Any idea where I can find a bathing suit for 38DDD?
I've tried
Kohl's
Walmart
Kmart
boscov's
Fashion bug
Lane Bryant

They are either spilling out the front, and I look like a porn star, or spilling out the sides, if the bathing suit goes higher.
I'm not skinny enough to wear a bikini top that comes in my bra size. and I can't find a suit where I'm not falling out. I thought for sure I could make a halter top work, but they all cut really low, and I still spill out.

I'm afraid to order something online, without trying it on.

Anyone else with this problem and solutions? I was looking for 2 piece. I have a 1 piece dress bathing suit, and my husband hates it. He says they are for old ladies.

Thanks for any help!

    Lane Bryant, Catherines or Fashion Bug. You can look on their websites too.

    Torrid! Love love love their stuff.

    There's also the Avenue and Old Navy, but definitely give Torrid a try!

    If you have a Sears nearby with a Land's End department, try that. I can never wear their suits because the bust area is way too big for me. They also have so many cute dresses I would love to own, but again with the bust being much too big.

    I can suggest several places to look:

    landsend.com
    Department stores: Belks or Dillards (they typically have underwire & bra-style suits)

    Good luck!

    Venus Swimwear has large sizes. If you live near the beach, surf shops usually have larger sizes than the department stores. Usually (larger busted) women spend more on the top and then find a simple bottom that is less expensive.

    I know you said you don't want to do online, but I've found several just doing a quick search for "38DDD swimsuit". It might be your best bet to get the top that way, and then just go find bottoms that you like somewhere else. Places are pretty good at exchanging things quickly and for free when something doesn't work out. Good luck!
