Bikini or swimsuit?

[WhereForArtThouBray]

I have gained lots of weight this year and am only just still in a 12, apple shaped which doesn't help matters.

I have tried going up a size and getting high waist bikini bottoms but feel a swimsuit might be more flattering.

Show/link me your go to flattering swimsuits/bikinis please??

I think it depends what you're going to be doing in it! If you're going abroad and loafing on a sun lounger you will cook in a swimsuit! Been there done that!

I quite like Boden bikinis.

Have you thought about a tankini ? Love mine and would never go back to a bikini or suffer the restrictions of a swimsuit.

I find a separate bottom much better if you need the loo. I'm just back from hols and loads of people had the bikinis with a kind of floaty overtop bit, all different shapes and they all looked lovely!
