I genuinely can't decide if I'm too wobbly for this bikini

I'm not looking for compliments , just a yes or no to being offensive in public . I prefer the boob support from this sort of bikini top compared to a swimsuit but although my tummy isn't massive it's wobbly from babies . I'm short which doesn't help with wobbly everything despite going to the gym a lot .. I do have a very flattering ( read boring ) black swimsuit so I can always send this back .

You look great.

Larger bikini bottoms will look nicer

If i was you, i would! You look fab x

Love it, you've got a great shape.

Hope it's ok to say, have you checked your bra size recently? The red line where your bra sits suggests you're weariness the wrong size (although the bikini top is spot on).

Thank you bombardier , it was my strapless bra which doesn't fit very well . 😬

I disagree about the one piece looking odd. I had a few that had a cut out on the back so like a bikini from behind and strapless. Not frumpy at all. Got some great colours, wore with big straw hat and shades, DH said I looked like a film star and that's good enough for me.

I always have to go up a full size for swimwear. Every single time. Wish the labels would sort it out!

Here is a link to the thread I started a couple of weeks ago about swimwear sizes.

You look great! Nothing to worry about.

Have a great holiday.

I'm on holiday right now and cursing that I went tankini. I think bikinis on all figures (but yours is fabulous and I would t hesitate if I were you) looked best in bikini

I think you
Look great

I think some swimsuits looks amazing ( did you see Amanda Holden in hers recently!!) but mine is a big standard boring black one and it sort of hides my curves so I do look frumpy 😬😬

Go with your bikini OP. You've got a great hourglass shape. I saw many shapes and sizes on the beach in Spain last week but somehow I always seemed to be next to a size 4 French woman with a deep tan! One was even heavily pregnant and had zero fat anywhere else! I couldn't help but study her behind my sunglasses, struggling to see how the baby would come out from those hips. She was smaller than my very slim 13 year old. But that's life! I did see Amanda Holden, what is she thinking of? I mean she looks great but really? She's 46 and should know better, how vain can you get?
