I do swim at my local pool but I won't get away with wearing my speedo boyleg suit on a sandy beach! But seriously, I've found it so hard to find something suitable which in my case is supportive, pretty and not too low cut. I don't do bikinis, one shoulder, strapless, cut outs, high legs or plunge front but it seems all that's available right now is a mixture of everything of the above which is so frustrating. Also something under £30 but of course all the ones that I've liked have been well over this. Seafolly have beautiful swimsuits but they're around £90 which I cannot justify spending for something I probably will only wear on this holiday alone.
I bought these two suits from the Boden sale but as gorgeous and well fitting as they are, they show SO much cleavage it's not even funny. My everyday bra has more coverage so back they went and I found this little number from Tesco for around £9 using an online discount code.
I have a thing for florals if you hadn't already noticed and I thought this was really pretty but once again, it is plop if you are a C cup and above. I took it for a test swim in the pool and thankfully I was wearing a cropped tankini top underneath (which made me look like an idiot) because in the water the front drooped down completely. Argh! I still haven't found anything else so looks like I'm going to have to buy an underwired bikini top to wear underneath.
Am I the only one with swimwear problems? :(
Love these ones. I have a problem with one pieces because of my height, at almost 5'11 its hard to find ones in local shops long enough for my body:)

I'm only 5'4 but the red boden one came up really short on me. I know M&S do longer bodied ones xx
DeleteLol at your cute Minnie costume! Had a little chuckle :)
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not the only one who struggles... I find it impossible! Especially since I'm top heavy and don't want everything to spill out. And I refuse to wear a 2 piece. So I've given up swimming all together :P

I got so annoyed, not everyone who wants to go swimming wants to have their boobs completely on show! xx
DeleteLove that red one. And how cute is that that they come with their own little matching pouches?

I know I love them, I wanted to keep them for the bags alone!
DeleteUrgh this sounds like me! The best swimsuit I own I actually found in Asda, of all places, for about £12. Underwired halter neck with tummy control, in sensible black - not the most inspired choice but it has served me well! Better than M&S, dare I say it! Good luck with your search, I hope you find something that will suit! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI looked in Asda too but they didn't have any in store despite it being flipping August and all the nice ones online were sold out :( xx
DeleteI have a really plain black one from years ago too and have been looking for a pretty new one for ages. There's a few in places like Bravissimo and Figleaves that look promising, like this one:

Thanks Naz, I'm having a look but I think I need to steer clear of halternecks xx
DeleteLove the minnie mouse swimsuit! It might be worth looking on asos, I'm sure my Seafolly swimsuit was reduced from £90 to £45.
ReplyDeleteI've been stalking Asos to see if they've put anything on sale yet. £45 is still a wee bit too much for me xx
DeleteI love the Tesco one! I haven't been on a beach holiday in years either! Have fun Hun, and give a thought to us stuck in the dreary UK weather...then again why would you :) xx
ReplyDeleteDon't worry I will do my best to bring back some sunshine ;) xx
