Where to find flattering bikinis or swimsuits for a smaller bust

Hello :)

I go on a beach holiday in 2 weeks time and am in desperate need of a new bikini (would be open to costume/one piece too). I have ZERO bust.. so am looking for something with frills/ruffles on top as feel this gives an illusion of fullness instead of completely flat.

Happy for plain or patterned (but nothing too crazy/zaney). My favourite colours are blue, greens.. but open to anything really.. probably not white as impractical. Also not keen on using Shien.

Any help would be appreciated!

Im around 5 foot 9, size 8 top, 10ish bottoms.

Have a look at Boden. Their swim stuff tends to cater to for smaller busts. .

Something like this would be ideal (just not a fan of the colour/print). I definitely don't want ruffled bottoms as feels it draws attention to my thighs!

The VERY best bikinis (like, miraculous - I don't know how they make your body look so good, despite being such a small amount of fabric) are by Heidi Klein. Several of the styles are good for a smaller bust. Heidi Klein.
