So in the last year I've gone from a size 22 to a 12 (occasionally a 10 if the shop is generous) and I've decided I want to finally make the most of it and buy a bikini for when I go on my honeymoon. The problem is I dont know what kind I need. I'm most definitely not firm and sadly I have a reasonable amount of loose-ish skin that needs to be ticked in (mostly in boob area and lower belly, plus wrinkly inner thighs). Its almost put me off, but I figured i've worked hard to lose the weight, so who cares. I am approx a 32E, poss a bit smaller as I'm still losing weight and my most recent bra purchase is looking a little gapey around the cups. I've got fairly empty/bottom heavy boobs that are wide set.
I tried on a bikini today in Tesco but it was just a size 12 - the back was too loose and the cups runneth over. Sadly a lot of it was kind of empty-ish skin that just needed to be tucked in (really selling myself here!). Bottoms-wise, im looking for high waisted, up to the bellybutton or just below ideally, to hide the belly overhang. I've been trying on 14s in these cos they seem to be more comfy/less bulgy. I really liike this but wonder if its just too attention-attracting and I should stick to black/plain coloured? If anyone could recommend any reasonably priced high street stores I could try some on in, or what sort of style I should be aiming for in the top, that would be great!
