Can someone please help me find a swimsuit that I won't be too scared to wear?

Something like those old-fashioned ones with a bit of a mini skirt on it would be ideal. I want to take DS swimming and keep putting it off. Under £20 would be ideal. Thanks.

If you get one of the skirted ones you HAVE to wear the swimming cap with flowers on then. I wish I hadnt linked pics of them, I really shouldn't encourage them .

WOULD ALL BLUE BANDS PLEASE LEAVE THE POOL!

I'm thinking maybe something like this but half the price? And a different colour. What do you think? I like the fact it's not so figure hugging you see.

Bargain it was £120, wouldn't do anything for my boobs, I get the non hugging thing though. I think you will find plenty of ones similar once they start coming into the high st. BHS did mix and match, boy shorts or solid brief type bottoms and tankin tops or whatever.

Ooh, I quite like this one. The price is right too.

You have to click on "set" to see the top and bottom. I'm thinking the black one.

I didn't realise the other was £120 - does that mean I have taste after all? (expensive taste that would be )

Oh yes that is a good one, like tha fact it is underwired and has adjustable straps too. I would go for black or navy too.

Twinklemegan · 11/01/2008 00:39

Yep I think I'll go with that one. Only £2 postage too. Bargain. Thanks so much Scramble for making me face my fear!

Oh bugger, I can't get the shorts and top in the same colour.

Any of these any good? There are quite a few tankinis too although they seem to be the shorter style.

Should I tell you something my darling? Just get the costume you feel good in. I have lost five stone over the last five years but Im still an ample woman - who gives a poo? Just get a plain black swimsuit and dont give a shite (pardon my french) who looks - what does it matter. There are bigger things in life - you are a nice person who tries hard every day to be better and better. Exercise and enjoy who you arexxxxxxxxxxxxx
