Can anyone help me find a swimsuit?

Right, I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks and will be required to swim! I'm in the process of losing weight, so don't have a costume that fits me at the moment, but also don't want to spend too much on something that (hopefully) won't fit for too long.

I'm a 12/14 at the bottom, and busty up top (36E) so need something with proper cup sizes and support. Ideally with straps rather than halterneck. Not that fussed about colours, but would prefer something that wasn't plain black, and tummy support would also be a bonus!

Am I searching for the Holy Grail?

Bravissimo is good for support, but tends to be expensive...
cheapy option is Matalan - £8 i think for a maternity cossie, navy or red with white stripes... I'm a similar size with whoppers too, and finding top and bottom to fit in one go is a bit of a mission...
Or a maternity tankini (one of my gfs at Aquanatal wears one, but I'm not sure where it's from sorry!) to get your boobs accomodated. Good luck! xxxx

Check out TK Maxx - they have some great swimsuits on there at the mo

Look at the tummy control range at marks and spencer. I bought 2 recently which saved me a fortune as I was heading to bravissimo. I had to go up a size for the norms but it was still very flattering. £29 from memory.

I just bought the freya supernova in black and gold on ebay and it's amazing!

it was brand new (just in case anyone thinks I bought a used swimsuit)
