Best bikini for hourglass figure

8 replies

Duckswaddle · 15/05/2019 12:11

Hello! I’m on the lookout for a simple black bikini for an upcoming holiday.
I’m 31, hourglass and size 12. I’ve had two kids so my boobs and stomach aren’t what they were so I’d like a good structured bikini bra. Has anyone seen anything good? The only ones I can find have tiny triangle bikini tops and I’d look like I was smuggling dog ears in those Blush
Thanks!

I buy separates with bra sized bikini top

I buy separates too.
Figleaves are good.
I find Next can be surprisingly good for swimwear. And fairly reasonable, and sell separates. Handier than Figleaves or Bravissimo for returns. Hate the faff of online returns.

Figleaves black
I quite like this Next one. Not the big pants tho. Really dislike them on me.
Ome Bravissimo ones

I've just got a crop top one with tie side bottoms from new look,the bottoms dont dig in as you can decide how tight they go

What size are you bra wise?Bravissimo do some great structured bikini tops

Thanks all, I’m a 32FF. Actually my best and favourite bra is bravissimo, I’ll have a good look there.

I’ve just bought a black bikini from bravissimo think the style was called amalfi it’s very flattering

I bought different bottoms though as wanted something slightly higher at sides
I’m a 34G size 10-12 and the small bottoms were a good fit - the bikini top is very flattering
