Me again... help finding *the* swimsuit

I got some valuable advice here last month re shapewear after weight loss, now I am back looking for a swimsuit.

I think I want underwired cups, longer leg, some kind of rouching around tummy.

Any longer leg suits I have seen are sporty style, with no wire.

I am a few lbs off 5 stone weight loss. My chest and stomach have the look of a deflated balloon. I don't mind too much in my clothes, but I think I will be self conscious in a cozzy that doesn't have some sort of structure.

TIA

I have had a few from Bravissimo. You buy for your bra size and they're really supportive (I'm a G cup so hate being without wires). I'm currently eyeing up a swim dress as where I've lost weight I'm conscious about the tops of my legs.

Look at anything by miracle suit.

I find it a lot cheaper to wear a bra under my costume that way I have great support and more chose of costumes to choose from.

I bought a next tankini. It’s so structured that it takes forever to dry, which doesn’t work for me as I-swim every day and need a fast turn around, but they have loads. Regatta do one with shorts as a bottom. Ithink they look great.

I need something that will look great at a swanky spa and stop me wobbling too mush.

I bought a bravissimo bikini that is more comfortable and supportive than most of my bras. So I'd recommend looking there first!

Another vote for MiracleSuit (unfortunately the expensive MiracleSuit brand, rather than the £20 Amazon version with the same name)

I got a lovely one from Cupshe; I’ll see if I can find a link

Theos · 16/03/2023 22:53

Go to a bravissimo store

ElizaCBennett · 16/03/2023 22:57

Sorry, link won’t load but it’s a Winter Fantasy Wrap Front Cut out from UK.Cupshe.com.
