Swimming costume help
I'm after a tankini with the short type bottoms. I need boob support and a halter neck as otherwise the straps always fall down.
Preferably in a pretty pattern/colour to hide buldges!
Please help, I've looked on figleaves, next, littlewoods, debenhams, john lewis

Mine was from figleaves, it isn't halterneck but the straps are adjustable like a bra and it works a treat. It's by Panache I think, I'll see if I can find a link...

I know you've tried John Lewis but I found one just like what you are looking for in my one in Nottingham so maybe there are some about in the shops more than what is online.
Actually scrap that I've just found it on there site. it is very supportive and felt very comfortable and it also hides the bulges...

I've found some at M&S - then realised ClaireG and Isla had beaten me to it! 
However, as I've saved the pics to desktop, I'll post them anyway... 
(They're all around £30 - 35 )
