Boden Costume, anyone happy with theirs?

Im sending that awful teadress back and have had no luck with the other dresses so for practically the same price I thought I may as well buy a decent costume. Ive always found their swimwear flimsy for me (I am a 34f) but, has anyone had any experience with this years? I was thinking this www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Swimwear/Swimsuits/WS020/Womens-Crossover-Swimsuit.html?NavGroupID=17 but is it too frumpy?

No, not frumpy.

However, last year, I did buy a swinsuit and the elastic went around the leg. Wasn't sure if it was me though, because I didn't rinse it after every swim.

Im no swimmer, which is why I rarely buy swimsuits. Its just for holidays and because there is nothing else in the catalogue.

I bought a size 18 Boden halterneck swimsuit last year, with moulded cups (size 34gg approx) and my husband thought it looked fab.

Have you tried Bravissimo? I like their tankinis.Good support.

I'm a 34H so need good support too.

They are really pretty. The only reason I ordered the Boden one was because I had to exchange a dress and I didnt fancy getting another cardigan from there so was abit stuck. I will see how this one is but I will look at more of the Bravissimo stock when I get paid!

I just order the flowery costume in purple and will report back when it arrives.

I am no swimmer, beach lounger either, but black suits are so boring. It will be nice to have something pretty for a change.
