Swimsuits for fuller bust

Monr0e · 29/12/2018 14:47

I'm a size 12/14 with FF size chest and I struggle to find swimwear that I don't feel I am falling out of.

I am going to centre parcs in February and will be spending most of the week in the pool with the DC's and would love to get a nice swimming costume to wear. Can anyone recommend the best place to look? Thank you

Bravissimo - bra sizes swimwear. Even my 30js stay put.

Try bravissimo. Haltermecks work best for me and ones with clips. Sports direct is worth s look- I got a really nice elesse one in there, just make sure you try before you buy as they have a crap returns policy.

Fantasie swimwear is great. Several stores carry them nationwide plus you can buy online.

Curvy Kate stuff is really good

Bravissimo tankini which helps keep my 34JJ in place!!

Agree, Bravissimo is your best bet. Debenhams is also worth a look, although their main range for larger cup sizes is more available nearer summer.

Brilliant, thank you. I am checking these out now.

I tried Debenhams but didn't have any luck. I find it quite annoying if you are stick thin with a flat chest you can pick swim wear up cheap as chips but anything above a DD is triple the price. But I'd like to get something that will last a few years so happy to invest in a decent one this time.

I am a G & bought two great swimsuits this summer, one in M&Co & one in Bon Marche. Great support & not ££££s.

I got a lovely G cup bikini in the summer from
Figleaves. I cannot tell you how happy it made me!

I have some lovely Freya cup sized swimming costumes. But tbh the costumes I wear most are my Sports Direct Slazenger boy leg ones which cover everything really well. Not the most flattering, but you can play with children with no fear of anything showing!

Thegirlisnotright · 29/12/2018 22:07

I have one the same shape as this figleaves one which is very flattering and supportive (am a similar size to you)

I shop here now as well as Bravissimo.

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 29/12/2018 23:24

I second Figleaves too. I have a nice bra size halter neck one piece which is very flattering.

Monr0e · 30/12/2018 09:58

That's lovely Thegirl does it hold everything in place? I can see DD dragging me down slides and into the rapids, I will need some good support!

Thanks for the suggestions, I never thought of a sports costume either, will have a look at those too

For actual swimming and movement (vs lying on a sun lounger Grin) I like the Speedo ones from bravissimo - underwired, bra sized but not overly matronly. (32G)

EmpressJewel · 30/12/2018 10:43

Pour moi from eBay.

I have two cup size bikinis for under £25 each.

Thegirlisnotright · 30/12/2018 18:53

Monr0e it survived my 3 year old clambering on me 😊 Yes I would
recommend it for holding everything in/support.

Look online on Figleaves- they sell various brands & I think they have a sale on.

They do swimsuits & bikins in larger bra sizes.

I've got 3 pretty F cup bikins from there & was considering buying a swimsuit too.
