are Boden swimsuits supportive

[nailpolish]

?
esp the hotchpotch ones

I bought the red spotty cross back one and had to send it back. There was a bra shelf (awful term) but the cut was awful and my boobs were hanging out the sides. Shame, because the rest of it fitted nicely.

Don't know about that one but I bought the brown halter neck with the lower cut legs last year and it is great. Had to take the 'padding' out to get my norks in though.

I bought the boy leg one last year and love it. Once I'd taken the padding out as Sherbert 37 says.

hmmm it doesnt even mention support of any kind on the hotchpotch

ill not get the cross back one cupcakes, that sounds awful!

think ill try the bow one
or maybe a tankini? cant decide

are they awful long? im only 5'

i cant see a boyleg one

oh i see it now

my legs are short tho i dont know if boyleg will make them look even shorter!

If 5' maybe the tankini? I am 5'5" and the boyleg was the right length for me, but might have been baggy if I was shorter.

ok ive ordered a tankini thanks for the suggestion

i got the classic bikini top and had to take 5" off the straps on my sewing machine, the cup was right (size 14) but the back size was way to big. my other wired bikini from them is sized 34D and it fits perfectly, cup and back.

hermykne im not brave enough for a bikini top! last wore one before dds and even though im a size 8 my tum isnt flat
wish i could go to a boden shop and try one though

I think so.

Last year I had the pale blue one that had different colour edges (not sure if that's the same as teh brown one sherbert bought?) and it's quite supportive. I like the padded cup bit.

shite i havent ordered one with padded bits

ohwell i can try it and get the other one

i am having a real nightmare here with swimwear

Naily - there is a nice one in next for £20 that I just got.

the red shape enhancing one on this page

It comes in black and red and I got the red. It's lightly padded on the cup parts and it's a 'hold you in' one! Looks really nice on and cheaper than boden.

Naily - you sound like me - size 8 (I'm 8-10) but still need something to squash the tum in! That's what pregnancy does for you - fat or thin!!

uch GDG i got that one yesterday and tried it on at home and its not right around the tit area
good length though

nailpolish - they look lovely but never found one that fit was right on esp round bra area

Always end up resorting to M&S as fit better -although admit different type of style

oh ive never tried m&s
thanks

LOL @ 'tit area'

God I'm sad
