Bikinis for small petite frame with no boobs!

8 replies

needastrongone · 22/07/2017 08:01

Holiday in 2 weeks.

Long story but lost a fair amount of weight since our holiday since last year, having returned to running competitively following long term injury.

The good bit is that I'm very slight and very toned as I weight train in addition.

The bad bit is that I'm a bit scrawny, especially on top.

I'm comfortable enough in myself to wear a bikini, especially since training again, but fine with a costume too.

I'm just stuck with where to start!

Where do I go and what style suits me please?!

You lot usually so bloody good at thisSmile

I'm 45 btw

Bralette style?

Triangle with no underwire, string tied sides, high neck crop top styles. I wear all these and am a stick with no boobs at all!

Watching with interest as I have same problem. I have looked an tried on many, I have now reluctantly bought a padded 👙 bikini as at least it gives me some shape.

Simple black no padding.
Vest top (no bra) to show lack of norkage.

Wanna see the bottoms?

From Next this season. This is an 8. Strap comes off but am afraid top will slip down so haven't worn it without

How much do you want to wear a bikini? I gave up on them when I was that kind of shape because I couldn't find one that fitted and felt secure. The top was forever riding up and I lost patience with them when I realised that, in a one-piece, I could relax and forget what I was wearing. I've never gone back even though I'm not that shape any more.

I do want to wear a bikini I feel. On the whole I'm happy with my shape.

FV45, I totally get your user name! Are you me? Our body shapes are exactly the same Grin

Thanks. I've ordered these. I'll update (maybe with pictures) when they arrive. The lack of norkage is the main thing, finding something that flatters.

I hadn't thought about bandeau style or bralette.

There's another one too that seems now to have sold out!

GrinI don't think I am you OP, but who knows!
Have been in Spain for 2 weeks and would look conspicuous in a one piece.
I now have bikini strap lines to go with my running shorts and vest lines.
