Hi, I'd be grateful for any tips/advice on a good range of swimwear with support for a 12 yr old with quite a large bust.

I would try a Tankini you can get really good swimsuits from sports direct

My 13 year old likes Kelly brook swimwear. She is a C cup and supports her

Thanks Surfy1 :) - she won't wear a Tankini though as she doesn't like the gap between top and bottoms.

Thanks kilmuir :) - I'll google KB swimwear and check it out.

Btw all, sorry about the typo in the subject.

Depends on the overall size you need. I'm assuming you want stuff to actually swim and much about in like a child rather than take part in the beach parade of the later teens?

If you are talking 32-34 chest then cup size swimwear is easy to find. Bravissimo/ debrnhams/ John Lewis . Tankinis and one pice suits.

My just 13yr old was a nightmare to fit as she is only a 28 back and short ( 5 foot ish) . Surprisingly we have a rather nice black speedo cossie ( with bust shaping and all over support rather thn wires , she certainly didnt need or want foam cups or boob boosting support - wtf do they put boob boosters in dd plus swimwear?). It has a purple under bust band that marks it out as " not my school cossie" and makes her look slender but nicely curvy without drawing attention to her " assets".

That cossie was just £10 in tkmaxx too.

She'd love a bikini, but the only ones That came near fitting made her look like Jordan and anyway shed have fallen out the cups if she moved- arrrgh!

Good luck- its a minefield !
