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

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?

I got mine from Decathlon, I think they have quite a lot of choice.

I agree Lands end. If you buy from the US they do swimwear in a “slim” option too, which is v helpful if you have slender dds.

@Passthecake30 just as a backup I’ve come across this so ordered one and a plain black pair of swim shorts from Amazon. Hopefully covered with both options but this was such a deal it’s worth a go - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233372944960

Gul ladies rash vests are great. And cheap enough to replace for growing kids!

I’ve just ordered from TU at Sainsbury’s. Limited range but they had a few bits.

Is buy separate.

Next do some lovely plain rash vests (my ds has a white one) on its own.

And then just buy separate bikini shorts.

Decathlon is a great place to look and always have a good range of styles and designs.

@Mykittensmittens thanks that EBay one looks good!
I’ve been having a look at swimming shorts but some (declathlon?) look like they are intended to wear over bikini knickers. I’ve found these on Amazon that might work although they start at an 8 and that might be slightly too large.
