help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Im trying to find a gorge 3rd bikini and you know when you just cant find what it is you're looking for? Well Ive ordered and sent back umpteen styles and Im fed up now.

Im looking at these today , as I either want cobalty blueish/navy(soreeeee cods), magenta/purple or grey.

Tis all blamed on my previous purchases of ; magenta and white kaftan, my navy flip flops and navy and white handkerchief sun dress ! Im obsessed with matching one of those to not look like a box of all sorts.

I think you have to be good at choosing amongst 5billion choices and also discerning online.

It seems the manufacturers dont deem our chests endowed enough to bother with a bit of ooomfyness!

Nice shape that figleaf one triffictits, lol at name , wish mine were still , I was 34c in between my dd's!

There is a lovely blue one in the M&S magazine - code is T52/4563 but it is NOT on their website and not in the Trafford Centre store. I really want it for my hols.

I also really like this purple one

may get this for myself

melsy · 27/05/2008 23:26

oohhh thats nice,really lovely actually, but alas my golf balls in socks will make me appear droopy .

wonder if I can get hold of their magazine

aefondkiss · 27/05/2008 23:42

hmmm they are triangles with string....
this?

melsy · 31/05/2008 22:00

Thank you all for your ideas, I bought and tried on several more and none covered all my tummy scars ,(especially the top shop ones) and I just felt like the boob bits would fall of as soon as I slipped into the pool!

I opted for this in the end if anyone wants to see!

Navy , halter , padded , understated and plain!

Lets hope I dont feel underwhelmed wearing it next week!

LaDiDaDi · 31/05/2008 22:02

I really like it, it's exactly the style of top that suits me best.

melsy · 31/05/2008 22:03

They're great aren't they. I seem to have ended up with 3 the same shape , all different colours though.

Can you believe after all that, Ive gone and lost the blardy bottoms to the loveliest bikini set I ever bought (mind you it looks nothing online). Pathetic I know, but it took me several threads and loads of purchases and returns and it fit soo nice ,Im really peeeved, as its so hard to find anything when Im like a 12 year old girl up top .

I now only have one for my hols in a couple of weeks, as I ruined another as it got torn on a rock!!

Back to friggin sqaure one

Does Selfridges do bikini's this time of year I wonder.
