I need a swimming costume & a bikini (or two).

Swimming costume must be non-frumpy (if that's possible?), have some sort of padding/shape up top, not halter neck. budget around £30ish.

Bikini - some sort of cleavage enhancing top (but not padded to the extent that it looks daft), not halterneck, ideally detachable straps, bottoms must not be too skimpy or too frumpy (not string bikini). Budget around £30ish.

Size 10, 35yrs old, small boobs, stomach has seen better days (but isn't horrendous).

Please help!

You won't get one at this price but if you buy just one Esther Williams bikini, that will do the trick! Check them out.

For swimming costumes, check out the new Speedo ranges. They're the best.

thanks so far, any more ideas let me know! Don't think the Esther Williams ones are for me as I need bottoms to be high leg to stop me looking dumpy, thanks though

I tried on a lot of one pieces this Summer, but the one that looked amazing on my less than perfect body was a style called twist by Moontide. It cost about £50 from an independent shop, but I suspect you'd be able to find one reduced at this time of year. Mine's black, but I've seen it in turquoise and a floral pattern. The shop owner said she'd had to reorder several times because once customers tried it on, they didn't bother trying any others (neither did I!).
