Buying a swimsuit

Fully clothed I am quite happy with the way I look.  At 5'5" a size 12 and mother to three children I have managed to stay around the same weight for years, but something strange has happend to my middle?  Where did all that dimpled skin come from?

I decided it was time to invest in a swimsuit so I took myself off to the shopping mall.  Eight swimsuits later I still have not found one that does anything for me.  They all seem to be designed for women with double D cups.  Either that or they completely flatten my bust so that it disappears altogether.

The best one I came across as far as the fit went was in Sainsbury's in a lovely shade of turquoise for under £14 but it failed with the lining that seemed to show through.

I know I will have to take myself off to a specialist shop but they seem to specialise in big cup sizes not a 34B.

If you have any suggestions where I might find a pretty halter neck swimming costume please let me know.
