I'm short and your typical pear shape/hour glass figure, I'm average in the bust, waist is narrow, hips, thighs, and arms large. I've looked at several tankini's and skirtinis but still can not find one that is gives me a lift for my sagging breasts and a good cut on the skirt to detract attention from my thighs as well as one that covers my tummy bulge. I'm trying to loose weight but in the event that I still have big thighs I'd like to have some dignity when I have to go on this big family beach outing that's coming up in June. I'm 29 and many of the one piece suits look like something one would wear in their 60's plus.

The bottoms that have a skirt attatched are always a good choice. Look for a top that has wire built in and lots of support or something that ties around the neck and will pull your breast up. Also a wrap would fully cover your thighs and you can wear them in the water if you are not swimming. Good luck! Check out Victorias Secret they have some really nice clearance items on their website. They are not expensive as everyone thinks and the tops have good support.

I just bought a bathing suit today and I have large thighs. Also I'm very petite so I have a double problem. I must have tried on at least 25 suits. The one I looked the best in is a tankini with an adjustable bottom with a black and white floral print top with 3 tiers of ruffles. I modeled it for my husband and he said it looked real good on me. All I have to say that bathing suit shopping is very traumatic for me.

I would avoid the kind with shorts or a skirt because they draw attention and make hips and thighs look bigger. Darker bottoms will make you appear thinner. If you feel you need a one piece, look for one with embellishment on the top part, like ruffles or something because it will draw the eye up. Go try on a bunch and find one that you feel good in. You don't have to be a super model to look good and feel good in a swimsuit. Target has a lot of cute ones right now and lots are on sale. Get a sheer sarong to tie around your waist if you feel uncomfortable still. Use a shear one though because it won't add bulk to your frame. A fabric tied around you waist would just make you look bigger, but shear fabric will just help you feel more shielded :) The main thing is to just embrace yourself. The girl on Grey's Anatomy said she was totally uncomfortable with her body, then Grey's put her in a bra and underwear on TV! She had to embrace herself and how she's considered a sex symbol. It doesn't' matter what size you are, if you are confident, others will see that and that is way sexier than being thin. I know lots of single, skinny girls that guys can't stand because of their attitudes and insecurities. Be confident and happy with yourself!!

Haha I think this is funny. Seeing as how I have almost the same problem you are except that I have a really small chest...and the fact that my name is Dani too! Hehe. But yes, the skirted bottoms are prolly best. And a wrap would look really cute too. As for the top, a halter with underwire is probably best. Good luck finding the perfect suit!

I agree with Brenda's answer. I would look for a suit with padded cups and a skirt or wrap. And Alyssa, wow, you're just rude and shallow. What a hurtful thing to say to someone. Good luck, Dani. :)

Skirtinines just add volume to your hips and thighs. Try a normal one-piece with higher cut in the legs- boy cuts and skirtinies are very unflattering, since they add bulge. The higher cut will create an illusion of longer legs and slimmer thighs.

Since you're only 29, I find it hard to believe that you have sagging breasts, but if you still don't feel confident, a halter top will take care of that.

I would encourage you to buy a tankini with high cut around the legs, control panel around the tummy, and a v-neck or halter top to hold your breasts, and still show some skin off.

My friend go this suit- your body type sounds a lot like hers, and she looked very good:

Lots of things can help lose weight, a good nights sleep, exercise, not eating too much junk food, eating sensible amounts of fruit and vegetables, and yes green tea may help do it's bit by assisting your bowel movement. Get more information here:

Have you tried anything from Delta Burke. Her swimwear collection is fantastic. Very figure flattering and some designs have tummy control. The styles are really hot!

actually believe it or not but theres alot of really cute one peice swimsuits out there now. since you have a tummy bulge its best not to go for a bikini, tankini or hankini becuase your tummy will bulge out making it more noticable etc. also since your breasts are sagging you would do best with a thick strap halter which gives more support and lift. about your thighs your best bet would be to get a one peice halter with highcut bottom part it elongates your figure and slims your thighs if you have cellulite you can then tie a partially see through coverup

examples of good swimsuits:

Not all fruits are equal. Some fruits are high in carbohydrates and they will not help you to lose weight.

The low carbohydrate fruits tend to be fresh (unsweetened) berries, There are many fruits that can help your weight loss progress. Learn here:

You could always sit next to someone with larger thighs! That is what I do! I hang out with guys bigger than me so I feel small and look small! :)
