Sigh. I need new swimwear

Just tried a tankini I wore a couple of years ago - it no longer fits as I've lost weight. I hate shopping for swimwear, I'm a size 14 with a tummy (although a high waist sorts that out) and want a tankini or bikini because I'm finally confident enough to show off my figure (I've lost 2 stone, got more to go but feel great).

Don't want to break the bank, can anyone recommend anywhere to look?

M&S!
I bought a couple of tankinis there for my holiday, nice bust line, supportive and very flattering ruching to accentuate the waist ☺️

If you don't need bra sized swimwear, then I'd suggest trying TKMaxx or Debenhams.
If you want bra sized, try -

Brastop
Airy Mary
Simply Beach (Sale area, the rest can be high end and pricey)
Leia sale area
Belle Lingerie
Ebay - search under your favourite bra brands - most do swimwear now

I can't recommend For Luna enough for swimwear! They are really flattering and cover up mum tums and they're glamorous looking too. Pricey but worth it! www.forluna.co.uk

Well M&S came through for me - I now own a lovely bikini with a pretty print :)

Yay! That's great. And congrats on the weight loss :)

Know your sorted out now, but if you need another in the near future look at figleaves!

I second For Luna Swimwear! Got the plain black swimsuit a few years ago and it still looks great. I'm a size 16 and this is the only suit I've ever felt confident in Smile

Peacocks ! You must try peacocks.
I saw some really nice swim wear there the other day and it was reasonably priced.

Let us know!
