Swimsuit for size 16-18

12 replies

Startingtomoveon · 19/02/2022 09:51

Can anyone recommend a swimsuit for size 16-18 please? That is as slimming in style/colour as possible? I prefer plain colours as I don’t like to draw attention to my stomach/bottom/thighs (everywhere really Sad)

I need to buy it by tomorrow so I can’t buy online unless it has overnight delivery. I saw some tummy control ones in Asda but they are out of stock in almost all sizes. Amazon has such a big selection that I don’t know where to start, plus I’d prefer to go into a shop today to try them on so I know if it’s ok or not.

Marks and Spencer’s ? But a bit early season wisefor a decent selection in the shops
Would a sports shop have anything ? As possibly hold stock all the time

Go to Bravissimo. I tried to buy exactly what you’ve looking for in December. The spiral of despair trying to buy swimmies is real, but I just asked for help and they sent everything in my size to the changing room. Struck gold on attempt two and now possess a swimming costume in which I don’t hate myself. It wasn’t cheap but was well worth the spend.

18/20 here and tried on loads. Ended up with one from Landsend and one from H&M which seem to suit me. They are both very bright colours though!

I bought a lovely one from M&S size 18 but it had very scant arse coverage. Beware.

www.pourmoi.co.uk/products/high-line-control-suit/ I have this one. It’s very flattering

I see you need it for tomorrow but I am the same size as you and bought a swim dress with a halterneck and it was very flattering. I got it from Simple Be a few years back.
