SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 11:45

This happened last year, so thought I'd order nice abd early this year, but the one I want already sold out. It's just MAY fgs.

So please help direct me where to look now?

I like one with underwire, as have largish norks, but not huge.
Pretty but sexy in understated way. (don't send me to that site on here a few weeks ago where someone's DH bought them a bikini from)

I like that one a lot, Smileys.

SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 15:41

Yes do Thomcat.
Kind of like it but am unsure so homnesty appreciated. Don't want to put people off their Pina colads around the pool.

Just bought most flattering one ever from Primark (don't know if Boden-ites have ever heard of it?)£8, Underwired, bottoms big enought to be decent without being mumsy, and bet I don't see another like it on the beach @ Southwold...

SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 15:42

Which on were you looking at HC?

I know they're more expensive but I don't mind paying more for a bikini that I know I won't ooze out over the top off.

the brown and mint one - I really like it!

hoxtonchick · 01/05/2007 15:46

brown one much nicer imo.
i got a brill fantasie bra-sized swimsuit from john lewis last year, worth a trip to the shop i think.

SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 15:48

Are you sure I won't look all Bridgette Bardot sex kitteny in the gingham one??

Some one come and slap some sense into me.

OP posts:
ThomCat · 01/05/2007 15:54

I think this is lovely

hoxtonchick · 01/05/2007 15:56

i wouldn't go for tc's one with big norks though (sorry tc!)

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 15:57

Don't mind the brown and mint one but don't love it.
Am almost on the verge of being repulsed byt he red gingham one. It's just says 'dirty tart'. I was going to go on with what that dirty tart says she does by wearing strumpets bikini but won't!

Have you got huge norks and that's why you are doing Bravissimo?

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 15:57

yes sorry, i love my one but then realised you may be large norked so ...
will re-look.

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 15:58

Top shop again but better for bigger baps?

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 16:03

I prefer this brown & mint one

I actually think this is the sexiest one in teh Bravissimo range

Twinkie1 · 01/05/2007 16:04

I bought one from the WHite Company this year and it is beautiful.

SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 16:05

Oh Thomcat I suspect you are of small norkage?? I love the topshop ones but I do need some support and shaping.

Not huge norks but a 34DD so look so much better with underwiring, thats why I ended up with bravissimo.

Now thinking if gingham one says Dirty Tart Dh will love it, particuarly if I do requister pouting and dirty talk.

But maybe not at villa in Tuscany with company.

OP posts:
ThomCat · 01/05/2007 16:06

Lots of nice ones on this site

SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 16:07

I think you think all underwiring equals unsexy Thomcat.

I am doomed

Whenever I bikini shop it takes over my life.

OP posts:
ThomCat · 01/05/2007 16:07

No I have 34DD's too but am bigger than that at the mo as preggers.

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 16:08

right going to try and find a nice underwired bikini top now!

Idreamofdaleks · 01/05/2007 16:12

this is the nicest Bravissiomo one I reckon

SmileysPeoples · 01/05/2007 16:16

Ok I like this ?

and it's in the sale.

Thom cat you have 34DD and can wear little fabric triangle bikini? I'm impressed.

OP posts:
DeathbyDora · 01/05/2007 16:16

Not sure if there's a John Lewis/Peter Jones anywhere near you that you could get to but they do some fantastic ones. Have never had much luck online shopping for swimwear!

I got about 4 there when I was 7 mnths pregnant last year and they were very flattering. Well about as flattering as it was possible to look while risking getting harpooned or towed back out to sea by Greenpeace...

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 16:17

plain but underwired

bit brighter

patterned

ohhh and this

ThomCat · 01/05/2007 16:18

ohhh I like that last one you linked to smiley, so much better than scary gingham one!

electra · 01/05/2007 16:21

Sorry to thread crash but can anyone tell me what the bikinis from Boden are like size wise? Do they come up large or small?
TIA
