Black bikini - not as simple as it should be

[monkeysmama]

I go on holiday next week.

I want a black bikini that makes me feel nice (this may be an oxymoron).

I am a 34F and a 12 in bottoms. I need a fair bit of lift in the top.

I can't get to the shops to try on so need to order on line. I've had a look at a few bit haven't found any that fit the bill.

TIA.

figleaves 34F however, finding a matching bottom is another story!
I like the pour moi fern one.

Thanks Morag. I've already ordered the last Pour Moi one but it is the only one I've seen I like.

I want something black and plain really as I already have a blue spotty one and an animal print one.

I've got the Freya Carousel balcony in a 34F with these bottoms which lifts my saggy boobs brilliantly AND hides my jelly belly
The Freya and Fantasie balcony styles are usually cut on the same pattern so the Fantasie Orlando should do the trick I reckon.

Sounds promising. I may order and try it on.

M&S?

having bought both the M&S and Panache tankinis to try on I can confirm that they are the same!
Therefore I've deduced that any big cup swimwear will be prob be made to same standards i.e. excellent. Style

Am fussy - don't like the white bits on that M&S one. What I really want is a bikini that makes me feel young and svelte.

Yeah, me too!
Have just tried on a midnight grace polka dots one which will be wining it's way back to Figleaves later!
Too young and frilly. DD might've liked it but I didn't.

I know what you mean, wanting to feel young and fab myself... the freya cabaret bikini should be out in black by now but I can't find it... only in pink.

sorry moragbellingham did you say that the M&S tankini and the panache tankini are the same?! I have been looking for basic tankini, was going to get the panache one ... won't bother if M&S identical and over £10 cheaper!
