I did order a swimsuit from Bravissimo a few months ago - v short in the body and made me feel a bit hunchbacky.

Went into the shop the other day and there wasn't anything in my size.

Depressed myself in M&S with old-lady weirdy support ones.

Yep, was that Antigua one I ordered and it was hunchbacky.

I love the turquoise one like yours, Cod, but it's 3-5 days delivery - 3 days would be fine, 5 days not good.

Maybe I'll get both and hope Bravissimo one turns up in time!

Hmm, they have it in black from Figleaves

What's Figleaves' return policy like?

Well no Hunker, don?t take my word for it, try it on!

Just I find personally that that style is erm, not as supportive as I would like.

I think it looks nice tho!

The other one might be a better bet. How much actual swimming are you planning? Skinny straps look super for the beach but not so great for laps in the pool

I don't think I'll have time to try it on before Thursday and only if it's in stock. I am going to get one from Figleaves - this one in bitter chocolate

Oh dear sorry posted without seeing thread had moved on.

Loving some of those Cod. Especially the one with the bow at the back. But I need to know can I swim in them?

Ah I see you say you swim in yours...

I actually like the old lady one - but I am long bodied so maybe not good....

i have that same shape fantasie one from a couple of years ago, in a brown & turquoise print. it's lovely & a very flattering (my norks are 36g ). unfortunately i've worn mine out so now have a miraclesuit via ebay. good for the tummy, not sure about norks in halterneck....

Yum, brown and turquoise! I saw the Miraclesuit but £££ on Figleaves. Might try ebay for one if I get the swimming bug again.

Clary, the old lady one is v short. Nice swimsuit, but you'll look like you should be on bell duty in Notre Dame if you wear it too long.
