Help me find swimsuit?

I have searched high and low, thinking it'd be easy as i was doing it early but no joy.

I would like a one piece it must be

*not black (i'm too pale and prone to look blue in the sun as it is)
*not halterneck
*not spotty (made that mistake when i was pregnant, felt like the fat lady from an oo-er missus saucy postcard. to add to the effect my husband is v v slim. sigh. all needed was a knotted hanky and a crab hanging from an extremity)
*not blousy or, you know, cruise ship-y

and ideally not ruched like the miraclesuit things - look really weird on me.

any recommendations?

i have checked m&s, figleaves, various online sites, laura ashley, next, debenhams.

i had a choc brown one which was flattering in the slimming sense and discrete like black but without that goth look which someone with my (lack of) colouring gets with sun+black clothing.

so brown is good but i'm open to suggestions!

and v neck as er i don't know but think that's more flattering when you're brick shaped (like me). i'm like a mr maker shape. 'i am a rectangle'

oh biscuits! Offers round the hobnobs - spills crumbs everywhere...
I quite like the brown one.

madcapmyrtle · 23/04/2010 19:56

It is a halter neck, so could be a complete no for you....but I bought a Boden 'Boyleg' swimsuit last year...very flattering, and forgiving! link

gatheringstones · 23/04/2010 20:11

Boyleg could work for me - but is it high in the neck like it looks in the picture? Because the last couple I have had have revealed way too much sternum.
