Plus size swimwear

I'm in need of new swimwear this summer. Large chested size 20. I prefer a tankini as i've a long body and it's just easier to fit.

Previously my go to has been Debenhams for a wired cup size tankini, or more generous soft cup size swimsuits. Before them i was always BHS. Anyhow, clearly can't buy there anymore. My boobs don't usually fit in supermarket swimwear, and no one would want to see me in a bikini.

Any recommendations on where to look? I can't really face £80+ ones on bravissimo. I need to buy 2 sets, so am looking for them to be a bit more budget friendly.

Maybe look on ebay for bra sized tankini tops? Bon Marche do swimwear with cups, but not bra sized so trial and error there. I'm a GG cup and so the cups don't hold the bust completely but as it's a dark colour, it's not that obvious that some bosom is squeezed out the bottom!

Also a site called Curvissa but that's pricey too, though not quite as bad as Bravissimo.

Have sometimes found bargains on Amazon too but again, not necessarily cup sized.

I'm a size 22 with big bust and I ordered a load of swimsuits off Shein. Didn't think they would fit but some of them are lovely! Also on In The Style, Jess Millichamp has a beautiful plus size swimwear range!

I have got a couple of one piece, soft cup swimsuits from Bonprix. Quite a few of the standard ranges go up to plus size. Very pleased with them for the price.

I've bought most of mine from Temu, they have a curve section . The ones I've bough are all good quality. I've seen them on Amazon at twice the price.
