Please help to find me a swimsuit!

I need a high necked costume and preferably one with some sort of support. Bra size is 32GG. It's so difficult to find anything suitable because to get an adequate fit for my boobs I need a much larger size which would be too big for my body.
I've tried Bravissimo - nothing suitable. I've just ordered a few from Next, but I'm really not sure if they'll be any good.
I have in the past bought this one but they just don't last when I go I. The pool.

Sorry it doesn't seem to want to post, it's the Magisculpt Wonderpiece I have had before, I have to buy a size 14 to get my boobs into it.

Sorry for the massive link!

Haha thank you! I mean I don't want any cleavage showing. High bandeau style maybe.

I've just bought this Speedo one from bravissimo in my bra size. Haven't tried it on yet however. www.bravissimo.com/products/iris-speedo-halterneck-sports-swimsuit-so108/#black-so108blk

I hadn't realised this one was underwired and also chlorine proof! Mine go in the bum after just a few weeks! Back to Bravissimo then, thank you. I really wish there were more shops, my closest one is miles away. Thanks

Try Tesco! They aren't in bra sizes but they're quite supportive as they suck you in. I'm a 30H and just sized up.

Another technique that can work is to buy a high necked swimsuit with zero breast support (no elasticated shelf and no foam pads) and wear a supportive bikini top underneath. Or get an underwired swimsuit you like without worrying about visible cleavage then add a rash top over it for coverage and sun protection.

Yes I by-passed it to start with as well, expensive but has great reviews. Our nearest is miles away too.

I've got an order coming from Next now and I think I'll have to try Bravissimo again. I definitely like the idea of chlorine proof swimwear.
Not seen anything suitable at Tesco but thank you for the suggestion,

Having to return the Speedo from Bravissimo but have ordered a different size. Came up too big all over in my normal bra size. Really annoying not to be able to try on in store.
