Bikini / tankini for enormous boobs - alternative to Bravissimo?

8 replies

WhenAllTheCowsAreSleeping · 16/10/2019 17:18

Am very lucky to be heading to the sun this winter.

I had to chuck my bikini top away this summer. It was from Bravissimo about 8 years ago! Tankini top skill going strong though! I tend to buy plain black or navy then I can buy cheaper bottoms from anywhere to match as unfortunately I have a limited budget.

I went to my nearest Bravissimo this afternoon and was really disappointed by the limited selection. I’ve since been looking at their website and there’s just nothing I can see. I just want something very plain and neutral. Definitely no patterns!

I buy bras at John Lewis or Debenhams but they have no swimwear in my size.

As I said I’m not made of money but would be happy to pay £40-£50 as they’re good quality and last me years.

I’m reluctant to order online as I really need to try them on.

Any recommendations?

I’m rural but can get to a major city in an hour.

Thank you

I got a few tankinis from fig leaves this summer. Ordered a few different sizes & sent back what didn't fit/suit.

Brand new on eBay or Amazon - search by bra size

BraStop has a great selection

I have huge norks and swear by this @this one - it's fab www.figleaves.com/uk/figleaves-tuscany-spot-underwired-plunge-halter-tummy-control-swimsuit-d-gg-cup/FIG-003486.html - and on sale!

And comes in plain colours Blush

Definetly Brastop.

I have some Freya ones that are nice and also some Panache ones and they are true to size and I think free returns. I buy the tankini tops but if the pants don't fit or I don't like them, just send them back and buy bikini shorts from next in a plain colour.

Boopear - yours aren’t as big as mine! 😳 They don’t do my size ...

Frouby I hadn’t heard of Brastop - thanks

I know you say you’re reluctant to buy online but if you know your size I’d just buy from eBay. Eg I Type in 32FF Tankini I’m eBay and it comes up with loads of options. I’ve done that before many times. Really easy.
