The Bridget Jones bikini, for Brits only?

Good news for those looking for a little more coverage on the beach, The Daily Telegraph says that big-bottomed bikinis are in. Clare Coulson reports that when the larger bottomed bikinis made their appearance on runways a few years back they didn't catch on with fashion editors who thought they were a bit too close to the infamous granny panties seen in the Bridget Jones movies. But now that Miucca Prada showed high-waisted bikini bottoms on the runway the retro-styled suits might truly get their day in the sun. The flesh-covering suits are selling like mad over in England. The suit shown here, the Haiti Bikini from Sage Sarong sells for £69 and is just one of several high-waisted options. But where are they in the U.S.? I've seen plenty of tankinis and boy short bikinis but the ultra-high waisted bikinis don't seem to be making a big impact here yet. Has anyone seen these in stores yet?

We have not seen them in any stores .. would think if they showed up they would be in the high end chains

The white swim in photo looks really cute on model

maybe it will catch on this time round with many of the designers doing old time styles on the runways

have fun

Maybe the reason we haven't seen them in stores yet is because they're disgusting. Can we say camel toe?

I find the swimsuit to look like granny panties. Just because something is "in style" doesn't mean it looks good, or that I will wear it! Sorry!

Would be much nicer if the fabric actually had a pattern in it...such as a black and white diagonal, or maybe a blue/green/gold paisley...

Anyway, it reminds me of what Brigitte Bardot used to wear!

The problem with women today is that they have been conditioned to think that less is sexy and if you have a body you need the world to see it, this is a shame, less is not better. In most cases women look much better in a one piece or tank/bottom. Leave something to the imagination ladies, it is definity sexier and more tasteful. I hope for the sake of women it does catch on here, but not in the plain white shown on the model.

This looks bad for any age. That much material in a bikini went away for a good reason

I would prefer to see this suit on the people that think they look good in a bikini. Most have large guts and fat butts, and think they look good ! Personally a little modesty is prefered, especially in public!

White wasn't the best color for that swimsuit or for that particular model. The style and color really emphasizes the waist and tummy, and for a small-chested woman without hips, that's a disaster.

Not only is the swimsuit ugly...but no one has mentioned the very unattractive "camel-toe" appearance it is giving the model...didn't the photographer see that and what about the editors...isn't anyone doing their job???
