Bathing suits for tall girls with boobs?

I live in Tucson, so we're already enjoying 75 degree days and it's getting to be that time...

Bathing suit shopping time.

**shudder**

I have a particular problem with this because I'm tall (5'10") and have big boobs (32DDD) so I can't find good one pieces that fit properly (they are made for shorter people) or don't squash my boobs into pancakes.

I would probably be better off just looking for a two-piece, but even though I'm pretty fit at this point, I have an ugly tummy (loose skin, stretch marks) so I'd be more comfortable in a one piece.

Any ideas of where to look?

    Try looking into mail order companies like LL Bean or something similar to that. They usually over like a short/average/long on pretty much everything they sell.

    How about a tankini? (i think thats what they're called) fits better than one piece and covers a lot more than a bikini :)

    I am tall myself 5' 9 ' and have a long torso and a large bust 38D. I have had the best luck with victoria secret.com They offer a tankini that is underwire that you can order in your bust size and also choose the longer lenth torso. That is the suit of choose when I go to the public pool. Good Luck!

    Lands End has long torso 1-pieces. I enjoy Victoria's Secret tankinis since most come in longer length (I'm 5'11, 34DD) but I think the highest cup size it comes in is a DD :grumble:

    I would go tankini, and some places let you buy them by cup size (can't remember who at this moment, but google should help you).

    I dont know what your style is, but the bathing suits from the 60's are making a come back, so the waist band goes way up covering your belly, i personally think they are so cute!

    This site is awesome!

    http://www.thebigbrabar.com/index.php/

    It's a UK company but they have fantastic suits for girls with the bigger sizes on top (I'm a 38F)

    If you place an order, tell Nikki the owner that Jenn Wong sent you :)

    Lands end has great tall sizes. Also look for one with underwire- works better for bigger 'girls' without smashing!

    Lands End! Not only do they have talls but they have large bust suits. I'm 5 '9 36DD and bought their swim dress one piece last year. The quality is fantasic, the top feels like a quality bra so tons of support. Loved it so much I bought another. Good luck!

    I had luck last year with Fashion Bug. Not sure if you have one in your area, but they were reasonable in pricing.

    I'm about 5'9" and have a large bust as well. I got a suit from Lane Bryant. It's expensive, but it has a built in bra top and covers my tummy. I'd try looking into something like that. :)

    I'm too small for Lane Bryant at this point. I wear a Size 6 (sometimes 8) in pants and a Small or even XS in shirts...

    I'm 6', with 36DD's, and Victoria's Secret definitely has well-fitting bathing suits, in both one piece and two piece. I've tried the walmart/target/whatever bathing suits, and they just suck.

    X2 on this!! I love her stuff. I have two of her bikinis, pic of the top of one and the bottom of the other is in my album.

    If you want band/cup size check out Freya (also UK) swimwear, you'd order a 32E. http://www.freyalingerie.com/swim.aspx

    If you want a retro high waist look you could check out Pin Up Girl Clothing. http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/swimwear.html
    They list the model's stats to help you size when you order.

    I bought a tankini from Calvin Klein that fit pretty well. I'm pushing 6', wear 38D and weight 204. I liked this designer because the torso is cut long enough to cover everything and didn't have me busting out of the top. It was a halter top and very slimming. I believe it's called a Shirred Halterkini. I just bought it recently, so if you google it, I'm sure there are some online sites that carry that brand and style. Good luck!

    Bwahahaha!

    Massive weight loss made that a less-than-attractive option, and is generally frowned upon in public anyway.

    J Crew or Lands End, definitely. I'm 5'10 and a 36D

    Tankini __OR__

    If you don't mind spending the money, Lands' End and Athleta have beautiful suits in Tall and Cup sizes.

    :grumble: I'm finding a lot on VS website. I have DDDs also, and they have a section for Ds and DDs, I think they'd fit fine. I have a problem with getting suits to fit my boobs all the time.
