One piece swimming costume with shorts but a strappy top with built in bra?

Think it might be the holy grail. I'm looking for a new costume for holiday. I prefer a shorts style bottom (rather than a skirt). I'm 59 and have a reasonable figure for my age. I'm around 5'10 and size 12 and relatively proportionate.

I don't however want a sports style top to the costume as that looks overly heavy on me, I prefer a thin strap. Also, I need cups, my boobs are not as perky as they once were so without leaves me squished a bit lower than is flattering.

Anyone come across anything that might fit the bill? Plain colour preferred.

I got a Slazenger one with boy legs which washes well and I swim a lot. It’s quite tight fitting though and not much bust support, so may not be suitable

...and not really holiday attire, which is what OP is looking for.

If OP was happy with 2 piece there would be many, many options, but the one piece boy leg ones seem to be designed with pool/lane/sport swimming rather than holiday. There's a gap in the market I think.
