    ebay might be your best bet?
  • Primark are always cheap. H and M had a big sale on too last week, they may have some nice things. Peacocks too.

    Matalan on Boucher Road have a sale rail of summer stuff. If it's local the Matalan Clearance Store in Portadown would be perfect.

    OP, you may catch the end of the summer sales if you hurry!!!! Also, the big Boots in town has 75% off adult swimwear - lots of stock left when I was there yesterday. They have some lovely stuff.

    Can't think what else to advise. H&M literally has one rail of summer sale stuff left. Primark has a huge cage full of swim stuff on the first floor still, but you will need to rummage!!!

    On a related note, can you divulge your secrets to successful weight loss? As I am trying to lose weight myself. :o

    Boots swim stuff is really gorgeous. Got a two piece bikini with mix n match sizes (I'm a 12 on bottom but a 16 on top due to being mahoosively busted!) Got one (white with shiny metal bits in a pattern) for a tenner and they also have tankinis. And you get boots points too!

    I'm in the same boat....lost 4 stone and going on hols in 3 weeks so whole new wardrobe required. Next online has a holiday range all year round and is good for swimwear, linen trousers and the like. M&S have some stuff in the sale - pretty good selection still when I was in the one in Belfast city centre yesterday evening. I have also picked up cropped trousers and vest tops in Asda and Tesco. The Tesco at Knocknagoney still had a couple of sale rails when I was in last Sunday.
