Talk to me about amazing swimsuits

[Mummyonline]

I am size 16 and want a few nice swimsuits for holiday. Where can I get nice ones from which are good quality? Would prefer something not completely plain

My best buys so far have been a seafolly costume from the asos sale. Excellent quality and really flattering, just wish I could afford them at normal price.
Also got a really nice one from figleaves. Was slightly worried buying one in a bra size as I'm a 32f but need a size 14 costume, but it fits surprisingly well and the horizontal stripes are actually quite flattering and camouflage the c-section over hang well.

I just got a seafolly & figleaves swimming costumes from the next sale reduced from over ninety pounds to thirty five, Debenhams have a sale & boden have some swimwear reductions, also bravissimo do some nice ones as well.

Thanks dontcallme I've just ordered another seafolly costume that I really don't need from next
Delivery is 3 weeks away though which they didn't let on to until I'd paid for it. Not a problem but a bit cheeky of them.

Huge fan of the Boden talamanca - sucks in my tummy and flatters my boobs. I have one and am very tempted to get another ☺️

@blibblibs 😂 tis very cheeky, the same happened to me with the figleaves costume, seafolly one is due to be delivered today.

The Pour Moi Starboard range are super flattering, I've got a navy and while polka dot halterneck swimsuit that has a yellow band under the bust and its SO nice.

Thanks for your suggestions. I can't find any Seafolly in the Next sale. Has it ended?

I bought a few Curvy Kate bikinis on sale from Brastop (top £10, bottoms £8). I have the higher waist bottoms with a proper bra size top and that looks better on me than a costume with no support at the top.

Figleaves are absolutely amazing, especially for those with a curvy figure or bigger busted! I get so many people commenting how nice the swimsuit is when I'm wearing one, or asking where it's from!
They often have sales on or discount codes too.

I've just checked mummy and the sale is still on. You need to go into the sale section then search seafolly.
This is the one I ordered yesterday

@blibblibs that’s the one I ordered, just came so going to try on shortly fingers crossed it fits, tis really lovely.

Figleaves! I have spent years trying to wrestle myself into tankinis from Panache and Bravissimo and my new cossies from Figleaves are so easy to slip in and out of I don't dread a swimming trip

I wonder why I'm having to wait for 3 weeks then
Let me know how you get on dontcallme I'm a bit worried I'll look a bit booby in it but I've got a long wait to find out. Thankfully I don't really need it so nothing lost.

@blibblibs that’s strange, the figleaves one I ordered has 2/3 wait the Seafolly one I ordered on Saturday, anyway it fits especially nicely round the bum (I have no bum, so usually have to get cossies taken in) I do feel a bit booby in it I’m 30f but I think if I put a stitch in where the ties are it would close the gap a bit, I so want to keep it as it’s really lovely, very soft & beautifully made dd is coming over shortly will ask her opinion, she will always let me know if is a a no no😂

I bought the sainsburys one with inner tummy control. Very flattering and looks more expensive than the £16 it is.

I like Tesco , they have support on the waist and boobs .

@blibblibs dd has given it a thumbs down, due to not enough coverage on the bust, I sort of knew but what hoping it was me being self conscious so very reluctantly sending back😢 hope yours is a better fit.

Oh, that's disappointing dontcallme.
I'm not really one for having alot of boob on show so I fear the worst but will hope for the best.
Would usually just put a vest under anything low cut but I guess that doesn't work with a swimming costume

This doesn’t help the OP, but l long for a slection of cossies with a very deep scooped back; almost but not quite to the top of the bum. There are too many about now with bra top style clasps across the mid back for my liking.

@blibblibs The long wait is due to the volume of orders from the sale. I'm a manager in a small Next and over sale we receive between 700-800 parcels each day from people ordering online!

@StarlightLady I have seen a few with a very deep back, I think Seafolly have someI have been on so many sites last few days I can’t remember on what sites I saw them, but definitely are about possibly ASOS, bravissimo & Debenhams.

I really love boden swimsuits, although theyre not cupsized which can be an issue

@dontcallmelen Thank you, I’ll take a peek. I fail to understand the popularity of high backs or straps crossing over the back.

@blibblibs just in case still looking, I got these from Seaspray the pink one was 23.00 down from 78.00 & the ombré one 39.00 down from 78.00 also, lovely quality very comfortable.

Thanks dontcallme, really like the pink one and there would be no spillage with it but I have a new tankini from pour moi and a very similar shaped costume from figleaves that I got for a bargain price of £15.
And I didn't really need any of them! We're only going away for a week and I have 5 costumes, 6 if the seafolly arrives and 3 tankinis. So more cossies than days
