miracle swimwear so expensive , any alternatives?

[hifi]

hv a sister whos loaded, v difficult to buy for, shes had 4 children and wears unflatering swimwear. thaught i would buy her a control swimsuit, spend £50 - £60, just looked on fig leaves and they are all a hundred plus! she is a size 12 on the bottom broad shoulders and big tits, any suggestions?

M and S have one for £22 but it's like searching for the holy grail unless you are size 8. I know because I've tried after seeing one in a magazine/

thanks swedish, maybe ill try m and s on line

i would be quite offended if someone bought me a control swimsuit!
but if you must - next have their own version

lol at you buying her a control swimsuit.

Saw some in john lewis yesterday,about £40 .

what is a magic swimsuit..sounds like something i need, do they have labels on?

here zippi

thanks...just remembered that i have a photo on my profile which clearly shows just how much i need one! lol

oh do you think she will be offended? we do talk about her big gut, we have even discussed tummy tucks. she spends loads of cash on stuff then buys primark tankinis, just thaught it was something she wouldnt buy herself.

you know her better than any of us

just to let you know a little about our relationship, i buy her creams, cover up and send her articles to deal with the black shadows and bags under her eyes. she seems grateful.found another article this week in mail about a none surgicle cure for it, meeting her on holiday next week so will take it with me.

hifi can i be your adopted sister you can send me stuff i won't be offended..i need all these and probably a few more you haven't thought of!

landsend.co.uk swimwear is really fab and a bit cheaper than miracle suits. they do a lifetime no quibble guarantee, too.

I have one from Matalan which cost £15.00 and they did matching sarongs as well.

It has a paded bra and tummy support.

zippit, i love looking for things, especially if it improves appearance, self esteem, we my need a home study though.

make me alist if you have a few days to spare

Something like this:? www1.landsend.co.uk/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=361&prrfnbr=1694340&mdiv=OSwm&c atlevel=prod&cgrfnbr=1175702&catparent=1175702&fromsearch=

The sizes are US btw, so a Uk 12 is a US8. And the cut is generous.

What a hilariously obvious piece of advertising TamB

I have a landsend one. OMG it is like wearing industrial strength scaffolding. It holds everything in!! It is actually quite comfy too. I can do laps in mine and wear it in the surf.

Speedo are making some now too.
