Looking for a flattering swimming costume

Have you considered a tankini? You could have a larger size top half with support and separate bottoms making trips to the loo easier. Is it for actual swimming?

I've just been looking at seimdresses,then I saw your post. There are some really pretty swimsuits here. I'm definitely going to buy the tropical print swimdress.

It is something I have not bought or worn for very many years so like yourself,I was very much "out of touch" but the on following the link to the bonmarche site as provided by hildajennij.............I was quite bowled over.
This is certainly one to purchase,a lovely style,great colour and good reviews whilst not costing "the arm and a leg" some of these swim wear items cost.

So happy sunbathing and swimming LyndaW.

Bravissimo do a great selection for those of us who are blessed. ?

Thank you chekseababy, I'd never considered a tankini before. I'd have to make sure it's a full fitting one but that might just fit the bill. Debenhams had some nice ones and I quite like this one in blue - and it's on sale at the moment! win win. Now, if only I looked like the leggy model wearing it...

Just bought this tanking. I like it. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LZGH7EZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?th=1&tag=gransnetforum-21&ie=UTF8

I bought this one from Tesco and was really surprised how nicely it fitted. I am a E cup bra but this swimsuit really holds me firmly so no overspill. I recently wore it on a short holiday abroad and two ladies asked where I’d bought it.

Being similarly blessed I always opt for a swim dress and have several now that are both comfortable and look good.

I have similar problem-well Imsee it as a problem. I don't like swimsuits with foam cups and always go for an under wired bra fitting one, either a tankini ( good if you are desperate for the loo) or a one piece. Fantasie do lovely ones but they are v expensive. Some places do them in sales . Figleaves a good place to look

Triumph Doreen swimming costume - you buy it by bust size. Flattering and comfortable.

Whilst replying to you flashing to the right of me is an advert for Rotita swimwear it looks fab. I am going to look it up on Google.

I usually buy from Lands End. They have designs to suit every figure and you will feel confident wearing them. They even have suits that have some control built in!

I also find the Landsend costumes wear well, and comfortable and they have a range of sizes and styles, they have lots of choice in separates.

NanKate. I have bought from Rotita (not swimwear) and they are very good, but the sizes tend to be on the small side, so it might be wise to look at their 'sizing page' first. Also, 365 Swimwear have some lovely styles for all ages. Hope this helps.

Try Zoggs. Chlorine resistant and styles to suit various body shapes.

Posted too soon. Zoggs do chlorine resistant but I don't think all are. Their sales very good value.

Thank you, Hildaj. I've just pursued your swimdress tip. Looks perfect for me. Bless GN (sometimes!)

Tu at Sainsbury's has some bright floral/tropical ones. Wish I'd waited but got a good tankini via M& Co after seeing a post on another thread a few months ago

I solved the problem of needing a wee urgently when wearing a swimming costume by not trying to take it off but just pulling aside the crotch part. Never had an "accident" when relieving myself this way!

I also wear Bon Marche. They are quite cheap and designed for the larger ladies.

There are some fabulous makes on TKMaxx online, in costumes and tankini, they are designed for curvy figures and really flatter. I got one reduced from £85 to £20.

M@Co also have a great selection if you need to mix and match top and bottom sizes.

I love Liz Hurley Range.

I look better in a bikini than a one piece and her range is fantastic. They are great quality and cut well. The link is for one pieces as you said swimming costume.

Nice prices too!
