To bikini or not to bikini, that is the question...

To cut to the chase, I have a big bum and hips (size 14-16) but quite a small waist (comparatively ) and wondered if I can still wear a bikini without embarrassing myself!

My tummy's relatively flat (but I'm definitely not a gym bunny - its squishy but not too droopy!) and I don't really have any noticeable stretch marks. My skin is fair and I have dark hair (not a good combo when it comes to bikini lines...)

I always feel better in a bikini because I think a swimsuit makes me look a bit 'blocky' but I'll be 33 when we go on hols at the end of May and perhaps after two kids I need to be realistic.

Anyone have any thoughts, or could suggest a cossie that would hold me in and push me out in all the right places I'd appreciate it!

My bust is 36D to finish off the full-body overview...

Sorry this has turned into an inch by inch appraisal of me!

Think I will Shhhh - I might even get the cossie too, just in case I feel a bit shy!

Get yourself a really good fitting bikini - maybe higher briefs and a supportive cup.

33 is really young so go flaunt what the good God gave you

Hi I love Freya bikinis. I am a similar size and wore the Darling Harbour bikini but with these bottoms. Looked fantastic even if I say so myself!!
