Just that really. Figure is ok, but I do have big(ish) boobs (32E/F) and a few faded stretchies on my tum. I accept that I'm not going to be a Baywatch Babe this year, but I do want to look at least ok in a bikini.

Boobs are pretty perky, so no real need for underwiring, would prefer some sort of stomach holding in panel on the pants really.

So top half I'm pretty flexible on and bottom half can be anything but a thong or one with stringy sides, which will make me look like a ham hock.

If you buy from figleaves;
Spend £40 or more type in FEC-FD3-DB6 in the voucher section in checkout and get £10 off

Spend £60 or more type in D66-CEC-98D in the voucher section in checkout and get £15 off

Ideally the top will be this shape , and the bottoms will be this shape

Can't find any that match within my budget that I like . Again, budget is £50

So, if you order on-line what types of bikini suit what shape of body? The models always look the same to me and I haven't got the time (or inclination) to go to M&S and try on loads.

Not your fault at all but mine
I shall try and find some charm and sweet talk my way out of it.

Came across stunningbikinis.co.uk but got a virus from their site
Now officially quarantined
I am expecting a visit shortly from my (notso) friendly IT manager.

They look frumpy on big boobed women, as a rule.

NdP if you want the figleaves bikini thingy, type in 48B-55B-238 at checkout in the vouchers bit, and you get £20 off ofcourse you'll still be a little over budget but that's the best I could do...

trouble is the 2 strap ones just have a tendency to look mumsy/frumpy and dull
