Can anyone help me find this swimwear ask for teen DD?

[Mykittensmittens]

I have a 12 year old DD. She has been looking online for this but can’t find anything nor can I!

She would need an age 14 (or a women’s 8/10) as she is 5ft 3 already.

She wants a sunsafe suit/rash vest and shorts. She has criteria 🙄

Rash vest must have short sleeves
Shorts not pants
Must be two piece (loo ease, and may well pop the rash vest over a normal plain bikini top)
Absolutely NO twee patterns - things like unicorns and cupcakes and too much pink will be vetoed.

This one ticks every box apart from the pink and the unicorns. Shape, shorts, everything. I just need it in a different or plain pattern.

She’s red haired, pale and sensible. Although she has bikinis she feels exposed and she burns easily. She also has all in one swimsuits but they are hot and not good for the loo.

Has anyone seen any other teen offerings like this? Or can suggest anywhere?

Have a look at lands end. Great quality

What’s the budget?

Needs pants but would be easy to get separately

Yes, definitely look at Lands End.

I’ve bought a few things from them over the last couple of months and the quality has been fantastic. I just bought some board shorts and a three quarter sleeve rash vest from there for summer, both are lovely and the fit is bang on.

Sounds like you'd be better looking in a surf shop OP, maybe a website like www.surfdome.com/Womens-Rash-Vests/sddsl13693.htm

Have a look at separates - Surfdome has loads

Would this work? Boden have a few other options as well. I got one last year and like it, although do feel I need a bikini top under it

Decathlon?

Boden's women's range also has some (plain) ones. Pricey though.

There are plenty of short sleeved rash vests in the boys section at next.

As always, look in the bloke section. Cut out the mesh inner, good to go. Female design board shorts are usually one step up from knickers, bloke ones keep the sun off.

Same for rash tops - bloke section.

So helpful, thanks.

If I thought she’d get years out of it i’d splash on boden (I’d like that myself but my G cups would be like two puppies in a bag)

Lands end looks good for shorts, I’ll get plain colours, and 40% off!! and she can pick a short sleeved rash from elsewhere (like Roxy or a surfy type).

Thanks!

Depending on her build would something from the boys section work? I’m not sure how the sizes would correlate, but if she’d need a bigger top and smaller bottoms you could buy them separately.

Next have got some quite nice ones.

Board shorts: www.surfdome.com/Girls-Board-Shorts/sddsl13854.htm

Try mountain warehouse. Loads of rash vests there and board shorts. Decent prices too.

More rash vests here too: www.surfdome.com/Girls-Rash-Vests/sddsl13873.htm

Surf brands will be harder wearing (and much cooler) than high street interpretations. I know the optics are important to the youth on westcountry beaches.

Thank you. Am sending all the links and she’s very happy ‘selecting’ - school holiday boredom!

The tiki surf one would be fab with her colouring!

I buy all the DCs (and my) swimming stuff from Proswimwear, they have an enormous range at all price points.

Fat face?

I bought my 9 year old a plain black rash vest and plain blue swim shorts from the boys section of H&M recently, the top is long sleeved tho.

I’m looking for the same thing, 11yr old dd, 5ft2ish with a small chest already. Last year she had a mountain warehouse rash vest with 12-13 landsend swimming shorts which worked, but the shorts were the largest size in kids and don’t fit now. I think she needs a 13-14 or a 6.
Let me know if you find any gems?

Loads of grown up options here:

modli.co/uk/

Has anyone tried the Modli? Been looking at that for dd too!

@Passthecake30

That modli site does look good but £££!

I’ve gone for a landsend blue short and bright pink shirt (which was met with a face but needs must. I’ve had a 12-13 which is now making me nervous!! I will also let her chose a roxy/billabong short sleeved rash. I’ve also noticed a few plain navy swim shorts in ebay so may get a backup pair of those.

The modli ones look good - functional - but the tops are quite flowery. And at that price I can’t risk a mistake!
