OK, so where can I buy a bikini at this late stage......

I know, I know, all the sales are almost over, we're supposed to be buying our AW wardrobe, but I for one have never shopped like that; I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks and I need a bikini.

There is nothing anywhere. I've ordered a couple from Asos, and am waiting for them. M&S have nothing, John Lewis have nothing, Next have nothing. Tried Boden ones last year and they didn't hold my boobs.

Am sure some of you must know of somewhere I haven't thought of that still has some stock of plainish bikinis with good support. I'm not looking for anything fancy or fashionable.....OK, I know I don't belong in Style and Beauty, have just popped in.

Any ideas welcome, ta in advance...

Asos and figleaves have a good service

I was in Boots today and they had loads.

I got a few from debenhams last week. They had some lowly ones in.

Amaxapax · 26/07/2013 18:26

I got mine on Wednesday in Debenhams. Still a reasonable selection, all on sale, and lots with underwires, which I consider vital.

elvisola · 26/07/2013 18:36

I got a plain black and plain pink one from Tesco this week.

I got one in Debenhams yesterday. 70% off, got a Matthew Williamson one for £10. Top alone supposed to be £25!

Saw some today in New Look, not sure what the quality is like though.

My friend used to work for Monsoon/Accessorize, they get their bikinis from the same supplier as Primark ;-)

BendyBusBuggy · 26/07/2013 18:47

www.cocosa.com/

They deliver really quickly and have different swimwear sales on every couple of days

I got a few in French connection a few weeks ago

mrsbabookaloo · 26/07/2013 20:24

Ooh, left the thread during teatime/bathtime/bedtime, and lots more great suggestions! Thanks! Boots?! Never would have thought of that....

...French connection... all string bikinis! I should have said am nearly 40 with big boobs, and need something, not frumpy, but definitely not sexy!

French connection - not at all, I brought a halter neck style one with non string briefs. And a strapless one again with regular briefs. Both in sale.

Somewhere like asos/ John Lewis/ house of fraser all online might give you some ideas and then you can go Instore of you want to see something particular.
