Shorts bikini

So I'm off on my jollies soon, and am trying to find a pretty bikini. I'd really like one with shorts/hot pants bottoms rather than a thong or normal knickers. Has anyone got any idea where I might find one?

I bought a really nice bikini (with shorts) from Next recently...wasn't too expensive either.

Unless you are a skinny size 6 try very hard not to be tempted by the shorts - you will regret it. If you must go for a fuller bottom, go for a higher leg short - so that it cuts up and has a wider side band. So much more flattering. in all senarios go for a low rise - (ok i know it has no zip fly but you get the jist) - try not to have the bottoms come up around your belly button. never good.
www.figleaves.com as already suggested is by far the place to consult first.

No I don't want proper shorts, I wasn't very clear in my post! I was thinking of hot-pants style bottoms or high-rise/low-cut shorts like you said. Ick, I hate anything that comes up to my belly button!

Figleaves has some lovely bikinis, but all are a little out of my price range! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, must go shopping soon! xx
