Swimsuits/Long tankini with support ?

8 replies

moragbellingham · 20/08/2010 12:38

My DDs are super excited to be going swimming this weekend.
However, I've just had a delivery of a swimsuit which allows the slippage of most of my boobs to really unattractive levels.
I really need bra style support these days.

My old Freya one is too small/positively indecent(excess cleavage) for the local pool.

Can anyone recommend other brands?

Try Bravissimo.Although I find the tankini tops do roll up over my mummy tummy.Great support though! Start from a D cup,I presume your big boobed if you have excess cleavage?

i have this in a mahoosive 30J....its fab...really great support, as much as a bra, and feels sturdy too.

i bought one at full price from bravissimo, then searched the style on ebay...found one in another colour for £8, brand new in my size! happy days!

The tankini problem was explained to me by a very sweet and tactful lady in Rigby & Peller when I raised the subject of lack of choice in the shop!

I have literally just bought this to try hoping and thinking it might be made by Panache. Surely a copy would be unlawful to that degree??

I am thinking that it will be a long search however!

i need a 34G cossy nowadays and have tried that M&S one you've bought Morag - I ordered in 34 and 36G but for some reason the wires were too low down for me IYSWIM, I am neither tall nor pert of nork post DD and I don't understand why the wires are too low! Apart from that, it looked gorgeous so I was most annoyed. I did wonder if the Tankini version here might be worth a go but I too am worried about the rolling up issue. You are right, tis identical to the panache version...
PS I'd avoid ebay unless like chimchar you know for definite it will fit you. I bought a tankini there pre hols which doesn't fit at all and will not now buy without trying on.

I did order the tankini too as the sole reviewer complained that the top was too long and covered the bottoms.

Perfect I thought!

We shall see come Monday - my boobs are low these days so it may fit like a gloveGrin
