Soft cup bikinis for larger busts?

ForSaleChesterDraws · 06/04/2024 18:00

I am currently a 32FF size 14 and looking for a bikini top that is sold in clothes sizes rather than bra cup sizes. I know it sounds weird but my weight fluctuates quite a bit and goes straight on my bust- I have gone through three cup sizes in the past year. I'd like a bikini that offers a bit more flexibility in cup size. I also would like higher waist bottoms.

Boden swimsuits fit me, but the bikini tops are far too small and there is boob everywhere. The same with M&S standard bikinis. Pour Moi tend to be cup sized, as are Freya and Curvy Kate (they have discontinued their triangle style that would have suited perfectly). I really don't like the Molke style at all. I've seen this but its not white its cream and the colour doesn't suit me https://www.next.co.uk/style/su030520/170602#170602

Any suggestions? TIA

I used to get mine from Next. They were always good quality and kept everything where it should be!

Have a look on Vinted . I've recently bought some new with tags bikini tops for buttons on there .

I have spent hours on Vinted! There is so much crap on there. If I ever find something that looks half promising then it tends to be a top only and have no matching bottoms anywhere near my size. It would be helpful to have brands to look for.

On a separate vibted rant I have also been on a reporting mission against people listing items as “brand new” and posting holiday pictures of themselves at pool parties wearing said bikinis. Brand new doesn’t mean your fanny has been sweating against it!

I have this in red and black. The top is stretchy and bottoms comfy and flattering.

Unfortunately that’s cup sized so not what I’m looking for. I want clothes sized because my weight yo-yos considerably and always comes off my bust. (I’ve lost 20lb this year- I lost 2” off my waist but a whopping 4.5” off my bust!). Any slight change in weight alters my boobs dramatically so I want generously cut clothes sizes to give me flexibility.

I don’t think what you want exists. I am a mismatched size top and bottom so buy bikini separates. Could you buy one pair of bikini bottoms and two or three matching tops in different sizes?

@ForSaleChesterDraws I did see that, I’m 32E/F and size 12-14. I’ve not yet found a clothes sized bikini top that fits. 14 too big on the band, 12 too small in the cup. There might be some halterneck styles that would work but I need a bit more support than that these days.
The other options are the one size crinkle type, like YouSwim but they are £££
