Can I get away with a bikini and if so, which style would be flattering?

I fluctuate between a 14/16 and have lost a tiny bit of weight recently, so probably more 14. My biggest flaw is my tummy, so for years I've avoided bikinis and yet every holiday I find myself surrounded by women of a similar size and larger in bikinis. So I'd like to give it a go, but I still have the tummy issue.

What shape or style would be best to go for? I have standard 36C boobs. We are on holiday at half term, hence the concern.

i am a size 18 and wore a bikini last week on holiday. no-one bats an eye lid as there are always lots of shapes and sizes. although i asked my dh if i looked ok and he said i looked like 'a white blamange'

honestly, i was more concious of being too pale than i was about being fat.

Thank you ladies, will go to m&s tomorrow. Loved the bra-stop one, but I think I've been talked out of a tankini. Have a leg wax and st trop all book, so hopefully will look more chocolate blancmange.
