Flattering bikini

[namechanged221]

Any recommendations? I just bought one online and it looks awful so back it goes..

I size 12 but looking for something high waisted as need to hide my weird, post birth belly

I’m also size 12 and DC2 is 18 months - went abroad in June and had a mare with bikinis. The most flattering style I found was these, these are the ones I actually bought and felt comfortable in. High waisted ones to me look dreadful, they’re not slimming and just highlight that you’re trying to cover up, these ones were high enough to cover my lower wobble but didn’t feel like too much material.

For the top I just bought a plain black crop top style bra because I hate bra style bikini tops.

I agree, I find that high waisted bottoms just exaggerate the wobble and make things look worse. I've had a couple of flattering bikinis and swimsuits from Boden over the last couple of years.

Ahh thanks.

Yes the lower tummy is the worst bit.

I'll look on Boden

Really nice fabric.

Freya bikinis are really good I find.
