Where to buy a nice maternity swimming cossie?


I've had a look at mamas and papas (expensive!) jojo maman bebe, next and can't find a swimming cossie I like and they are very expensive.
Either wanted a tankini or costume.
We're going to a hotel for our 1 year wedding anniversary april 18th (I'll be about 19 weeks) and they have a pool there, plus going to log cabin in lake district for summer hols and there is a pool there
Any recommendations?

I bought this one from Amazon.uk
It's not exactly sexy but it serves its purpose! I just wanted something to swim laps in

Me and my preggo friend got ours from Primark for £8! They're not maternity swimmining cossies, they're actually classed as 'control costumes', they're not tight or restrictive on the tummy though, they're ruched so there's lots of room in the belly area! I'm usually a size 8, i bought a 12 which fits well at the moment and has still got plently of room left in it!

I had a complete mare buying mine! Tankinis are hard to get in smaller sizes and I wanted shorts on the bottom, not pants. I ended up buying the shorts from Debenhams and a tankini from Mamas and Papas, but you are right, that in total cost me £35. Which for 3 months is rediculous! The (male) shop assistant said I could wear it afterwards! That will look attractive!
Mothercare do a few nice ones, but they don't seem to stock the smaller sizes anymore.

I also tried
jojomamanbebe - have about 4 choices but are a little pricey
debenhams - have a choice of about 2 costumes
marks and spencer - Have one only in a size 14
John Lewis - one online, but more in store
Very.co.uk
Figleaves
Blooming Marvellous

Oh and they are all really boring! either black or brown. Often found the odd online site that just had links to other maternity sites. I think one was Maternity swimwear.com or something.

Good luck!
