Hello to the UK people here.
Anyone able to help me? I am going on holiday in just under a month and I am in dire need of some new beautiful swimwear. I am normally a size 16 (18 in trousers/jeans) but when it comes to swimwear I require a size 18 owing to the fact that I have a long torso, larger rear and a semi-large bust. I also
Does anyone know of any good UK shops that cater for the fuller figure? I hate Evans and New Look by the way. I have looked at ASOS Curve but their Curve range does not seem to contain swimwear which I predicted would be the case. I don't like tankinis either but I am open to them if they are nice.
I would particularly love to buy some bikinis but they would have to have a high waisted pair of knickers for obvious reasons (kangaroo pouch). Kind of 1950s vintage/retro looking if you get me. Anyone know of any good shops for this?
My fashion sense is quite loud and colourful. I would love neon or animal print.
I would be so grateful for any help
Thanks so much,
Georgina

There are some good ones in Asda at the moment - I bought one last year - size 24 and it was very flattering/supportive and not hideous!
X0 -
I got a really nice one in Debenhams earlier this year - not sure whether they've still got their summer stuff in but worth a look.0
-
M&S have had some nice stuff in this year x0
-
Bravissimo do a good range of swimwear as do Simply Be, both of which are available online.0
-
I would second asda as they also offer bikini tops in a large range of bra sizes, I bought a lovely polka dot one there. Bravissimo also offer a large range of sizes and are having a sale at the moment.
Hope this helps x0 -
What about simplybeach.com? They have leopard print!!0
-
M&S have got 20% off their swimwear at the moment. Not sure what the bikinis are like but the one piece swimsuits are very forgiving with a kind of gathered bit of material over your tummy. Perfect for anyone without a washboard stomach. Have a lovely holiday!0
-
Swimwear365 have a really good range and they have a shapewear section with flattering tummy control bits too!

I love the LaScana stuff on there, Sam Faiers from TOWIE models for them x0 -
Bravissimo....mentioned above or figleaves.com0
-
I agree Debenhams, M&S or Next would be my choices.0

have a look in matalan. i don't shop in there often but i needed a swimming costume asap and they have ones in there with tummy control. go a size up though as a 12 was too tight for me! It was £14 i think.
No good buying online. These kinda things require you to try them on!
Oh and mine is bright pink! Has boob support too but i didn't buy it for that as i have nothing! :laugh:0 -
I got a fab tummy control swimsuit, black polka dot, very retro, from TK Maxx last year - they might be worth a look, they do a good range of sizes and brands.0
-
Thank you for the suggestions so far, all noted!
I have to buy online as I unfortunately do not have the time to go shopping - sucks hey I am considering buying two of each (different sizes, obviously haha) and just sending back whichever doesn't fit!! X0 -
Brastop.com is a good website if you are larger chested.. they have a nice swimwear range and if you order today you get £7 off as well with the code 'GAMES'0

Be careful with buying 2, as some places don't allow you to send them back, due to hygiene reasons!
I got my 2 bikini's from Primark as I booked a last minute holiday and had limited time to search for bikini's etc - they don't cater much for women with boobs bigger than a D though, especially in bikini's!
I got a decent one from Asda Living. It was a Katie Price one (you wouldn't know that, as it doesn't say it on the actual bikini) and it fits amazingly.0 -

I can imagine Katie is a good bra designer - I love her. defo checking that out. Thanks ! X0 -
Bravissimo or Leila0
-
I also vote for Bravissimo - their bras/swimwear offer great support, especially for the big boobed!!0
-
ModCloth ships to the UK and I think their swimwear is exactly what you're looking for0
-
Littlewoods might have something but if I were in that size range I'd give Simply Be a go, they stock sizes 14 upwards and although I haven't seen their swimwear their clothes don't seem to be too mumsy or old! Worth a look! Best of luck!0
