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

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.

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

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... hmm

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

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.

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.

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?

My floral old faithful has reached the end of its life. The one arm is definitely lacking in elasticity and I'm worried I might have a wardrobe malfunction next time I dare wear it! That would be horrible for anyone to see grin. But I've had it so long I don't really know where to start looking for a replacement. I'm shall we say 'blessed' in the bosom department, have not much waist to speak of and would like something both comfortable and pretty. Any ideas?
