Have ordered and sent back two - pulls in all the wrong places. (ps I have small to medium tits and big hips/bottom.)
Suggestions gratefully received...

Mine was minging. Sorry, not much help... tankini and pants?

There's a really nice brown one in La Redoute. They've got some reasonably priced maternity clothes too.

You're pregnant. There is no such thing as a flattering maternity swimsuit.

I bought a gorgeous one (and I'm similar shape to you) from a baby/maternity shop in Dorset .. can't remember the make but I will try to find it and get back to you - it was really flattering..

It was from this shop www.lookmumandmaternity.co.uk

Ditto what soupy said.

Try a tankini type one?

Oh, I know.... just would like one that fits.. feeling a bit self conscious as we are having a beach holiday for christmas, and feeling very pale and fat!
Thanks for the La Redoute link, but they only seem to be selling one swimsuit at the moment which is for women who have had a mastectomy.
Did you happen to find out which brand it was naturopath? I am hoping to get it online.
Thanks!

I really liked my topshop turquoise two-piece (sorry, no way round the tortured alliteration). It was reasonably flattering up to about 30 weeks, after which nothing is.

If you can't find a bathing costume you like you could get a nice cover-up and leave it right by the water's edge. Isabella Oliver did a good one.

I had a very flattering halterneck one from formes.
