No you look lovely in them x

FruityFrog · 02/04/2026 19:18

They look a) nice and b) comfy.

Bishbashbush · 02/04/2026 19:19

You look great and what you’ve chosen is flattering. If you feel good, that’s all that matters!

DragonsFurry · 02/04/2026 19:22

One piece would look better visually as these ones are cutting you in half.

Umbrellasinthesunshine · 02/04/2026 19:23

Not at all. You look great. Dont waste a moment of your time worrying about whether or not your body looks a certain way, or how it looks in a certain light, or whether you should be more tan, less tan, bigger boobs, smaller boobs, taller, shorter, slimmer, curvier, bigger bum, smaller bum, rounder hips, less hips, narrower feet, less long toes, longer toes…. Geez the list goes on and on and … doesn’t it just strip the joy out of being alive, having a swim and hanging out with loved ones. You look great.

It makes her stomach look great though and her waist.

Blanknotebook · 02/04/2026 19:24

They look lovely. The flowery one is my favourite.

LiveLuvLaugh · 02/04/2026 19:28

I would love to have your figure and lovely skin. I like the flowery one best too, but both nice.

YeaVerily · 02/04/2026 19:30

I'd give my right arm to look like that in a two piece. Well, not literally, obviously.
But you know what I mean. You look good.

Puppylucky · 02/04/2026 19:32

I am really sorry but I'm not seeing what everyone else is seeing. The OP has lovely skin but is overweight and a two piece isn't doing her any favours. A one piece would help give her torso shape and cover her tummy.

Comedycook · 02/04/2026 19:36

Your figure is fine for a two piece. I don't think they look great in all honesty but my actual issue is the colour and patterns

The colour of both doesn't suit your colouring. I also really dislike the pattern on the first and think stripes aren't quite right for you.

Id wear a two piece in much stronger plain colour if I were you.

marvellousmoo · 02/04/2026 19:45

I really like the flowery first one. It would look great with a tan.

NewBrightonEel · 02/04/2026 19:46

You look gorgeous- wish I had your legs!

Pancakesandcream33 · 02/04/2026 19:48

Get higher high waisted bottoms with a smaller top. It will draw the attention up and away from your mid section. If you can find some that finish a little higher up where your waist is smallest and then get a good bra like top to accentuate your boobs and a nice kimono then your poolside ready 👌 I find plain bright or dark coloured swim suits make me feel much better about my figure. I avoid any pale or wishy washy tones.

Jackiepumpkinhead · 02/04/2026 19:51

No, you look perfectly nice! I do think higher waisted bikini knickers are much more flattering than the shorts type ones. And I mean on everybody’s body!

localnotail · 02/04/2026 19:52

You would look better in smaller pants or in one piece. I dont know anyone who looks good in huge pants which seems to be fashionable atm. But you look good anyway, and the flowery one is nicer.

GetOffTheCounter · 02/04/2026 19:52

I really like the floral one. Not so sure about the stripes, but that's because personally i don't like horizontal stripes.

Love the style though- it's exactly the sort of suit i'd like to wear and I have a very similar shape to you so will look out for the same. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Holidaymodeon · 02/04/2026 19:58

The flower one is lovely. Think you could do with some bolder ones, brighter colours, Jewel colours or green and black , plain or bigger patterns.
enjoy

TallMam · 02/04/2026 20:06

I like the black and white. The 2 red flowers are placed rather strangely on the pattern and to me looks as though it's nipples (looked at my own outfits in pics and sometimes buttons make it look like my boobs are super droopy (they are but no need to accentuate that 😅))
However, wear what you feel the best in and you will rock it! Enjoy summer 😊

JG24 · 02/04/2026 20:11

I think I prefer the striped. You have a lovely waist

I agree. I feel like I’m in some kind of parallel universe here.

Fundraiser12345 · 02/04/2026 14:56

First of all thank you so all so much for such lovely comments they’ve gave a huge confidence boost which I kind of needed!!

im gonna pop some tan on too which always makes me feel a little better

both swim suits are from SHEIN

I hate Shein and Temu but put that aside I think you look great in the flowery one.

I think everyone is understandably trying to be kind and that’s great, but I prefer the friends of mine who tell me the truth.

Imo OP would look much better in a one piece.

Strumpetpumpet · 02/04/2026 20:38

I think they look great! I haven’t worn any type of two piece/bikini since my honeymoon 27 years ago 😂 but one piece swimsuits really aren’t comfy on me and torsos are never long enough/boob support is never right so I’ve been wondering about trying a two piece and I love the style of those you’ve picked 💕

Since when did overweight = not looking good? Fatphobic much? The OP looks great in the flowery one, the other one isn't flattering imo. A onepiece would look good but this isn't what OP has bought and is asking about opinions on..
