She wants one this year. Trouble is she's probably the wrong shape. She's V tall, V thin (size 6 - 8), quite wide-hipped, big bum and, most importantly, NO BOOBS.
She's got the very smallest beginnings (buds), but prob still too small for a AA cup. And she's got a wide-ish back. Prob 30" - 32". All the rest of her friends are in proper bras now, but she's still in those bra tops they do nowadays.
I had no breasts either. My biggest bra before I got pregnant was an A cup. [and that was when I gave up smoking and ate to compensate]
So my worry is a bikini top that fits her (when I was flatchested I found that not having boobs meant that in some clothes, they weren't held in place because my chest wasn't substantial enough to do the job. A strapless dress, for example, just fell off me). It needs to be able to stay in place without exposing what chest she does have (she'd be mortified if it moved).
Has anyone else had this experience and can anyone recommend any shops/bikini types/styles that worked (or what didn't)?
And please don't say 'get a swimming costume' - she'd be heartbroken. Plus she's likely to have a similar shape for several years.
Many thanks for reading.
