Swimming Costumes? Any suggestions?

I need a new swimming costume in anticipation of the warm balmy sunny beach days ahead - haha just kidding!

I’m going to start to take DS (age 4) swimming again and I’m in desperate need of a good control type swimming costume with good coverage (high neck, not too low back) that’s also pretty and flattering.

I’ve looked online, and there are a ton of pretty ones on lovely slim tall models - but I’m more in the market for a shorter rounder person!

Any suggestions?

A tankini from Bravissimo! It's not cheap, but it's an investment you will not regret (and a game changer for how you feel about swimming). The 2 pieces make it very practical and comfortable, without losing the coverage of a 1 piece...

I've done well in M&S of all places, but also J Crew (sale prices!)

I’ve always liked Boden swimwear. It’s always well made and usually stylish and attractive.

Oops! It's gorgeous, maybe it'll come in the sale...

Or do you know anyone in the US who could get it for you and hopefully manage to dodge customs?!?

White Stuff have some lovely swimwear. Not expensive. I love the tankinis.
