flattering swimsuit advice

[jgulia]

Does anyone know of a swimwear make that subtly hoiks up and in saggy post-baby bits?I don't want anything that looks armoured and prefer halterneck/boyleg styles.

try figleaves - they have a sale on at the moment.

their miraclesuit is expensive at £110

here's a link:

I bought the black/white polka dot one from bravissimo, which was v.v.v.v.v. flattering. I was the only person wearing a one piece in France, but it looked damn good, whereas I thought I looked shocking in a bikini. Although I am slim I am untoned.

It was about £45 I think, although I can't actually remember and may be completely making that up...defo less than £60.

thanks guys-I'm like you rubles cos I really suit a one piece but even when I was a size 8 and super fit looked v.poor in a bikini!

speedo sculpture is good too.

Second vote for speedo sculpture here (I have to declare an interest as I work for them). I took 2 of the 1 pieces and one of the sculpture bikinis (with a high waist to control rampant muffin top) on holiday recently and felt very sleek. Looking around on the beach (bit of a bus mans holiday for me), I struggled to see anyone apart from teenage girls looking good in their bikinis - fabrics not supportive enough or cuts not flattering. The whole point of the sculpture range is to flatter and give subtle hold and support. We also do a 'younger' range in Sculpture fabric called 'chic' and this has some really elegant styles. You can buy online now at speedo.com
Sorry I know the above sounds like an ad, but having tried so much swimwear for work, I do really rate the range.

ooh mandy i do love it as you can see from my recommendation. but i have found teh chlorine resistance is very poor on the lining for such an expensive garment.

Hmm - yes, unfortunately the lining (if you go for a style with a lining) will probably be in a normal nylon lycra - hence much less chlorine resistant than the main fabric, even if it is in the sculpture fabric, but a lighter weight it would probably degrade faster. But I will point it out to the product manager.
