Boden cossie-worth the money?

Need a swimsuit, 5ft9, flabby tummy, B cup, long in the body. Thought I'd treat myself to a Boden swimsuit (60 quid??!! Gulp) Are they worth the money, flattering, comfy, fit well? Just tried on about 10 from Next including an expensive Speedo, and still looking.....

if its the tummy toner type one - i got one and think its v good quality (compared to a lot of Boden stuff) and does 'shape' so worth it. You are smaller in the boobage than me and the only thing i found is that I rather I am d cup or F cup in new MN boob money

Ha ha Kingfisher, was said in a whisper?! That's how I read it! Thanks for that. Should have said I'm a size 14. Reckon I need to pay dear, rather than buy cheap, iyswim.

OK, first things first, are you definitely a B cup?

Bravissimo, Panache, Freya, Curvy Kate and Cleo all do great swimwear, most of which is a bit cheaper than Boden.

I've got the blue polka dot tummy control one. All the reviews said to size up but I needed my usual size 12. Agree in the boob overflow - I'm D cup or F in Bravissimo/proper measurements and found the cups a bit big (although boobs knackered up top from bf). Lovely quality cossie and good coverage on the bum (no overhanging cheeks).

I've got a Boden cossie and a tankini from previous seasons, they are both v good quality. I did get them both in the sale though, if you get one make sure you use a code. A48Y should give you 15% off and free delivery and returns, though there might be a better code floating around.

I am also long in the body and found Boden suits a touch too short. My boobs kept falling out.

LightastheBreeze · 30/05/2014 17:18

There is one on there which is also comes in long length, I'm hoping its still there in the sale as I don't actually need a swimsuit but I like itSmile as I'm long in the body also. I usually buy M & S or BHS long length. I think I was lucky with the Boden one I bought as it fitted, the tankini came up long also, some are short going by the reviews. I'm 5ft 10.

Super, thanks for the code Light.
