One-piece swimsuit for pear shape- where to start??

11 replies

Tatlerer · 30/06/2017 13:39

Hello
Any/all advice welcome! I normally wear bikinis but would like to find a nice one-piece.
I'm small on top (28inch chest, size 6) with a small waist and full hips/bum (a generous 8 but wear size 10 knickers). My boobs aren't what they were so some kind of uplift would be great.
Where do I start oh wise Mumsnetters??

Shameless bump- I could really do with some help! I haven't worn a one-piece bathing suit since I was about 16!

Seafolly have some nice ones. I'd go to a department store and have a look though. I get though costumes a lot (i swim pretty much every day).

I got a lovely one in John Lewis for 90 but equally lovely one from next for 22!

I buy cheap for every day use and mor expensive for hols etc. Boden also has some nice ones but I'm not keen on this season prints.

Thanks Jeaux, might order some Seafolly ones and try them on in the privacy of my own home! How do they come up size-wise?

I actually found a really nice one in Sainsbury's! It has a halter neck and tummy control so it's really flattering. This was last season but the had similar in store recently. I've just looked online but I can't find it though!

I'm a ten but seafolly is a little tight so I usually buy a size up x

Swimwear365 have a shape calculator and recommends suitable costumes

Thanks all, faith Sainsbury's are killing it lately! Their vest tops are supposed to be brilliant too.
Cheers angel- I'll check that out!
Have ordered a couple from M&S in two sizes so we'll see if either of those work.

I've just ordered one from Boden - reduced from about £60 to £32 in the sale

Went for this one in the end- reviews are like marmite but I love it: www.marksandspencer.com/secret-slimming-triangle-swimsuit/p/p22501658

I have one from Boden, I had to go up 2 sizes for it to fit my bum but it's still ok on the top.
