Help! Need to find a new swimsuit that is more interesting and flattering than the plain black speedo tank suit I have been trying to burn off the baby weight in.

I have an upcoming beach holiday and a spa weekend for a friends hen do so can spend a reasonable amount.

Am 5'4" ish, 12ish on top, 14 on bottom, reasonable b cup boobs (better with a bit of support) flattish tummy til you get to the usual mummy overhang under my tummy button and wider hips heading into saddlbags making me a very british pear shape.

I have absolutely no idea where to start looking - please can anyone help? Can get to most high street shops but mail order is attractive so I can order lots of sizes and try them on in private at home first . . .

Thank you!

Have you had a look on figleaves?

I am very similar in shape to you and ended up with a tankini last year - pattern on the top and black bottoms to distract from my wobbly tummy and thighs! I bought it online at Rosemary Twang.

Also Zodee have lots of swimwear.

You could always try Heidi Klein although they are a bit brief for me!

I find BHS ones good... they did some last summer with panels to hold in saggy tummy, and a ruched front that was very flattering... Quite cheap too.

Ah Thank You! Will get surfing now and have a look although ordered a selection from Boden last night . . .
