I have been invited to go swimming this weekend, but I hate the thought of me in a swimsuit.
What are the best swimmers for curvy people, (who have a bit too much meat on their bones)?

    A tankini! A bit of belly cover (and a low cut top) can look amazing on the beach.

    Or, if you have great legs you can wear a skimpy, frilly bikini bottom (try a pattern or a bright colour) with a simple plain black bikini top.

    I've always though curvy women look amazing in retro style swimwear. Kinda like this

    I'm having a lot of trouble finding something affordable however!

    see the problem w me is that i don't see myself as others see me, i know i have lost weight, am getting compliments, buying smaller clothes but in my head i don't think i can ever look good /:

    go into Myer

    Oh if you're from Australia have a good look at the Jets stuff at David Jones (or Myer or where ever)... that stuff makes you look a million bucks even if you're not 100% happy with your body. Totally worth the cost.

    And I think Jets do a good DD/E range too.

    I would suggest a 1950's style cossie, full or bikini, the bikinis are great (i have one) as it has a higher waist band and full briefs (it covers my dimpled butt) and the top rather than being string ti has a band under the bust so it holds the twins in and gives them lift without having under wire. U can also go for a tankini if u want to cover your tum or a full peice, something simple with maybe ruching over the tummy..I love mine in red
