I need a new swim costume - please help!

[WaxOnFeckOff]

Holiday in 6 weeks! Yay!

I've lost a bit of weight plus old costumes are really done. I just want something that makes me not look too hideous :o

The stats:

Age 52
5'9
size 14ish, sometimes a 12.
Good points: shoulders, chest, back and boobs ok (36 C/D). Slimmest part under boobs to tummy.
Bad points: a lot of cellulite on thighs, still have a tummy plus a c section pouch, bingo wings, legs don't really tan and i'm very pale.

I'm thinking a one piece with something that disguises pouch/tummy and doesn't draw attention to my legs, I prefer something supportive of boobs.

Mainly for wearing around and in the pool.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I haven't got a particular suggestion but wanted to say find one in a colour that flatters your skin. As you can't actually hide cellulite on legs or bingo wings in swimwear, the best you can do is make sure they look as good a colour as they can. E.g. for me, my legs look terrible next to black and white but quite nice against burgundy or coral.

M&S long length secret slimming costume, looks great on me in fact better than on the model (I’m tall too) and really comfy

There's loads out there - what sort of style do you like colour wise? Block? Print? Stripe?

Re bingo wings and cellulite - can you swim perhaps 4-5 times a week til you go? Not long but may make you feel more
Confident as it'll help with both

Try looking on Pinterest or even google images things with your requirements - also buy two in case one rips! It's happened to a friend of mine

Ahhh sorry for link this is it

This is nice too. Despite M&S being in trouble and having some terrible clothes, I’ve been impressed at their flattering and non-frumpy swimsuits.

I thought this was very cute too

And a sexier offering from M&S

Thank you everyone. Re style, the first linked one is very similar to what I had before but in black. Not averse to pattern or stripes but sergeant anything too frumpy. No chance of lots of swimming. I work full time and have a lot on in build up to holidays plus I sincerely like swimming very much.. :o

M&S is a good call as I have some vouchers plus a discount code. I like the last one in particular. We don't have a big selection of shops locally but we do have a m&s. I have one D S needing to go to opticians and another needing to collect his prom suit and get shoes so may have a quick trip into town for a look.

As for colours, I generally suit spring type colours or navy but nothing too pale pink or peachy/nude/beige. Green/turquoise is good too. o

There are loads out there which is sort of the problem as it just gets confusing and I give up. Making decisions isn't my strong point!
