Its not my personal taste but im not brave enough to wear any bikini! lol

If you like it go for it, i personally wouldnt pay that much for a bikini unless i lived somewhere hot enough to wear it alot or swam alot.

anthonykiedisbitontheside · 26/07/2006 21:52

I like that alot. Unfortunatley I can't wear a bikini again even if I slim down thanks to a road map of stretch marks.

am always staggered people will pay such prices for a bikini.

It is nice but 88 smackeroonies? - I don't think so!

NotAnOtter · 26/07/2006 21:54

*you're

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 26/07/2006 21:57

the push up one looks more flattering

Bozza · 26/07/2006 22:01

Just got one in Matalan for £3.

psychomum5 · 26/07/2006 22:06

I wouldn't pay that much, but only cos I can't. I do like it tho.

a for what its worth, if you like yourself in a bikini then that is all that matters.

I have five, and I wear bikinis too. got mine in next and tesco this year. next was under £20, tesco was less than £5 (was sale in tesco tho). I like halterneck bikini's tho personally, altho should I have still been breastfeeding then the one you have shown is much better.

I'm with beef - just wouldn't dream of paying that for a bikini.

It's nice because it's dry, white fabric do funny things when wet so check TWICE to see if it has a double layer of fabric all around.

Chandra · 26/07/2006 22:16

P.S. I paid about that money for a swimming suit some months ago and I still hate myself everytime I find it in my drawer.

CarolinaMoose · 26/07/2006 22:20

it wants to not go see thru for that money

I am still pissed off that I paid £40 for a bikini I wore twice before ds's birth. May never wear a bikini again due to ruined-knitting belly and cs overhang.

MrsSpoon · 26/07/2006 22:20

If it is a good fit, you look fab in it after five babies and can afford it then go for it!

NotAnOtter · 26/07/2006 22:49

so thats 50% each way then!

LuluPuiMingPants · 26/07/2006 22:59

If you like it and can afford it, why not?

I think it's pretty but I would never ever pay that much for a swimming cossie (and would look shite in it into the bargain)

psychomum5 · 26/07/2006 23:00

notanotter....do you like it???
can you afford it???

yes to both means GO FOR IT.

If I could afford it and loved it then I would!!!

HTH

I love it! If you love it, go for it! I am a firm believer in that if you feel good in it then have it. Something you feel great in can do so much for self-esteem!

wibblewobblebibblebobble · 26/07/2006 23:18
