Gidday,

where do all you big busted ladies find your swimsuits?
I am considering buying one for this year (first time since I was 13) but the problem is that I cannot find any which fit my bust!

Help?!

    I'm not incredibly busty. Only a 34 C-D but I LOVE Victoria's Secret Bikinis. They are the best!:smile:

    lane bryant and all companies in that group, jessica london, old navy actually isn't bad either. Buy a 2 piece and then you can choose the top and bottom sizes.

    Well, byt the kgs lost ticker I assume you are not in the US, but I found ones that have built in underwire bras keep the girls in (I'm a 40 DDD) These suits are sold by bra size not just body size.
    I found some at Dillards, and Lane Bryant.
    Coco Reef is the brand I just bought...and oh how I loooove the support, I look held together and perky lol.

    Do you want a bikini? If so, hunt around for a bathers shop and ask what they have with an underwire and cup size, that way you'll get something that actually fits and gives you a bit of support.

    I know you're in Aus, but I can't remember what city - my favourite bathers have all come from Darwin, but that's probably not very handy...Myers usually have some good stuff, or Baku brand are pretty good.

    If you're in Adelaide, DON'T go to the bathers shop on Jetty Rd in Glenelg - I boycotted them after I went in (a few years ago) and asked the lady what they had in DD cup size bikini tops and she looked me up and down and said "I really think you'd be better to cover up in a tankini". Needless to say, she didn't get my business ever again!

    And another piece of advice - be wary of halter tops. I had a bikini that I really loved but it was a halter top and I found the weight of my boobs dragged down on my neck and I ended up in pain every time I wore it.

    Last summer I bought a two piece (shorts and crop top) from Rebel sport. That was Arena brand I think - more sporty than sexy but I like it.

    for sporty cheapo styles that i'm just using for laps and water aerobics i go to swimoutlet.com . my favorite brand is sporty. i'd say order 1 size smaller than you normally would for that brand. they are around $35 so perfect for being beat up in the pool or whirlpool.

    for cutesy suits i buy panache and freya swimsuits since these are 2 of my go to brands in regular bras. they are really good at catering to those of us who are full busted but not really full figured. by that i mean large boobs but small ribcage. they make bikinis

    I am in bra size purgatory (full busted, smaller ribcage). Many places (ahem Lane Bryant) do not carry my size. I order from Figleaves or Bravissimo. And get it sized by your bra for more support. My current suit is from a brand called Ballet. It is an underwired one piece. Super cute and flattering. Not sure when or if I will buy a new suit this summer. I am down a 2 bands since I bought the suit and I haven't tried it on since I started. I will probably get some pool time in during late July so I can see where I am closer to then.
