One of my favourite memes reads:
‘How to have a bikini body?’
‘Put on a bikini’
Simple, no? While I love the message behind it, sometimes it’s not that simple! For me, I feel most confident when I’m comfortable so when it comes to swimwear I’d like things to stay up, not cut in, not sag, not fade and flatter while we’re at it!
I’ve trawled the interwebs, Instagram and my trusty Facebook group for tried and tested swimwear that ticks the boxes!
UNE PIECE (Size 6-20)
‘Born in Australia, inspired by the South of France’
Ooo lala!
Home of the ‘Original Sexy Rashie’, Une Piece offers both one-pieces, bikinis, kids, mens, cover-ups…the list goes on! One-stop-shop.
