Early Adopter, what would fit her or look good?

ThePhantomPlopper · 17/05/2009 20:26

So i can wear a vest top on the beach with my bikini pants?

My tits are fine its just the deformed wrinkly belly button that is stopping me wearing a bikini with no coverage. No one wants to see that.

EarlyAdopter · 17/05/2009 20:31

mind you if it is realy hot you need sleeves if oyu are in the sun all day.

a lot of kaftans are nylon which is horrendous

EarlyAdopter · 17/05/2009 20:33

tigana · 17/05/2009 20:38

themoon66...that saress thingy is one of those things I see and think "I could make that, for less money"...then never do!

mrsmaidamess · 17/05/2009 20:39

EarlyAdopter · 17/05/2009 20:43

EarlyAdopter · 17/05/2009 20:43

DO nto buy a saress.
its like buying clothes from Weekenders.

FfreckleFface · 17/05/2009 20:44

Nothing! We are going to a spa in Munich where nudeness is the done thing (according to Bloke, anyway).

I still have two months to starve myself slim down a little, and take the iron to my wrinkly tummy tone up slightly, and am excited but nervous.

Surfermum · 17/05/2009 20:45

Probably a wet suit and hoodie. We're going to Cornwall in August .

EarlyAdopter · 17/05/2009 20:48

oh i DO like you SM.

you are so pleasingly cool

ThePhantomPlopper · 17/05/2009 20:54

Surfermum · 17/05/2009 21:00

Thank you - and there was me thinking I shouldn't be on a style thread .

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 17/05/2009 21:36

Yes PP. You can definitely wear a bikini with a wrinkly tum but if you feel self-conscious when walking about/running after DCs just put on a vest top

What size/colours do you like/need? Perhaps we can help with the search

ThePhantomPlopper · 17/05/2009 22:02

Oh yes help please!

I'm a size 8.

Think I'd like a bright colour.

Thanking you!

EarlyAdopter · 17/05/2009 22:36

I think life too short to agonise over your tums when lets face it over 35 who is interested in them!!

PP - cup size please

ThePhantomPlopper · 17/05/2009 22:39

32B.

Stomachs OK until i sit down then it does that wrinkly thing.

OP posts:
TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 17/05/2009 23:41

budget?

Tummy doesn't sound bad at all. I have the wrinkly thing whether sitting or standing.

CandleQueen · 17/05/2009 23:58

This is what I will be wearing on the beach this summer.

Oliveoil · 18/05/2009 06:17

I wear bikinis

with vest over when running about, have crepey stomach but not really arsed tbh

shorts

I also have some dresses that I throw over bikini for the way there and back

imo there is always someone with a better or worse body on the beach so stop fretting

ThePhantomPlopper · 18/05/2009 11:35

No budget.

LOL at CQ

I think with a bit of colour my stomach will be fine, it looks worse than it is ATM as it's so pasty.

I think green might be a good colour.
