Hellllooooo

I'm on the lookout for a new swimming costume. I'm a 22yr old, 5'7", 12/14 (12 is tight and 14 is often roomy), 32E. I'd love a halterneck type one, but ideally it'd have to have some sort of built in scaffolding in the way of boob support (a tummy panel type thing would be a bonus, too). MUST BE ONE PIECE, my stretchmarked saggy belly is NOT for public consumption !!! Not fussy on colour (doesn't have to be black) or make.

Most of the 1 pce suits I've seeen have been quite frumpy or have had some sort of sporty insignia (yuck) . Whilst I'm no Sharron Davies swimmer (sporty ones), nor am I an octogenarian doggy paddler ! HELPPPPPPP. I would say that my budget is around £35 and ideally I can buy it off the net from a trusted supllier with a free returns service.

TIA !

I'd prefer a one pce ,coddy, TBH. I like that 3rd link, it is expensive though, more than I'd earmarked (ie more than I can safely slip onto the Visa card without DH noticing !!!)

JeniN · 12/06/2004 15:31

didn't look at the other links posted, but have you checked bravissimo.com? Good for scaffolding in swimming costumes...

codswallop · 12/06/2004 15:32

I like the top left of htose Liz

codswallop · 12/06/2004 15:33

not sure if I liket he print

SoupDragon · 12/06/2004 15:51

Debenhams?

oxocube · 12/06/2004 15:54

I've also just ordered two bikinis from bravissimo as I am a size 12 but with 34 DD bust that needs much support! Cost over £100 for the two inc delivery so is expensive, but if they are good, they will last years. P.s. If you read this Pete, (my DH and Mumsnet lurker, blame Coddy - she made me do it!)

SoupDragon · 12/06/2004 15:55

Debenhams again. Can't really se it well om my screen though.

Not sure about this one but it has "control panels"!

SoupDragon · 12/06/2004 15:56

Mine are the same as Lizs ones. I liked the first one - the blue underwired one at £15.

Demented · 13/06/2004 14:04

Coddy, why is the second Figleaves cossie not available in an E cup?

codswallop · 13/06/2004 18:52
