Size 20 with huge norks. Just bought a sized 20 from Asda and looks hideous. Have flabby belly from surgery so would like something that disguises/ hides it. Am tall too so needs long length. Please someone help x

Bravissimo? I got a fab tankini from there, I'm the same size as you. It's not cheap, but it is worth it.

My sister is a similar size and bought a fabulous one from M&S last year.

Thick supportive fabric, internal boob support, internal mesh panel across the tummy for control, plain black, halter neck, ruching in all the right places.

It was honestly the most flattering swimsuit I've ever seen on her or anyone over a size 10, might be worth a look.

Miracle suit are the best. Quite expensive but worth it as the hold everything where it should be.

It was a bit like this

I'd never heard of Miracle Suit, but just had a quick look and they do have some lovely swimwear!

In my experience a moulded cup suit (ie, what most places sell), will never fit a size 20 set of boobs, even if they claim it is a size 20. As above, bravissimo is your friend, because everything will be held in the right place. They sell very functional swimwear, and holiday wear. If you want a tankini or bikini, I buy the tops from there, then buy cheap high waisted bottoms from M&S or M&Co in toning colours. If this is for a holiday abroad, please don’t worry about how it looks and let it spoil your holiday - you will see all shapes and sizes, wearing all types of suit. When I was bigger, I actually felt better in a high waisted bikini because there wasn’t this vast expanse of Lycra, and you weren’t making the same compromises for sizing, as both pieces fitted properly.

Bowden wrap swimsuit. Comes in a long length, pulls everything in, available in size 20, good for boobs.
I’m a 32 HH, and 5’ 8”, size 14-16.
There should be a discount code somewhere....

Sorry, Boden

YOURS Clothing range have my solution.

Tankini top but lycra style swjmmjf shorts to the knee.

Had them two years now and flattering/supportive and very comfy
