Bikinis for DD+

13 replies

Has anyone got any recommendations for where I might find decent bikinis for a 30F cup?

It needs to be supportive but also an attractive/youthful style. Relatively flexible with budgets (within the realms of the reasonable though!)

I've tried things from Bravissimo in the past but they can be a bit frumpy (not always so I wouldn't rule them out altogether).

I had a really nice classic black plunge one from Panache which I really liked, but now feel like a change...

And thoughts appreciated!

I have a tankini from figleaves. They have quite a big range of DD+ plus styles.

Thanks ByTheWishingWell - they've got some really nice things on there...

What do people think of Freya bikinis? And how about Pour Moi? (Both available on Figleaves I see...)

Last year I bought a Bravissimo own brand one, one Cleo and a Panache. They were all balconette shape with halter neck.

Cleo have some nice styles on their site but I'm not sure if that's the whole collection for SS15.

I like this Panache one too. I had a very similar one in blue last year.

Freya?

I can't do Plunge styles I'm afraid. I like a good 'life them as high as possible' balconette Grin

I have a Freya bikini and a panache tankini. They are really supportive while still being fashionable. Also they had a big range. Got mine in House of Fraser. They were quite pricey but gave me the confidence to wear a bikini for the first time in Spain last summer. Shouldn't have fretted as the women of Northern Spain all wear bikinis regardless of size or age - was very liberating!

I tend to stick to Freya swimwear these days as it suits my shape.

I've had some bikinis from Debenhams in the past but I'm not sure if they do F cups in smaller than a 32.

Bravissimo have quite a few in your size but even more if you search separately via their sale tab. The sizing between brands and styles seems even wilder with swimwear so don't be surprised if you end up wearing something that's a vastly different size!

Freya are good as are cleo and panache. There's also a brand called hoola who are good but run a bit small in the band

I'm 32 GG and I have been buying from next not sure what size but thought they were great and really good price. Have also bought from bravissma but whilst always get bra's from there I find the swim wear really heavy and uncomfortable.

Thanks everyone! Going to investigate all these options now :-)

Please visit Brastop website, has loads of big boob sizes very reasonably priced.
I get all my bras and swimwear there.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 28/03/2015 16:58

I'm more or less the same size as you. I prefer Hoola to the others mentioned, the bandeau top style. Slightly retro. They give good support, really nice quality.

I get mine from Next directory - reasonable price and they last well.

I miss La Senza ( the version from about 6+ years ago)
They used to do great bikinis in all sizes and colours .
My pink push up one gave the best support and looked great too
Tried the Kelly Brook range from New Look but not as comfy .
