Swimwear size 14

Can anyone help with swimwear please?! We go away in a week and this is the first time we have been abroad since before Covid. I have had 2 pregnancies since then, and whilst I haven’t put on a huge amount of weight I definitely don’t feel the same, also thinking the swimwear required for running after a toddler by the pool may be different to what I would have gone for before! I am 5ft 7 and size 14, any help would be much appreciated.

Can I hang around OP? I'm similar size and while my toddler is a lolliing great teen now we've our first abroad holiday since covid so I'm after a couple of simple yet lovely bikinis too. I'm torn on "scaffolding " as whilst it looks better at >coughs> my age I find it takes bloody ages to dry and I end up going to lunch with a wet T shirt look going on.

Fantasie swimwear is lovely (I am a curvy 14 with big boobs). It's pricey but well made and flattering, also comfy.

Check out Freya lingerie's swimwear range which is fitted by cup size. I bought two bikinis from them last year - flattering for me - I'm also a size 14 and have had four babies. Their own website is simple to use / compare styles - lots of shape options for each fabric.

Brastop do decent swimwear - they’ve currently got a sale on. You can order by bra size.
@Deadinthewaternow - not sure if you’ll get in within the week. Though you might be able to do next day delivery.

I’m a 12-14 (but 34G bra) and got This and This from Amazon over the last 6 months. (size L in both).

Maybe not the most stylish options but they’re comfortable, and feel secure for swimming and running about with children.

I also have a Freya bikini top, heaps of options on eBay, especially if you pick something like a black based print, then you can pick up plain black bottoms in your preferred style anywhere.

I second Freya. Great for bigger busted ladies. Very flattering too

I like next as you cam mix and match tops and bottoms. Bra sized tops are good and thr bikini bottoms aren't too skimpy.
