Help- bikini intervention

5 replies

DowntonTrout · 12/05/2014 17:22

I've read the bra threads. I need to order some bikinis online pronto.

My measurements are 35 under, 41 bending over.

My best bra sizes are 34E or 36D/DD. I'm worried about a 34 bikini being too tight around my back ( back fat is not a good look),

I haven't got time to go trying on and wNt to order tonight. Does my sizing sound right and do you think bikini tops are as true to size as bras?

I find bikinis come up a bit bigger in the band but maybe because of the fabric? I would go with the 34
Which ones are you looking at, someone might have tried them? Smile

You are technically a 34E, however if youre not used to wearing a 34 it may be a bit tight. As a guide, put on your 36 bra and if you can slide your fingers under the wires easily then its too big.

Other signs the band is too big are your straps pulling up your bra, it riding up your back, or your wires lifting off your chest!

I just bought 3 bikinis mail order from next. I am usually 30E sometimes 32DD. I got 32DD tops and they are a very good fit (Tesco 32DD bikini is way too tight) Hope that helps.
