i have recently started to search for swimsuits... depressing... i can't seem to find anything with an underwire that doesn't look like it's made for a 50 year old woman. I did find a few that looked somewhat cute, but then i looked at the price, $125 for just the top! that's outrageous!

does anyone know where i can find a decent looking, supportive swimsuit?!

my style is pin-up-ish, but at this point, i'll take anything that doesn't look like my mom would wear it. i don't care if it's a bikini or a one piece. i just want something that i won't pop or slide out of. my budget is low... so i'd like to find one under $40 that's going to last me awhile.

i'm a 36 DDD so I DO NOT NEED OR WANT A PUSH-UP!!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Ok DDD can be hard to find. most places that I know that are some what cheaper only go up to DD. check Macy's, again not sure that you will find one for ddd but most of there tops that are bikini tie in the back so you may be able to make one of those work or you could try using a dd one and see if it fits

    sometimes i think it would be cheaper in the long run to just get a breast reduction...

    but it was a while back, it doesn't have an underwire but it supports the girls and hides the tummy! It's my fave.. I wish it still fit me. :frown:

    This is a good site. They range around $80+ though.

    My bra size is 46DDD and clothing size 20W and I do not use an underwire suit. I actually bought my suit at Target last year and love it. It is a seperates suit botton is boy shorts and top is tank style with square neck that blouses at the bottom.

    Landsend. They even carry DDD. If you go to the clearance section, you can sometimes find them really cheap. They have a feature called "On the Counter" where they put clearance items on Saturday and discount them even more on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If you're patient, you can get a suit for around $20. If you need something sooner, you could pay up to a hundred. But, you should be able to find something in the $50 range at any time.

    Good luck!

    Try Shoshanna. She caters to women with larger breasts.

    I have the same issue, 46DDD (give or take a bit), and I have found excellent suits at Target. In fact, I think I may have the same tank style top and the boy shorts! Plus, you can mix and match the tops and bottoms, which is nice. Now if only I could find a one piece...I have a long torso and big chest, which is a nightmare to shop for.

    I got the one just like this last year but in leopard at walmart. I love it!!! It fits great and I want to say was under $35. It wasn't underwire but I agree it is supportive. Im a size GG.

    What I have found disheartening is that it is not easy to find budget friendly bathing suits/bras etc, that are supportive and comfortable as well as flattering and look good for the bigguns. I hope Walmart has these again this year, I would love to get the black one.
