Swimsuit Help please

I've seen good swim suit websites mentioned on here before, but can't find any now.

I'm going on a spa day next weekend with some friends. I am the largest of the group, so would like something that makes me feel attractive. I am a 5ft apple, size 16 on top. My hips are not bad but the insides of my thighs are not too pretty at the top.

Can anyone recommend something? And if I could use it for general swimming too, that would be fantastic.

Thank you!

DD and I are both ahem generously endowed.

These are pricey but really good

Thank you Mumsie!

The thing is, I do not have big norks, just a big tummy! My bra size is 38B or 40A. I sound attractive, don't I!

All the ones on the Figleaf site seem to start at D cup Shock

Then I wonder if you could try M&S?

I actually got a lovely cozzie there last season-very slimming.

But I am woefully without wisdom on the world of below a D cup and have been since I was about 16

Can boyleg swimsuits be attractive?

And what about swim dresses - are they very aging?

Asda have lovely ones at the moment.
Swim dresses are awful imo. Just emphasise the problem.

Boy leg bottoms just cut off your thigh at the widest part. It's much more flattering to just wear a standard swimsuit.

If you really don't want to show your legs can you just get a sarong or a coverup to wear until you're pool side?

I don't mind my legs, it's just the tops of my thighs that don't need to be on show.

I have some boden ones which inline but I did remove the boning as it was really uncomfortable.
