I go on holiday in two weeks and my old pre-child swimsuit is just not cutting it.

I need something with support in an F cup. Recommendations?

Try brastop, I just got some panache stuff from there, good price and service.

MrsLettuce · 31/05/2013 17:59

See, that's the sort of tankini that proves that normal one are fucking stupid.

mrscumberbatch · 31/05/2013 18:06

mrscumberbatch · 31/05/2013 18:09

It's not vile, it's like an all over body breton Wink

And yes to the cat in the hat. I don't like boring clothes!

Surprisingly, M & Co has really nice swimwear with proper coverage; was amazed.

Nehru · 31/05/2013 18:10

Theres boring and ridiculous.

Nehru · 31/05/2013 18:11

with an F you need wires, not foam cups.

mrscumberbatch · 31/05/2013 18:11

I'd take ridiculous over boring anyday Grin

I will check M&CO Marian, it's not usually on my radar but MIL got me a really nice lace dress from there last year so it's worth a look!

I know, it always strikes me as scarily frumpy and overpriced, but the odd thing is good.

ginmakesitallok · 31/05/2013 18:15

I'm an F/G cup depending on bra and have just bought a brilliant zoggs swimsuit that amazingly contends with my saggy large breasts. I was very dubious that the band would do anything at all but was pleasantly surprised - not cheap mind but you've got big boobs so you know already that accommodating them isn't cheap! I got mine in imminga sports shop and tried it on first. They had some others which were really nice too but this suited me better for swimming. I'm a size 14 body with 32 F/G boobs and I bought the 14.

EW (like I linked to on the For Luna site earlier) does a red and white striped one. Black and white too. here and here Shall attempt to fink a UK stockist after teh DC are in bed. The design is called SnackBar IIRC.

MrsLettuce · 31/05/2013 18:34

Oh, and I think seafolly are likely to do something along those lines too

MrsLettuce · 31/05/2013 18:40

Modcloth stock them and say delivery is 10 days. here.

LaChaiseVerte · 31/05/2013 18:46
