Don't really want black as I think it drains me but I will be tanned and it is supposed to be slimming.

I do suit brown so thought this one but will it make my double DDs look matronly this one may be less matronly but will it keep me in place when I am leaping about at water parks?

I love www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp?product_id=MIR-76029&mci=&size=&colour=&image=r2554-p431767- frontthis shade of blue and always get complemented on it but should us big girls play it safe with brown or black? I also have a lovley kaftan and sarong which would match.

There are others I like but I think that I need a wired cup being rather large boobed.

Also do I buy my size, I am sure I read on here that you buy a size smaller but I don't want to look like an over stuffed sausage.

A friend has one who is the same size as me 16-18 and she swears by it and looked hot in her holiday photos. I have not allowed anyone to photograph me on holiday for nearly three years, if this gives me some peace of mind on holiday I will pay it. I have raised the money by selling some unwanted shoes.

i don't blame you twinset!

liking the brown

coddy · 22/07/2007 15:03

blue
brown dull

twinsetandpearls · 22/07/2007 15:17

I was hoping someone would back the blue as although brown does suit me I do look at my prettiest in blue and I have some bits that would go with it.

love the blue

throckenholt · 22/07/2007 15:20

if you are going to spend that much go with what you like best - if you prefer blue then go for it (and stuff everyone else !)

Sheherazadethegoat · 22/07/2007 15:44

yep love the blue.

TaLcYo · 22/07/2007 18:08

have you chosen??? do tell.

twinsetandpearls · 22/07/2007 18:35

OP posts:
TaLcYo · 22/07/2007 18:56

...prefered the brown

twinsetandpearls · 22/07/2007 18:59

just as well I am wearing it then and not you [grin[

OP posts:
TaLcYo · 22/07/2007 19:02

pourquoi?

twinsetandpearls · 23/07/2007 10:41

have just got people on another thread telling me what hell my holiday will be.

ktmoomoo · 23/07/2007 10:51

they rather expensive

twinsetandpearls · 23/07/2007 11:28

would rather have one good swimsuit that I liked wearing than five crap ones I felt miserable in.

When I was pregnant I paid about £80 for a Formes swimsuit and it was the best £80 I spent.

OP posts:
TaLcYo · 23/07/2007 12:28

I agree, twinset....too often have i bought swim cossies only to wear them just the once.

What thread?????

TaLcYo · 23/07/2007 12:31

...okay, just read it
at you!

You will have a fantastic time

twinsetandpearls · 23/07/2007 12:36

I know I will!

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 23/07/2007 12:36

where in scotland are you going, will we both me avoiding biting bugs?

OP posts:
TaLcYo · 23/07/2007 12:41

dunoon.......have been told also that we will be eaten alive...and very wet to boot!

have never been to scotland before

wanted to visit parents in spain, but the flights are too pricey.

At least you will be bitten in the sunshine

twinsetandpearls · 23/07/2007 13:26

yes if I as going to get bitten I would want it to be in the sun. Although apparantly I am going to die from heat induced exhaustion, but once again if I am going to die I would rather it was in the sun whilst wearing a flattering suck me in swimming costume.

We are hoping to get to Scotland for a quick break over the summer as well.

THe sizing are ow confusing me I thought that american sizings were two different so an americal 12 was a UK 16 but they are saying one size different.

OP posts:
geekgirl · 24/07/2007 10:38

it kills it

TaLcYo · 24/07/2007 14:09
