Please help me find a swimming costume!!
I have ordered and sent back so many on line that i'm at my wits end.
I am looking for a swimming costume to wear on beach holidays and for a spa day that is coming up.
My main issue is that none seem to cover enough bum !
I didn't think I was a particularly weird shape but seems in swimsuits I am.
I'm 56 and 5ft 8inches, small bust (34A) and usually a size 10 for tops and trousers but I have been ordering a size 12 as none seem to cover enough cheek! but problem then of course is bust is too big and sometimes too short in the body
I have tried various from M&S, Boden and Next !
Wise Mumsnetters please help me find a swim suit with decent bum coverage that doesn't have lots of ruched tummy control and that will fit my bust!
Liked this but too high cut for my sagging bum ! https://www.marksandspencer.com/sculpt-broderie-trim-plunge-swimsuit/p/clp60759777?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r1c1%7Cprodflag_plp_ts_CBS_5

tried this https://www.marksandspencer.com/tummy-control-printed-bandeau-tankini-top/p/clp60784541?color=BLACKMIX#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r1c1%7Cprodflag_srp_ts_QP_70

tried this shape - again too highly cut for bum!

Thanks

Which Pour Moi style would people recommend for a very small (flat) bust? All the photos are way bustier than I am. Moulded cup essential as I hate showing my nipples.
