I bought this for my holidays yesterday.

I can barely put into words how flattering it is on my size 14 lumps curves. Particularly on the stomach. And it's so pretty!

Just wanted to share Smile

Thank you, thank you. Wanted a (cheapish) swimming costume and this looks great. Will investigate.

It looks lovely, but the smallest size is a 10Sad Even slim girls appreciate a bit of tummy control, post children.

I can post a pic of me wearing it if anyone feels they would benefit from a pasty visual aid Grin.

I'd go for the 14 MrsLettuce. There is still loads of stretch with my knockers in.

And a 16 would be too baggy everywhere else.

Ahh-just realised its 20% off all swimwear-so i didnt get the paypal discount-but this instead.
Im between sizes i think-so went bigger-could be a mistake!

I MUST have one but am flummoxed about what size I need Hmm

Measured today and looked at their size chart, says my hips are a 12 (yay!). 'waist' a 16 (started my period today though). norks in a bra are also a 16 (not swolen ATM, very, very squishy in nature, pendulous).

So, WTF size do I go for? A 14?? DOn't want it hanging off my arse but would also like to be able to breathe. I'm not in the UK so DM will have to order it and send it over, needs to be as right as it's getting first time.

Help?

Oh thank you! Have been looking for a flattering swimsuit for my post baby body as we're planning on taking DD swimming for the first time next week. Have ordered this in black!

Thank you! Peacocks is a mile away from me, so I am going in a minute! If it's a good 'un, my Mum and eveyone else will get to hear about it.
I bought some Italian leather wedges from there (they had a shop in "Woolworths") years ago so cheaply and they must have lasted 6 summers at least.

Great thread! Just like to mention as well, there are some beauties in Sainsburys too, very similar style for £15! Available in a few colours and polka dot and a Aztec print. Havent tried them on yet, but they look nice and flattering - i need something to hold my tummy in that doesnt look a bit, ahem old lady swimsuity. Great price so may be worth a look! Smile

I've just ordered this as I've been searching high and low for an affordable 50s style swimsuit for ages. Went for the pink. There's a code for 20% off if you use paypal PAYPAL20 which I couldn't get to work for ages but it seems to have worked now.
Thanks OP-hope its as flattering on me-eek Smile
