Help me find some bikinis, please.

I’m a 28ff on top, size 10 bottom. I’m a HoC Autumn. So I’d prefer colours that work with that.

Have you seen anything like that?

Thank you!

Asos is your friend - they have mix and match in bra sizes

LeeValley2 · 29/05/2018 20:42

Try boux Avenue

Karcheer · 29/05/2018 20:48

Neither of them do my size 🙁

I think Freya and Panache do that size.

I got some curvy Kate bikinis last year (30ff, size 12), might be worth a look?

Look on figleaves & bravissimo - both do cup sized tops and then can get whatever size bottoms you want.

Figleaves do nice swimwear but their 28ff range seem to mostly be black.

Does your bikini have to be HoC autumn colours?

PurpleNailVarnish · 30/05/2018 23:32

The bravissimo range has more colours.

I think the Bondi in red is the red that suits everyone.

The red Sorrento could be autumn?

Is the peachy colour Barbados too spring?

TroubledLichen · 30/05/2018 23:34

If you need a lot of support then Figleaves is a good shout but you’ll probably get mostly neutral options like black or navy.

Otherwise could you size up a triangle tie top to get appropriate boob coverage and just tie it to fit? I’m a 30E and usually do that so I can get funky summery colours rather then plain black.

Karcheer · 31/05/2018 21:21

What size triangle top do you go for?

Good question... usually I cut the labels out of swimwear so they don’t show and I haven’t bought a bikini yet this year (must remedy that sharpish!!). I think my last purchase in that style was a UK size 12 from Topshop and in clothes there I’m an 8.

Passthecake30 · 31/05/2018 21:32

I've had a triangle bikini from matalan before, large top, small bottoms

ShirleyPhallus · 31/05/2018 22:38

I do the triangle top thing but only if the cups are movable on the piece of string (iyswim). At a 32G my boobs can sometimes outsize size 18 cups though so it’s not an exact science!
