Swimwear help needed please!!!

[chocolateshoes]

This year I really need some decent swimwear. I'm a size 12 ish with a flabby stomach that needs dealing with. I want something that looks good despite the fact that I won't be very tanned probably at the start of the summer. Not keen on tankinis as I always find the top rides up and releases the flab. Please find me something flattering!!!

Swimming costumes are the work of the devil. But i suspect that's more because i'm a size 16+ish

M&S have some nice ones - they have "tankinis" that are actually all in ones if you get what i mean.

They also have others that have reinforced panelling to hold in flabby stomach.

Land's End are good especially the ones with ruched waistbands

oooh thank you - will go and have a look at M&S and definately hadn't thought of landsEnd

while you are looking if you see anything half decent in a 16 long body give me a shout. BHS used to do fairly trendy ones but now not

I agree with Lands End. The downside is you will get their normal clothes catalogue forever, which is filled with the frumpiest clothes you've ever seen, but their swimwear is excellent. Not cheap though.

had no idea they had swimwear...but there's loads...unfrotunately they all make me feel old....I want to feel a bit trendier iykwim. Saw a nice bikini on M&S....might order it.....I hate swimwear shopping - makes me feel so crap about myself.

the only reason to shop at next

figleaves has a HUGE selection.
