Help me find a swimsuit!

My lovely new man has suggested introducing our kids to each other by taking them for a fun day out at a water park. I haven't been swimming for about 10 years. I'm tall, size 10/12, with reasonably big boobs that definitely need some support, and a bit of a tummy. Where can I find a supportive, flattering swimsuit? Thanks in advance!

Bravissimo?

Figleaves normally have a great selection.

PrimaDonna do amazing swimsuits and bikinis but they're not cheap. Though you can often find ones on offer online. Absolutely worth it.

Alternatively I've got some from PourMoi and am pleasantly surprised by the fit and quality given the price.

Also - don't bother with Gossard. Similar prices to PrimaDonna and not half the quality; mine really discoloured around the seams after a few wears.

ISeeTheLight · 19/02/2018 18:56

E.g. PourMoi1and PourMoi2

I've got this one which is to die for.

Debenhams normally have a good range if you'd prefer going to the shop, rather than online. I'm an E cup and got some there last year for a holiday :)

I find Debenhams suits quite short in the body though (5'9).

Seaspray do longer length swimsuits. Example www.seaspray.co.uk/plain-style-draped-crossover-tummy-control-longer-length-swimsuit-royal.html

I'm a curvy 12 and bought this the other day, it's really flattering and supportive.

I have a Speedo swimsuit from Bravissimo. Size 12 and 32G, fits well.

Fantastic suggestions - thanks so much!

I would go for a tankini. I have just gone through this faff and every swimming costume was too short in the body so no boob support!

land’s end. The majority of their swimsuits come in a “long” fit. This one has soft cup boob support, there is another version with a shelf bra. Lots of colours.

Thanks Tower. I’ve just ordered one of those. Looks great and at a sensible price 😄
