Can someone please help me find a nice swimsuit for my 14 year old DD1?

We are in France and they only seem to have old lady swimsuits or bikinis. DD1 is large of nork (32F) and round of tummy at the moment, like her mother (I think she is having a growth spurt as she goes out then up). She said she wants a swimsuit that is "cheerful and not black, maybe patterned". Anything that my friend in Manchester can pick up or have delivered before she joins us on holiday next week would be very much appreciated. She is about a size 12, but may need a 14 to contain the norks. Grin

quite a few here not too old I hope.

What kind of swimsuit would she want? I know some teenagers will only wear bikini's, yet others wouldn't dream of it.

Do you want something cheap and cheerful just for this holiday, or would you mind paying out extra from somewhere that specialises in the nork department?! Grin

and another site

From that link, this one is black, but patterned. I like it for a teen.

Oops, x post

www.forluna.co.uk/ I can vouch for their ability to contain massive nork and tummy.

Noncoupable · 22/06/2012 18:31

That Next Speedo one is nice, chipmunk.

I liked the spotty one but it is pre-order only! The brastop site is a good one - I will peruse with her. I don't really want to pay more than about 40 quid, but I would like her to have something comfortable that makes her feel good about herself.

Have you looked in Decathlon? DSis in France gets loads of sports stuff there and the selection is very impressive.

Noncoupable · 22/06/2012 18:36

This Bravissimo one is similar to the other black polka dot one.

MrsSchadenfreude · 22/06/2012 18:37

Yes - current one comes from Decathlon. The French don't really do tits though, and anything larger than a C cup tends to be found mostly in specialist shops.

I have big boobs and found speedo good if I am not going under wired

piprabbit · 22/06/2012 18:41

This one? it's much reduced!

suburban · 22/06/2012 18:46

Those forluna ones are beautiful.

Bright Red but only one left in an F cup

Pretty Print

Let us know how she gets on

BramblyHedge · 22/06/2012 18:53

I am a 32G and got one from figleaves last year. Would def get one in a proper bra size as I found it made a huge difference compared to dress sized ones.

DontmindifIdo · 22/06/2012 18:56

would she be better with a tankini if she's a different size on the top to the bottom? what about this one from white stuff?

fat face also has some nice tankinis like this one

MrsSchadenfreude · 22/06/2012 19:42

You are all fab - thank you. I'll show her these after dinner and she can choose. I think all of these fit her demands (although she is a bit suspicious of a tankini!).
