All in one swimming costume, help anyone?

Holiday approaching, plan lots of serious swimming.

I've got a long body but minuscule boobs, so definitely don't want a preformed shaped top cos I ain't got the shapes to put in itGrin

Any suggestions which shops to try, please?

There are some really good reductions at BraStop. I successfully bought two bikinis there as it was so nice to be able to try them on at home and have a bit of a wander round.

Oh but you might not be a D-K cup. Sorry, I didn't realise Blush

Have a look at Next's tanksuits. Not sure if suitable for serious swimming but looks alright for holiday swimming.

D-k cup ? In my dreams!Grin

For swimming I've always bought tankini-type tops and sep. bottoms, which have solved the body length issue, but I'd really like a regular swimsuit if poss. Will be going into Birmingham on Saturday to look around so I think most shops and stores will be there.

If it's for serious swimming then Speedo do some really nice swimsuits these days. I have this one and really like the shape:

I've got a long body and Speedo suits are the only non-mail order swimsuits that fit. I got one from TK Maxx a couple of weeks ago for £12. Grin

I loathe swimwear (and bras for that matter) with padded or moulded cups, so always hunt down the ones where the padding can be removed.

M&S, Toast, Speedo and Adidas all do swimwear with removeable pads. Surprisingly, when I was browsing the latest of the near continuous discounts Gap seem to churn out at the moment, I quite liked the look of their swimwear. Mix and match bikinis and tankinis and a rather nice black one piece. Sadly swimwear isn't covered by the latest offer, but there will bound to be one come up very soon.

m and s have longer length costumes - I'm a long bodied 5'9 and they fit ok.

some have moulded cups, but they are fine for me and my tiny boobs, so you might be ok. i had to order online though, as they didn't stock them in my M&S, despite it being one of the huge stores.

Try maxcleavage - just google it sorry can't link but it's a UK site.

Look at the swimwear section - all designed for the smaller busted in mind. Some come in longer lengths as well.

Been a revelation for me Smile.

Thanks everybody, really appreciated Smile I loved the speedo suit in the link, exactly the sort of thing I had in mind and I'll check the others, like Adidas as a brand too. I'm sure that given your suggestions I'll find something.
