Beachwear help please

[janeite]

Okay - we're off to Greece in July for a fortnight and I only possess one swimming costume (a tankini, sorry Cod!). I hate swimming and never go unless on holiday, so I don't want to spend a fortune. I think a black bikini might be my best bet. I'm a 34E though, size 12 and the only ones I've seen that come in cup sizes seem to cost loads, which i don't want to spend as I'll probably never wear it again.

Any ideas oh wise ones of Mumsnet please? Less than £30 if at all possible.

Cheers!

Marks & Spencer £29.50.

Bravissimo £35 or £34 (two colours of the suit on the right are reduced)

[CombustibleLemon]

Sorry. Bikinis..

Bravissimo 3 black ones £30 or under.

[CombustibleLemon]

Price is for tops only I give up.

[janeite]

Thankyou! Ideally I'd like it to be under £30 for the top and bottoms, if at all possible.

I saw a half decent one in La Senza of all places (vile shop, I know) - black and white spots, quite 1950s-ish but they didn't have my size and I'd like to buy instore rather than online.

Thanks for your help - any more ideas anyone?

That's really sweet of you.

BUT I am so pale skinned, I really do look awful in bright colours (and yes I KNOW I'll get a tan but I LIKE black with a tan!). Purple looks okay on me I suppose; or a sort of deep red.

But really - why is black so wrong? I haven't been abroad for a v long time but when I did, lots of people had black biknis (me included!).
