Do miracles really exist (in swimsuit form)?

Need a swimsuit to work miracles. Have a flat bum, saggy tum and formerly voluptuous bosom that is heading south after having two babies close together.

Tried one of those fifties style costumes but think they'd look better on an hourglass than an apple. Bit baggy round the bum.

Wondering about ordering a load of sizes from Lands End, maybe Spanx swimwear (are the high prices really worth it?), speedo sculpting... Any other suggestions? Anyone with big boobs (I'm a 32 E) had any luck with a miraclesuit? Again not sure if the eye watering prices worth it....

Bunbaker It's part of the fun of holiday preparation! I buy two or three, or four new for my hols and wear the older ones for gardening (weather permitting). Smile

We only go away for a week. Last week I only wore one bikini all week. It got rinsed out every evening and was dry by morning.

Try a tankini. Then you can customize the bottoms and the top to get a size that fits perfectly.

You garden in your swimsuit mimi?

Love it -I'm up in Scotland -you don't see that often :)

I found M&S not very supportive for a 32E post natal chest, although the ruching was good (good enough to buy a swimsuit!).

Boden (currently 300% off) swimwear I found, covers a saggy bum,wobbly tum,empty boob type figure! The support is not amazing but sometimes I like to wear a a non-underwired suit.The cross-over effecy works wonders.

I thought a miracle suit would be amazing and tried one on in TKMaxx but was sorely disappointed. Don't splash out full-price as they arent that good IMO.

Good reports about Magisculpt from Marisota and also on sale at the mo.

George at Asda Bodysculpt are also good but now they seem to have stopped doing cup sizes and are virtually all halternecks (a killler sometimes!)

Is it for holidays or home?

I have found that every year since having children my chest is deflating and I need to size down one sizeSad. One day it will stabilise, hopefully soon!

hmm...30% off from Boden!

JassyRadlett · 09/06/2014 21:06

I have a recent Boden one that holds in v nicely.

I got 2 from John Lewis that were very flattering.

this is lovely but I couldn't justify £60 for a suit that wouldn't fit when I've stopped breast feeding next year.

Bought this as it's more beachy and will last me after I stop feeding and shows less cleavage, plus bandeau better for tanning,

Bunbaker I was on a thread last week with a poster who takes 28 bikinis on holiday, just in case somebody else was wearing the same one.

Bah, i forgot to mention what I was posting for, I recently bought this Bravissimo polka dot swimsuit on Ebay, there are lots of Buy it Nows in the same style. Underwiring & cups are very supportive of my flobbity 30f norks, the tummy control isn't great but I'm planking away so hopefully won't be relying on it too much, the fabric feels a bit cheap but it only cost £14 so meh. For some reason my tablet puts links at the top of my posts-weird.
