Cheaper alternative to these two swimsuits?

[PainfreePain]

Omg, I am going out of my mind trying to find a cheaper alternative to either of these 😞
Can someone help please?

She likes the spaghetti strap, leg styles and back. Tried the usual high st places online eg Zara.

UK size 4 ideally. Open to colour.

Thankyou 🙏

They don’t look like any high street swimsuits I’ve ever seen…….

Sadly I don’t think you are wrong 😖
Designed by someone called Cassie Ho in the USA apparently, according to my tween. Bless her, she understands it’s an awful lot of money and has asked if an alternative exists.

She doesn’t want anything much for Christmas other than this. I wouldn’t spend this on myself! If she had stopped growing it wouldn’t be a problem….

How much are they?

I thought they would be about 600 but at 67 I think ok. It’s very cute. Not seen anything similar tho I’m afraid.
the blue one doesn’t seem to hermit the model well. It’s a bit loose on her. The black one is sold out.

I've not seen any like this but I love the corsetry detail; definitely my style too!

Watching with hope! 🤞

I also don’t think that’s particularly expensive but appreciate it could be due to budget constraints.

Sorry I can’t help with finding an alternative.

If your tween (under 13?) has found these, leave it to her to find an alternative. She's clear very style and internet savvy.

Ah, I should have mentioned it’s for my 11 year old and comment about growing. Apols!

Price-per-wear it will be sky-high because the P&P is another £30 on top!

This is true actually, it is locked down to a degree so she shouldn’t see questionable images. I did make her google local fireworks displays earlier 😂

I suspect she found this swimsuit thanks to a game called ‘Dress to Impress’.

Any on Vinted?

Amazon has loads of swimsuits, perhaps try ChatGPT with the image to ask for similar but cheaper ones.

Given they are women’s surely they won’t be sized for an 11 year old child? I don’t know why you wouldn’t just say those aren’t for children.

I agree with this - it’s clearly shaped for someone with a (slight) bum and (small) boobs. Even a size 4 will just look odd on her because a slim woman is a different shape to a girl.

Get her to look at some teen brands?

ChatGPT suggested Zilaro, Next and Nike which I searched last night but thankyou.

Where would I look for a tween? I have tried River Island, New Look, Zara, H&M, Gap, various others.

Amazon, when I search for a crossover or corset swimsuit either misses out the spaghetti strap or brings up a swimskirt (full skirt)

The Riptide Romper she likes, when I search for an alternative brings up playsuits.

Sign up to the newsletter and you get 15% off. Makes it £56. I’d probably get her one. High street swimsuits are about £40-50 anyway now.

You can always resell on Vinted

Sorry 11? I am not sure they’re appropriate for a child. For one, will they even fit her body considering they’re built with adult breasts and hips in mind?

no 11 year old of mine would be wearing these.

Sorry, it looks like something a pole or lap dancer might wear. 😕
Maybe look at dance leotards? I doubt you'd find a children's outfit with a corset detail on it.

I found this but they're miles too big. https://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/yours-curve-green-plunge-neckline-corset-swimsuit-150666-p?ltiCountry=GB&ltiCurrency=GBP

Romwe has this lace back one for £8.99. I don’t know about the brands ethics or the swimsuits appropriateness but she might like it: https://m.romwe.com/uk/Summer-Beach-Lace-Up-Back-One-Piece-Swimsuit-p-2874694.html?ref=m&rep=dir&ret=muk

I think an 11 yo in this would look like she was wearing lingerie.

Or this one for £32: https://m-uk.cupshe.com/products/black-plunging-slim-sculpt-lace-up-back-one-piece-CAA12E4M058AA?srsltid=AU7gw4VlvQHGElsNaqoR9M4P_Yfwl9PvcG1rFo1zDsn75GIoGGmhr5b5

That’s £115…

I did, thankyou but I haven’t received it 🤷🏻‍♀️
Also then used an email address I allocate for spam & haven’t received one there either. It’s the P&P that whacks it up unfortunately.

There is a black one on vinted atm I think, it’s open to offers. Or at least, it was when it was on there.

This is partly why I want to order one in the UL - easy returns, I’ll be checking the policy. If it’s too sexual it will be going back.

Do t forget the size conversion, a UK 4 is an American zero

Ah bugger! Out of stock 😭😭
Had good coverage and was an ok price. Darn! Thankyou - one to watch!
