Help me find a high waisted bikini, my first ever.

HowWoo · 27/03/2023 18:26

Have lost a lot of weight and am going on my first holiday abroad since.

I have a very saggy, wrinkly belly so I would like high waisted bottoms that cover my bum completley, no high leg.

And a top that has good support!

Any ideas?

I e just bought sone from shein. Same quality as anywhere else. They have thousands

HowWoo · 27/03/2023 19:04

I'm not keen on shein. I've ordered from there once and I didn't like anything. Was all very cheap feeling

Would rather go elsewhere but thankyou.

Next do some lovely swimwear.

Yespresh · 27/03/2023 19:07

Fantasie do them. Bra sizes are like M&S. Large bottoms are a 16. You can is usually buy previous seasons on eBay.

check out Boden

AutumnNymph · 27/03/2023 19:11

Check out Pour moi, Fantasie, freya and panache. They have bra size bikini tops and high waisted briefs. Curvy Kate is worth a look too as is Bravissimo
Well done on your weight loss!

I just (literally, inspired by the other bikini thread) ordered a Melissa Odabash from the outnet … I decided to go all in.

Cupshe do lots!

Seconding Pour Moi!

Seafancy seem to have lots of high waisted, non-high legged that give good bum coverage.

Next and Sainsbury’s oddly also have good ones.

Whistles have some high waisted styles

FlutterbButterfly · 27/03/2023 22:29

I second SeaFancy

Joanie have just launched some high waisted bikinis https://joanieclothing.com/swimwear.html

SirChenjins · 28/03/2023 10:37

Those Joanie ones are nice - and proper bum coverage, not the 45 degree or more cut that displays more bum cheek that anyone wants to see!

JennyTheDonkey · 28/03/2023 10:51

I tried the Riviera by Bravissimo at the weekend and it was lovely www.bravissimo.com/products/riviera-bikini-top-sw716/#stripe-sw716stp (photos of the high waisted bottoms are woeful) but there was lots of support both on top and bottom. I liked the look of the new Joanie ones but not convinced they'd be supportive enough on top and I'm fed up of ordering to have to send back.
Finisterre I found too small on top for me.

Just wanted to add good on you, the best thing that looks good with a bikini is confidence regardless of anyone's size or shape. I'm size 18 and more comfortable in a bikini on holiday (as long as it's got the right support) than some awful thing that's providing loads of coverage.

Following with interest as I'm in the same boat! I love the MeetCurve designs but don't trust them and their returns process looks horrendous.

Rebel2 · 28/03/2023 11:48

Curvy Kate does really good bikinis

Snoozinandlosin · 28/03/2023 12:11

An alternative suggestion is Board Shorts. Mine are from Seafolly, a few years old and are really good quality. The waist band sits across my mum tum and sort of holds it in, the coverage is obviously good but not so much I feel like I stand out. Lots of mix and match top options too.
mine are cut like these but different pattern:

I just got a great plain black one from Matalan online. I was surprised by how good the butt coverage was, there's a gathered front panel but they're supportive too, and they cover my butt, which nothing else I tried did!

Separate but same material twist front underwired bikini top. Supportive and flattering to my 36E chest.

This will be my first bikini since I started my family 10+ years ago.

Cupshe. I've several and they're great quality and a great range.
