Swimwear/Bikini

[pokerdone]

Please recommend to me your favourite brands. When I was younger, I could just grab a set from the supermarket but now I feel stuck!

Weight gain and early-ish menopause has really changed my shape. I used to be hour glass but am now very apple . Around a size 16 but my bust is smaller so doesn't correlate.

Want a bikini/tankini preferably but larger pants as I feel so big on my bottom half.

Am I chasing unicorns?

Bra sized underwired separates swimwear is so much more flattering.

I like Miss Mandalay but it is quite skimpy. They have some pieces with more coverage though.

look at Panache, Pour Moi, Fantasie and Freya.

boden separates are pretty nice too if you can get away with less support up top.

higher waists are “in” and a structured bikini top with a higher waist would look nice. I’ve never got on with tankinis as they always ride up my hips. Would you consider a swimsuit? I like Boden’s and Bravissimo’s ones with power mesh as they act a bit like spanx.

I have two gorgeous high waisted retro style bikinis from For Luna which are so flattering.

Pour moi for underwired Bikini tops and tummy flattering bottoms and Cupshe has surprised me with their swimsuits and Bikinis I'm a 16 my DD are a small 6 and 10 we are all different shapes and have found something that suits us.

Thank you all. Off to research those now!
