Because I am struggling, DD is 18m and I am still wearing my maternity one

The lands end ones are great really long, but expensive and not that fashionable - incredible quality and good sales though.
I have just bought the Next body shaper one with the shorts style bottems- very good for tummy control, but I had to pull it down a little.
The latest longtallsally one looks lovely.

Will look at lands end thanks. Next may be more within budget though. I was looking at the body shaper one actually is it still quite short then? Can you remember what colours it comes in?

I saw the long tall sally one I was so excited to see they do swimwear but I could tell it would look awful on me. I quite fancy something bright green or coral with spots or something. I sound bonkers don't I?!

I have this one. Its covers my whole tummy.

There is a longer one that is also from Sweaty Betty but I was unsure about the print.

Thanks artichoke I've never been on that site before I love the first one actually. Am same on second though not sure about the print. I'm 5.10 so should cover me up too.

Its a good brand. Well made. A bit pricey though.

We have a branch v near us so I tried both on. The brown one is longer but they are both a really good length. I have the little shorts that match the blue tankini.

i've just been looking through the sale as the bikini bottoms are a bit pricey actually. Good bargains in the sale but so hard to see what matches. I will go back and check if there's a shop near me...

How disappointing there isn't one near by! What are the sizes like? I'm a 12 usually.

If I were choosing something from the sale stuff to go with the blue tankini top I would choose this one.

I am a 12 (maybe more of a 12/14 than a 10/12 ). I got the large size.

Oh wow thanks may well order. Am quite taken with the 70's blue marina tankini in the sale as it has padded bits but I'd have to get a large and that may be too big I think? I am quite small up top now, since having dd I am not only a stone heavier but my cup size has gone DOWN, the cruelty!

I know exactly where you are coming from on the post birth weight gain, cup size loss. It sucks.

I hope you find something you like. You sound like you need a Medium.

Actually it was a coral ish top that was padded they called the colour watermelon I think can't find it now. Not sure if I like it more because its in the sale though!

Thanks it is crap. I actually really love the one that you've got may splash out. Or have a trip to London that would be even better then I can try it all on.
