Confused

my trusty old m and s swimsuit is now too threadbare for even me to continue to wear

i am going on holiday in 6 weeks and need a new costume

i have a long body so preferably need a long length swimsuit
i have big norks-am a 38gg

am also fat-so need a size 20 or 22

am tall

like colours-especially blues and greens or red

does anybody fancy trying to help me?

i found a beautiful one this afternoon but the cups only went up to an e which is no good for me

Yes same size but a shortarse, weeble really

The reviews on that jade one are indicating it's quite long, so might be worth a punt!!!

CheesyBadger · 06/07/2014 19:12

Bravissimo is great!

Takesalongtime · 06/07/2014 19:14

Debenhams but might just go up to g cup. I got 2 this year- love them

gymboywalton · 06/07/2014 19:24

bravissimo is great and i have had tankini tops from there but they don't do sizes that accomodate my fat arse and tummy unfortunately

I've just got a couple of nice ones (and I struggle to find decent anything, nevermind swimsuits). A big size Zoggs with a skirt and adjustable bra straps and Gottex one in size 20 from TK Maxx, in trying to find them again, what about these:

I just got a new speedo from bravissimo - g cup (but I didn't notice what dress size they go to, I'm a 14) but they go up to h I think

MrsLettuce · 06/07/2014 19:54

That BHS one is nice OP, I prefer the Jade one though - the colour looks more expensive.

EvilHerbivore · 06/07/2014 19:57

this?

Print,size:38GG This is 38GG?

bravissimo in red?

maresedotes · 06/07/2014 19:57

Read a thread last year about how great Peacocks swimsuits are so I bought one. They are so flattering, got a pink spotty one and saw similar this year. I'm 34F so good for big norks too.

maresedotes · 06/07/2014 19:58

They hide a flabby tummy too.

AuntieStella · 06/07/2014 19:59

What's your budget?

Lands End ones are really good (they do long as well as regular and my GG norks fit in their 18) but they have shot up in price in the last couple of years.

EvilHerbivore · 06/07/2014 20:01

this is pretty I think?

PedlarsSpanner · 06/07/2014 20:01

Oh jeez have reread my post. I meant I am short and v fat, I don't mean YOU are v fat Blush Blush Blush aaaargh at me.

gymboywalton · 06/07/2014 21:43
