Holiday clothes

Off to florida in October. I'm size 14 and chubby and not feeling overly confident with clothing. I need swimming, beach wear and also night wear. Looking for advice please. Flattering swimwear? Cover up? Think I need a false tan too....

Is it a Bikini or a swimming costume you would like?

I got a plain black costume from Matalan recently and love it!

There aren't many left in stores as it's end of season.

Looks really boring but I tried about 30 on and I felt ok in it.

Good luck!! I’ve done 16,000 steps today around town looking for a swimsuit as we go on hol v soon and I’ve left it too late. Nothing left in the shops, so try next or asos now would be my advice!

These are very nice, with a little ruffle to flatter tums, and shorts that flatter.

If you are going to Florida you will feel like Barbie when you get there.

@Libre55 I think that's what I need- I think I'll be comfy in them. Do you find them true to size? I'm 12 on top 14 on bottoms so would a 14 fit?
@Qik oo tell me more! Not many place I will feel like Barbie!

I found them true to size. The beauty of Amazon, you can try on at home. I would get a 14, better to have the top generous, than the bottoms too tight. They dry really quickly when you are wearing them too, so if you have a sarong you can just tie it round your waist to go in a restaurant etc
