Good quality swimwear recommendations

I need some swimwear for holiday and don’t mind spending a bit more as it’s something I would keep for years. Is there swimwear that gives a bit more shape and support - bust and tummy ideally.

I’m 50 and relatively slim but have a sticky out tum (muscles never recovered from kids) and boobs that benefit from a bit of support.

Have had bravissimo in the past but found the actual bra bit quite fiddly and uncomfy. Is there such a thing as a material or shape that would give some support?

Just bought one from pour moi after trying on cheap ones in next and M&S. Nothing compares to expensive swimwear for support

How much more do you not mind spending?

Eres is pretty much the gold standard for supportive swimwear (something about the fabrics they use) but it’s really not cheap:

Watching with interest - have been struggling to find good stuff since Deakin & Blue went down. That said, I bought a nice wireless one-piece from Curvy Kate recently which is working nicely, very supportive of a large bust + flattering.

@Ridingthegravytrainthanks - am so inexperienced with designer wear so I didn’t know if there was a real difference or just paying for the name!

@abitbloodybrighterovertherethey look great but I think I am more at the £200 mark rather than the £500. I’m aware of prism as I went to school with the designer! I like it but it doesn’t look like it would support my boobs.

I've got some really nice swimwear from Bloomchic.

Boden halter neck bikinis are good. Or Seafolly.
