I love the Esther Williams ones but can't really justify the price. I like the halterneck style ones . Any decent ones around this season pls ?

Is this any cheaper?

I hope this works

I think this is beautiful, there are some fabulous swimsuits on Etsy.

another 50's[

BuzzardBird · 01/05/2014 10:22

the best!

BuzzardBird · 01/05/2014 10:23

The last one didn't work, it should have been red. For this price you could have a few!

BuzzardBird · 01/05/2014 10:24

I apologise, a lot of those have come through as the same costume, there are loads of 50's inspired swimsuits on their site though...even 2 pieces.

BustleInYourHedgerow · 01/05/2014 12:51

Primal, it's lovely thanks but out of my budget, sorry should have been clearer on that!

Looking to spend about 30 at most I think.

Tersa - thanks, they look fab but I wonder would I get stung for customs on those ?

Blizzard, I like the look of the red one maybe bit I'd prefer a plainer pattern so I can um, hide in the corner somewhere...

This is lovely but not quite 50s style

They do it in other colours too.

BuzzardBird · 01/05/2014 13:20

No Bustle, there is a plain red one on page 2 of their site. I thought I had posted it but it didn't work.

this one

BuzzardBird · 01/05/2014 13:22

the page

I was in Next yesterday and they had some lovely ones. I'd also try TK Maxx on line or in store as they had a good selection last week.

TheZeeTeam · 01/05/2014 13:28

I have the red halter neck Esther Williams one and it was worth every cent. I wore it all last summer and it still looks as good as new. So, if there is any chance you can stretch to it, I highly recommend!

RiojaHaze · 01/05/2014 13:28

The Kelly Brook range for New Look are a bit '50s and well priced.

Hebburnisaplaceonearth · 01/05/2014 13:34

Bravissimo have one here

Buzz thanks that's perfect! I'll get it :) Zee, unfortunately I just don't get a chance to swim that much, I've been three times this year so I don't think it's worth it. Maybe if I get a bit of spare cash.

Thanks everyone for your help. :)

BustleInYourHedgerow · 02/05/2014 09:15

Ooh rp nd his bouncy locks. I often see one of the short stingy boys from westlife. That's not quite the same, is it? I need to move Grin
