Are high wasted bikini briefs flattering?

I'm looking for a new swimsuit and really wish I was confident enough to wear a bikini and it's much easier to get a bikini with proper bust support than a costume/tankini. The problem is I don't have a flat stomach by any stretch of the imagination and my skin is a bit loose and has stretch marks (I have a 1yo). The high waisted ones seem the way to go but I've always found high waisted jeans very unflattering especially on the bum so I dunno if they look any good on someone who isn't super skinny or toned.
I'm 5ft 3 and a size 14/16. I'm working on losing weight but it's a slow process. Any advice?

I felt great in my high waisted retro bikini this year, but looking back at pictures, I look fucking huge.

I thought I'd get some to provide an air of Fifties' glamour.

The result was more Ma Larkin crossed with Benny Hill.

I think we need to go back to bloomers and a tunic.
