I bought a miraclesuit swimming costume and it looks awful!

I read loads of great reviews for them, saved up and bought one expecting to look like Kelly Brooke 10lbs lighter and have some sort of shape rather than like a blob when I go on holiday in May, but it's a disaster! Boobs look terrible (I'm a 32F according to bravissimo but I'm not convinced), stomach looks, well it looks like I've had 4 children, which I have, so that's not shocking but I thought it would work it's magic, I'm really disappointed. I saved up for it and was looking forward to seeing curves.

I'm 5,5 and a size 16 since having my youngest 12 months ago, so I should expect the inevitable really.

I need an underwired swimsuit with lots of ruching I think, any recommendations?

If you can find this in your size, it will make your boobs look so amazing no one will notice a little bit of belly! It's underwired and comes with a strap. Not ruched though but a flattering cut. Also comes in other colours

I agree the longer legs are making your bottom half bigger than it actually is and shortening your legs.

I think the swimsuit in the OP is too fussy and would detract from those fantastic boobs of yours. I think you want something with the same top shape as your polka dot one, but with higher legs and some subtle rucking across the tummy.

Your figure is lovely. I would second the Esther Williams and agree the shorts are unflattering (though very practical). I think you have to be model skinny to pull off those shorts-all in ones or have one if those really angular figures.

If you do want the shorts, buy a separate pair of board shorts to go over a bikini or summing costume. The breaking up of the fabrics is more flattering in my opinion.

Thank you whereisshe for that link, I have an extremely botched CS stomach and think these might help flatten it out a bit? GP not interested in helping even though still sore after 7 years!
Inspiration I looked at the Peacocks site and they have some really lovely swim dresses on there that are completely loose in the stomach area (fall from bust, baby doll style) that might suit you for only £22!

Absolutely lovely figure OP.
I would hold my head up, get my eyebrows and a mani/pedi done - and rock any of these lovely suggestions.
I have been looking at them, and wishing I had the confidence to wear one. I don't do swimming of any kind Sad due to body issues.
Enjoy your holiday, even it is it with the ex Smile
