For 32E size bust but small frame? Most that bust size seem to be for 12-14 and are loose in the body.

My friend is a size 6 and about the same in the bust (scarily they are natural Shock) she always gets her swimwear from La Senza - they definately do tankinis if not full swimsuits (though to be fair - if you have a slim body, why not a bikini?). Also, try some of the brands on figleaves.

try the freya range, or debenhams gorgeous range

Thanks, I have bikinis as you can get size 8 bottoms but I live in a swimming pool and take my children most days and prefer a costume as the bottoms don't come off when I dive in (has happened)

I used to have the same problem (was a 32E and size 8-10) and found going down a back size and up a cup size would result in something that fitted well but there wasn't much choice in styles.

I recently bought this
www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp?product=Lepel-Verona-Moulded-Swimsuit&product_id=LL-70981&size=&colour=Pinks
Because the front is lined with power mesh for tummy support it makes the bottom a little smaller than usual. I'm more of a 10-12 these days and the bottom of a 32E definitely pulls everything in nicely, it would probably still fit a size 8 without being loose.

Bravissimo

They do swimming costumes with built in bras, so that Even my 32GGs have shape to them Grin

You can buy online too - be warned though if you buy the tummy tightening ones, they're very tight.

I've found Zoggs to be fairly generous in the cup, bought a size 10 costume in TK Maxx for 9.99 the other day, normally can't get my girls in the cups for less than a 12/14.

It was this one

are you sure you need 32? If you're otherwise 8-10, I'd try swimsuits in 30 or 28 bra sizes instead.
