'easy fit' for me. With Tina, I walk in, she finds out what I'm looking for, she suggests 4 suits, and, 20 minutes later, I walk out with at least 1, often 2, suits! What could be easier? She knows her stuff, is very helpful with finding the right suit, the whole experience couldn't be better! I used to HATE buying bathing suits...now, it's a joy!

TIINA'S FINE LINGERIE AND SWIMWEAR, 394 Main St. -- This year and last year have been bad -- all reflectve of the economy," said Tina Lun, part-owner of the store. "We've been in business 19 years and this is the worst I've seen it. What we sell is not a need, so people need extra income. Thankfully, we have loyal customers, which helps. Our swimsuit and custom-fitted bra business have kept us afloat." Credit Robin Woodworth
