i'm looking for a bikini with a longer top and shorts (not briefs) in a size 16/18.

I don't believe they exist!

I had a maternity one last year which was longer length and gorgeous but too baggy for this year!

Over you to ladies...

why?

they bulge and are unflattering.

Far better to go with an underwired bikini top with bikini shorts.

Lands End have loads - theres pick and mix ones so that you can choose separate bottoms and tops, and they do them in a long body fit which means that theres a really good overlap.

I have the sports tankini which has really full coverage shorts.

I know what you mean about getting a two piece but what about when i sit down to eat my picnic and my ripples of fat and visible for all to see - at least they look slightly less horrific in lycra! (i think)

will check out LandsEnd
