Good grief I need swimsuit help

Despite being a right blobby fatty (I am not compact fat - I am wobbly and cellulitey waist downwards) I can swim alright. So I've been swimming in the daft holiday skirt thing swimsuit and thought I'd get to the sports shops today and find a more streamlined cossie. But WTAF at the selection and the MATERIAL. Not only are most of the size 20s not long enough in the body (think segments of fat showing under the 80s leotard look), give no bust support but look at the indecent state of the material. ADIDAS cannot be serious!! I am in no way and exhibitionist so please excuse the hideous body but I think I look bloody pornographic! I'd get banned from the baths...

Anyway laughs over... please recommend me some swimsuits ideally with bust support that are in at least size 20, long in length and nice good quality material :)

I have a zoggs costume that has not eactly cups, but a good supportive semi molded 'shelf', and a double thickness lining over the whole front of the costume. I think it's similar to [[http://www.zoggs.com/swimwear/womens-swimwear/swimshapes/macmaster-scoopback.html this one], but in blue.

Bugger. This one

I can recommend one for you Time!!

here!

I am a size 18 on top, wobbly all over, and was really, really embarrassed about appearing in public in a swimsuit this summer as I am very, very (disporportionately) large on top and need a lot of support. However the above swimsuit, although a bit brighter in colour than I'd like, is absolutely brilliant!! It is double lined where it matters and the support is as good (if not better) than my very expensive Bravissimo underwired bras!! It's on sale too atm!

If not that one then have a look at Figleaves selection of DD+ swimsuits, they have an excellent range!

Good luck!

PS I don't think you look hideous at all btw!!

Btw, sorry if I am incorrectly assuming that you need DD+ (they tend to be longer in the body)

Land's End also used to do a good Tugless range which came in a longer length too!

This kind of thing?
I wear speedo sculpture swimsuits and I'm 5'10 and a size 20/22 on top.
