Following for ideas!

The black gingham tankini with high waisted bottoms from Tu at sainsburys is flattering, and cheap. And the bottoms hold everything in, plus I can wee easily ;)

Thanks ! Looking for a one piece. I feel that tankinis are not flattering on me sadly.

Reporting back on the panache suit.. it was too short, very thick fabric and the cups were too small. “Sigh!”

have just ordered a couple from Next to try:

Fantasie make cup sized swimsuits

Tankini tops from Bravissimo but I get plain bottoms from places like Sports Direct or Matalan to keep the cost down. (I have swim shorts and a swim skirt).

I have the Next one in navy. Very flattering and comfortable and the adjustable straps are great for my long torso.

I have ordered cup sized - it’s a great idea as long as the swimsuit is long enough for my trunk!

I’ve got this one from Summersalt. Bought at a time when I was in some despair of finding a costume with enough coverage at the back. It’s great. I have had costumes with absolutely no bust support ( from Next) and bikinis that were uncomfortably push up ( Pour Moi) but this was neither… enough support without being rigid. If I ever have another big beach holiday I’d look at one of their other designs ( they also seem to do styles with longer bodies which someone mentioned up thread)

The Perfect Wrap One Piece | Summersalt

The wrap style of this stunner is universally-flattering, and the compression means everything will stay in place while you dive into adventure.

These look lovely! Are the sizes American?

You know what I was thinking this when I posted the link… I can’t remember. I will need to check mine when I get back home. I was a size 18 though at the time.

Divebar2021 · 16/07/2025 08:36

The fact they start at a 2 makes me think they’re American but I’ll double check.

I’m a size 20-22 with big boobs, I like the swimming costumes from Simply be - think they’re called magisculpt? Size down to get the boob support though, I went for a size 22 initially and my boobs were almost floating out 😳😂

SoftLass · 16/07/2025 08:41

I have several colours of this one - https://www.next.co.uk/style/st450795/b59003

I'm 5'10, GG cup and was size 18 until a couple of months ago. I have a long torso and these are perfect fit for me.

Love that colour
