I would appreciate help with a bathing suit issue...?

What cut and style of swimsuit would flatter me?

I wear a 34 DD bra, and have a voluptuous figure. I wear a size 12 in a sophisticated way (I like to dress for my size) and I am 28 years old.

My tummy is a bit plump.

Please help, I want to look my best on the beach.

    Always get a halter top so that you can adjust the support to get what fits you best. You can find tankini halters if you want to cover your stomach.

    Covering an Ample Bust

    The key is to draw attention away from the bust. To do so, choose a suit that features a darker color on top and a pattern (or a contrasting, lighter shade) on the bottom. It is also important to ensure the suit provides proper support. Look for sturdy straps and full neckline and armhole coverage.

    Covering Your Waist and Belly

    Slimming vertical stripes are your best friend, and so are color blocks. Tankinis and bandeau tankinis are ideal swimsuits for women who wish to conceal these areas. Try something with a light textured finish to disguise any unwanted rolls of fat.

    I am the same bra size as you, and find it extremely difficult to find comfortable beach wear that fits!

    I have found that Next do a wonderful range, and if you get the catalogue, can order the bikini/ swimsuit in any size you want (some even go to 42GG.) The other bonus is most bikinis in Next are also underwired if you request them, and you can choose from a range of bottoms toflatter your bum & tum. I just ordered the pink polka dot one, and it fits perfectly :)

    Hope this helps x

    definately a tankini. and avoid flower, striped, or polka dot prints because they will make you look larger.

    hope this helps <3
