Tried three on today; all awful. Am spiralling into self loathing and need help - we go away next week! The problem is, I have a very very very flat chest, which I disguise with heavily padded bras usually.

Any ideas? I'm a size 6/8 and pale skinned, early 30s. Bra size 30A. Don't mind spending silly money on something that makes me look good.

Will really appreciate any suggestions.

One last try! Really do feel like a freak now that none of you can suggest anything at all for me to try...

Can't help, but bumping for you.
I have the opposite problem - G cup so need serious scaffolding. Would love to be size 6/8 and an A cup - I guess we always want what we don't have!

Blue where in the country are you based? I think you need to go and try them on rather than order on line....if you are in/near London then I can suggest some shops I know of!

If you dont have time etc then figleaves.com has a good selection of different brands and designers and then you can also filter by size...

Try La Senza. They do some pretty padded ones. And ones with ruffles are good if you want to give the illusion of bigger breasts.

Sainsburys have some really nice bikinis in store at the moment - I got two last week that are lovely.

Most of their range have padded inserts, and there were some nice ruffly ones too. Also if you are quite flat chested go for ones with lots of ruching or detail on the top.

I bought this one which looks great on

Have a look at the Little Women website. Bikinis and lingerie in small sizes.

Thanks, all. Really appreciate your suggestions.

You're so right about always wanting what you haven't got... I would love to be curvier but should just accept the way I am, I suppose!

Going to go and look at some sites now. I'm in Nottingham so can't get to London, sadly.

Thanks again.
