Best swimwear for tummy control and fuller busts with buys from M&S and Bravissimo

When it comes to shopping for swimwear let’s face it, many of us dread the thought. Between the unflattering fitting room lighting and most sizing not living up to what it says on the tin (well, label) you can be left feeling more like hiding away under a blanket rather than embracing your beautiful curves.

If you particularly struggle to find styles to flatter a fuller bust or need a little help taming your tummy some retailers out there are thankfully listening to our cries for confidence-boosting swimwear.

From M&S’s classic yet contemporary styles to Curvy Kate’s vast bra size offering we’ve rounded up the best brands offering supportive, flattering swim styles designed with your curves in mind…
