that will conceal my flabby tum. Help!I need something to wear on holiday at Christmas. I look so crap in my bikini I can't wear it. I only usually wear one piece costumes for proper swimming and somehow the non-sporty one pieces make me think I'm turning into my Mum! (I'm 36). I'll also be with my two amazingly stylish SILs. Have you seen the right thing for me? Susannah & Trinny are you there?????????????????

also do you want halternck ]

padded
what kind of look and colour

chocolateshoes · 04/11/2006 14:03

hips & thighs not bad - quite trim. It really is my horrendous post c-section flab (not helped by an addiction to Rita sport marzipan)

is the drapey one a bit old?

I have a similar (though not exactly the same) costume from M&S aswell - it sucks in all the flabby bits and it definitely makes me look a damn site better than 'normal' costumes.

chocolateshoes · 04/11/2006 14:05

halterneck is fine, don't mind colour (I'm generally reasonably tanned, brown hair, blonde highlights)

Oh no - I only got it last month !! Ha Ha Ha !!

But seriously - the front is lovely - I'll see if I can find one to show you ! The back is pretty strong control material though - and as a 12 you prob don't need that !
