i usually go skimpy...but this swimming cossie has me wondering

[beansontoast]

the other day i was positing the virtues of SKIMPY swimwear when you are pear shaped....

but ive just seen this... could this be the coolest thing ever? ....and i think its ace!...in a slightly 'margo'kind of way...or is it really cool in a uber groovy way.

i know i love it either way

It is really nice but all my saggy bits would just ooze out of the sides!!

don't like it - sorry. I think you could possibly look nice in it if you were in your early 20s with a fantastic figure (which of course you might be for all I know)

reality check...im 35!

Then I would say no, sorry.

that would fall off my shoulders - do you think it would have enough support?

I also think the front looks a bit weird although maybe it's because of the strange mannequin

£20? bargain. cutout styles are really really in this year (i work for a company that sells swimwear - no as great value as this tho!)

oh katierocket...the voice of reason

i dont need much support...if any! i thought it might create an illusion of boobage?

the rest if the site looks really cheap too!

\link {http://www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp?product_id=FBF-9374\i love this} but really couldnt get away with it

ack pants..try again.. i love this

Well you know beans - I only have your best interests at heart . Cutaways may be fashionable but that doesn't mean they're right for everyone (as with so much that is fashionable).

sorry lmcream but I think that's just tacky

im humbled by your discipline kr!

thanks for the links ...going there now.

mnet really slow today!

i like both of ehm

i like it...but strapless wont do my bony chest any favours...and if im doing cut out its going to have to be black and white

im sooo 35

funny how the cut out ones are mych sexier than the bikinis really

no good for my fat tho

it looks liek an arrow...pointing 'there' thats why

what awful tan lines you would have wearing that!

I don't mind the black and white one, just think you have to be twiggyesque to wear it and look good.

like it though...like it alot.

however i susppect it would seperate my body into three ever increasing stacked tyres

i like them all (would wear them all if i had that body) but sadly i would just look like a saggy tyer

I think that m and s one is very sexy

There were some black cut out swimsuits in Ann Summers sale for £5 - I couldn't get away with them though!

i really do like them..i have recently lost weight and know i could wear one but wouldn't have the guts too tbh! As i said before i would also worry about the tan lines..but then again i suppose its more of a posing swimsuit rather than a sun bathing one!

This so isn't my topic area, but I have two distinct advantages over all the posters on this thread which make my opinion VERY valuable.

1. I have met Botty.

2. I am a bloke.

My conclusion, in respect of the aforelinked swimsuit is that Ms. Botty would have ZERO problem wearing it. You've got a great figure and you'd carry it off just FINE and would look great in it. So you jolly well go for it, old bean.
