As the name suggests, I'm short and fat. Size 18 typically. I'd like something not too high in the leg, preferably stomach control or at least ruched over the stomach area. I'd love a bandeau that can be worn with and without straps.
I'm struggling to find any that aren't shown on a rail thin, B cup, 6 foot model. While they look stunning, this absolutely doesn't represent what it'll look like on me.
I don't really want to pay over £45/50.
I would like it to look pretty, but for my boob's not to fall out when I actually swim in it.
Thank you 😊

After years of searching Halocline are now my holy grail for swimsuits. Good boob and bum coverage (especially the low leg version), come in longer length if you are long-torso'd and last really well (have used mine once a week for over a year and still good as new). The one I have is also fully lined but not sure if that's the same for all models.

Tummy Control Swimsuits

Tummy control swimsuits are ideal when you need a bit more support from your shaping swimwear. Tummy control swimwear helps smooth and flatter to give you that extra boost of body confidence when you need it most.

I'm size 18 and 5'3 and just splashed out on the Boden porto v neck and it looks really good/flattering. Stupidly expensive but excellent tummy control, support and look how pretty!

I happened to see a lovely one in Next this morning - green with crossover top part and "tummy control". I was tempted even though I don't swim.

I know it’s more expensive but Ralph Lauren does gorgeous one pieces that look amazing on a fuller figure. Worth the splurge.

I'm pleased you've started this thread as it's exactly what I'm looking for..bandeau with proper support for the old boobs. The cut of the figleaves ones look great but the patterns aren't so pretty. I've always thought a pattern detracts from a tummy so plain no good. So am still on the hunt.

Agreed about M and S swimsuits being shorter this year.
