Is this too Victorian bathing suit?

[Pagwatch]

Bought a swimsuit for hols in a few weeks.
I have bikinis but need a suit for snorkelling, swimming with the children etc.

I have long body, pear shaped and no boobs. Size 10 - 12.

this is long enough and has shaped cups, plus the bandeau style balances my hips
but can I carry it off? would you point and laugh?

It's lovely, especially with a bit of a tan. Am really liking the bandeau style.

I love vintage style swimwear, it's really nice.

I love it. It's the sort of thing I am looking for at the moment, so thanks for the link!

its lovely!

Oh good, no snorting and pointing so far.

Tbh it will just be nice to have a suit that I don't have to keep hoiking out of my bum because the body is too short.

Thanks .

at her legs!

I like

It's very nice. I always have something with shorts style legs because my bikini line is like a forest it's much more flattering.

only kidding, it's lovely. Though I am also a pear and have found some 'boylegs' a tad unflattering.

So true about the joys of a properly long-bodied cossie though...

It's lovely.

Absolutely gorgeous....! I'd wear it but, have you got long limbs? Sometimes, those shorts styleee ones can make you look stumpy. I speak for myself, here.

Gorgeous - I want one!!! (May well order one, lol so thanks) xx

Oooh that's lovely, though the model looks deranged.

and wonders if pagwatch remembers her and a long ago waving arrangement.

V nice, Paggy. I like that style meself.

ha i can't look cos it is blocked as lingerie/ swimwear at work

but - depending where you are going/ how strong the sun is - a surfing rash vest can be good for snorkelling (as it can be quite easy to burn your back while you are face down in the water). i wore a rash vest (actually a nylony t-shirt not a vest) and some boardshorts - over whatever bikini/ swimsuit when i went.

so something like

I like it, but if you are going to swim a lot and you have big norks, the weight on the halter neck might give you back ache ( voice of experience!) but I have a similar boden one I love for "swimming" with the kids and I love it- saves having to do bikini line too!

Sorry missed you saying no boobs! Still good not to have to wax though!

I love it.

You have my body

I love it and you could wear with little cardi and plimsolls to bat etc and not feel like you are hanging out iykwim

Love that site esp the long dress

Thanks.
And enjoying prospect of waxing avoidance. I hadn't thought of that. I can take a small comb to at least be neat.

And flowers, Pag. Don't forget the flowers.

Of course hully. You are my style guru.
