Help me please! Legsuit swimming costume for hourglass figure.

Having lost a bit of weight recently I'm not almost ready to bare my body in a swimming costume to try to get a bit fitter. [scared]

I want a legsuit so that I don't have to worry so much about bikini lines and my arse hanging out. The problem is my shape doesn't seem to fit the swimming costumes.

I'm pretty much a 12 bottom (just) but with 32G breasts. If the cossie fits me on the waist (which is narrow and the bit I want to emphasise, as opposed to my sturdy bottom and thighs) then I'm spilling out all around the bust. And not in an attractive way - I like a bit of cleavage but not bulges on the outside of the straps sort of thing!

I tried on a few and this Speedo one was the best, but my breast were still trying to escape. I don't want to go up to a 14 as it would be really baggy on the waist and I'm still losing weight. Also, my breasts aren't the most pert and need scaffolding support.

I like the style of this V necked Zoggs one but haven't found it anywhere to try on. Does anyone know what sort of fit it is and whether it's a bit more generous in the bust fitting? Or of any other legsuits which are more generously cut in the bust? I don't want to waste money ordering it and then having to return it if it doesn't fit.

Any advice much appreciated! Smile

Thanks again for all your suggestions and replies. Banoffee I tried on the zoggs v-necked one last week... they only had a 10 and not in the legsuit version, but I think the 12 would be a good fit and the shape around the bust was much better - a better fit in a 10 on the bust than the others were in a 12, even. It must be that the cut is better for my shape.

Whoop whoop, ordered online and it fits perfectly! Now I have no excuse not to go swimming. Hmm Grin

Thanks again all.

Crabby snap! Freya.
Don't worry about your legs - shorts will probably bring more & not less attention to your backside. Think I've never seen shorts on anyone unless under 5yrs or by hot lifeguard men at local baths Smile
