Swimsuit for the pear shaped figure....

[winniewoo]

Can anyone find me one? No boobs, big hips and bum, waist my only good feature!!
Know all the usual..black flattering etc on bottom half and eye-catching on top half...but what should the top be like..halter-neck?..scoop neck??..inbuilt bra??
Ideas much appreciated! Thanks

anyone?

no??

If good waist might be worth thinking about a bikini - boy shorts in dark colour and fantastically spangly and/or patterned top.
If boobs are just small, try padded cleavage-boosting underwired top, possibly with halterneck.
If chest is actually flat and has nothing to boost, triangle-type top may be better but halterneck def good.

to make most of waist what about a cut-out shape. not the best example, but something like \link{http://www.marksandspencer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=6941&Product_Id=2003238\this?}

btw don't want to appear contrary with mrsbadger, but boy shorts would emphasise big hips/bum, imho, best to go for high cut legs to make legs look longer. (just my opinion of course!)

Thanks for the ideas..will keep working on it!..Need to get online and hunt..

no worries Moomin - on a previous What Swimsuit thread I suggested highcut legs to slim big hips and was shot down in flames in favour of boylegs, so assumed I must be wrong. Will stick to my guns next time!

I know if you've got big bum and big hips you might feel like covering them up by wearing boyshorts but i think it's best to bite the bullet and go with the high legs. Only very tall leggy types or small very skinny legs suit boy shorts, much as they are very comfortable. but there again if you feel self-conscious in high legs, even if they look better, you might not be any better off! I'm past caring now - I wear what's comfortable and largely inoffensive!

the thing is you are never going to hide the fact that you are pear shaped....and it aint so bad !!(she says sounding brash and confident!)

i am hilariously pear shaped...completely flat chested and bony with a round butt and thighs to match..

i agree with teh boy short thing...stay away..they shorten your legs! (horror!)

ive found ...oh god this is going to sound so cocky ...that actually a really skimpy bikini works best...and is strangely flattering!

so triangley string tied top and tie up at the sides bottoms.bingo.

knock em dead xx

Beansontoast - i agree - I'm past my sell-buy date and i find the tie-sided bottoms the best, mainly coz you can tie em loose so they don't dig in. I wear halter tops coz ive been cursed with big tits and need loads of support. But, yes, stringy bottoms are surprisingly better than substantial shorts.
