Shapeology swimming costumes

I like the look of the Magisculpt Wonderpiece and blouson ones, from Marisota.
Has anyone tried them?
I am very short with huge, squishy boobs.
These costumes are pretty expensive but tbh I think it might be worth it to feel comfortable around the pool
I want to be well covered and in no danger of falling out.
Also - was wondering if they come up large? When I looked online Marisota says it is plus size (starts at size 12) and ime plus sizes tend to be generous. I am not clutching at straws or anything but a size 12 would be nice!

That's my favourite. £45 but worth it to feel supported and pulled in.

A similar one, this looks ok too.

Sorry, I can't see these being very flattering. I know this will sound mad but last year Tesco did some super flattering cozzies with ruched paneling across the front and support around the tum.

Haven't looked at Bravissimo but they are supposed to be great for the well endowed, too.

I would be amazed if they accommodate your boobs! Says in the description it has a foam cup, so that'll be a d cup max. I have a Fantasie tankini, it has a 'proper' mesh bra with a 3 hook clasp in the back, there is no way my boobs could ever ever fall out of it! It's this one, but in red

fantasie

UsainWho · 06/02/2015 12:22

Ooops, meant to say good thing about this tankini is it has a flesh coloured 'liner', for want of a better word, under the outer fabric. This does a good job of smoothing over everything so tankini doesn't cling so much

You wouldn't be able to swim in something like that though?

If you're not winning then stick to shorts and a top :)

Winning=swimming ...

MatildaTheCat · 06/02/2015 17:34

this and this are both very flattering. Buy a couple of poolside cover ups and bold sunglasses and job done Smile

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I am 36 (small)F so I am afraid anything like the Tesco ones are no good. I really want something quite high over the bust, not bra shaped.

In the end I have bought a bikini from BHS, separates, so my enormous boobs fit into it and I have smaller bottoms. It has a frill over the top so it feels more secure too. Ok for lying around, anyway.
Wrt the other costume, I decided against all advice, to send for it as I can return it. I love it! I was worried it would look a bit maternity ( and at 54 that really would be a worry!). It is very supportive and comfortable, I think I will be pleased with it.
That's very much for your advice, I did appreciate it.
