Swimsuit suggestions less than £100!

[Justkoko]

Look for a swimsuit size 14-16 but larger chest and rounded tummy. Normally get a underwired swimsuit but prefer a little bit more coverage on my chest and not feeling so 'out there'. Anything that isn't underwired just feels like a homogenous blob though! No definition at all under the bust so makes my waist look bigger if that makes sense. Also would rather not spend £100 on something I rarely wear! Any suggestions other than the usual black sensible style? These are fine but something prettier would be nice.

Cupshe - also they have this amazing return policy whereby you can keep the few swimwear you bought for 30% of the total price, meaning you can resale the swimsuits you dont want on vinted and keep the swimsuits you like for free!

I'm your proportions OP and swim in the sea almost every day so have lots of swimsuits. My favourite swimsuit was my cheapest one. It's from Bon Marche!!

It's a year old now, washes well, has kept all its shape and colour (despite having a hammering in the sea). Lovely v neck but not revealing and a subtle wrap around the tummy which hides a multitude of sins.

Occasionally I see someone else wearing the same suit and always say OH I have that suit and without fail they rave about it. I've bought a couple of similar ones from there too for about £12 in the sale.

I know Bon Marche isn't chi chi but do give them a look.

Try Pour Moi

That’s because they’re a Chinese company like Shein!

This is one of the best swimsuits I have ever owned. Generous space for chest area and ruching round the tummy. Comfy as well and good coverage.

Next have got some lovely swimsuits to support bigger, sagging bosoms (like mine) and rounded tummies. I have bought 2 and they do the job perfectly. £40-42

Pretty sure that's the same one I have. Emergency purchase day before a spa day. It got several positive comments from friends.

Bloomchic! So nice and actually suit a curvier figure.

I've bought 4 of these over the years, in various sizes and colours. Good coverage, but still a little bit sexy! Pads in the bust for modesty, but sewn in, so no fiddling around after washing.

highly recommend this

Another vote for Boden - never go anywhere else.

Bloomchic are actually fabulously supportive for a bigger bust and are the only swinsuits I feel confident in.

I'm H cup and much bigger than you. I love this tankini because its the only non-wired swim wear I feel comfortable in and holds me up and in. I have the black one. The stomach ruching is flattering too. I haven't tried the kath kidson one but might order it.

Boden and Bravissimo.I'm 32DD/30E and size 10 with a bit of a belly.

I've got the Bravissimo Miami - not wired, good support and coverage, looks stylish. Only downside is it's slow to dry.

Been down various rabbit holes here! Thank you! Whilst searching thought I'd try a couple from simply be. We'll see. The Matalan one might be worth a look too. I just don't know why a quality swimsuit needs to be nearly £100, especially when I'll only use it a few times a year. Had spotted the regatta ones but wondered how they were for bust room and support. If the shape doesn't round in under the bust, then the smallest part of my waist/ribcage gets swallowed up and I look bigger than I really am.
