I refuse to say that I am fat - let's just say that I am curvy!
I am looking for a flattering swimsuit that has support panels and enough scaffolding to support my 38D chest !!
BUT - I want it to be feminine - can anyone help please.
I am sick to death with Black swimsuits and hiding under sarongs - I want to feel comfortable by the pool ..... after all I shall be away with my SIL - who is a size 8 ! (SOB)

support panels? scaffolding? I have a very strange image of you now.

Anyway I have experimented for years with various cup support thingies in swimming cozzies and none of them are any good because they are always very vague sizes (so you may find one if you are lucky, but I would bet not).

I found that you really can´t beat good quality lycra for holding you all in! In fact my best cozzie is a maternity one from mothercare - just like a normal one but super strechy with very good lycra (held my enormous post birth boobs and belly in a treat). Worth a try?

I know it sounds unlikely, but there are actually some nice ones in Argos Additions with "tummy panels" (yuk), and they're very cheap. Hang on and I'll have my first go at a proper link

Yessssss!
Sorry, in all the excitement I forgot to say that it's still black I'm afraid, but they have several alternatives.

Landsend I think I got one from a few years ago. They are expensive, but come in a good range/combination of sizes and are good thick material to hold everything in. And not just black.

Agree with codswallop although this is centring on your bra size. Really good support for the chest.
