Living vicariously - need a swimsuit

4 replies

OK, my sister's birthday is coming up and I'd like to get her a swimsuit/ tankini/ bikini for her birthday as she has 2 holidays booked. Needs to be from somewhere where she could change it.

It's horrible swimsuit shopping for myself, but she has a fab figure, size 10 on top/ waist and size 12 hips, flat tummy etc. etc.

Had a look at M & S and Debenhams, but they all seem a bit...meh. Any recommendations for something a bit funkier? She's mid 30's and wouldn't want to be too revealing (one hol is with her IL's).

What about a voucher for Figleaves so she could choose her own? I have bought a few from there and been very impressed with the choice andservice.

I think its a lovely idea but IMHO swimsuit shopping is best done by the wearer- I, for example, look quite passable in some bikinis but like a sack of spuds in others. Even though you think she has a fab figure she might be a bit more self-concious?

Anyway just a thought.

I know, was thinking best done by her, but just know she probably won't treat herself. Maybe a voucher, but we don't generally do vouchers (changing something is very acceptable though Grin)! Are there any figleaves shops or do you need to do it all online?

What about this company? www.pualanihawaii.com/StoreFront.bok
I've got a fantastic tankini from there, that fits like a dream and gives me a lovely shape.
