Endless searching for a specific style of tankini

I’d be so grateful for someone helping me find this!

i’m after a tankini top. Black or navy solid or background would be ideal as I have bikini bottoms which are fine.

it has to be supportive on my 36g boobs. I don’t mind wired or an elasticated band arrangement but it must be supportive. Something just sized ‘16’ won’t really work as I do honestly have very heavy, saggy big boobs and it’ll be deeply uncomfortable otherwise.

absolutely no padding, or removable at a push.

and (the bit I’m struggling with) I don’t want it clingy - I want it loose. All the blouson styles are totally unsupportive but that’s the look I’m after. I really like this one from lands end but they are totally out of anything in a 16/18 and i’m not
convinced it’s supportive anyway. I am a 16 but happy to size up a bit for looseness if the cup size fits. https://www.landsend.co.uk/s/LandsEndUK/Womens_Tulip_Hem_Tankini_Top/pp/5930629.html?coupon=AG25&cm_mmc=search_g_pla_12815416968m5930629&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADm_SrIWtDJX039JIy6fEvn9If-K-&gclid=CjwKCAjw8rW2BhAgEiwAoRO5rCPDeAebUzK21YBQYDZ2SZKjs7Dsb86MMAkhL-Mne0tw9e3GnkH04BoCFuYQAvD_BwE

I’ve tried everywhere I can think of - next (not
cup sized), bravissimo (found a green one but reviews are poor), pour moi (love their swimwear but they are currently all clingy or very plungy).

can anyone help me find what I am after? Supportive, loose fitting tankini please! Thanks.

Why not buy a well fitting supportive bikini and wear a loose tankini over the top? Anything supportive has to be tight especially when wet, so what you want is probably impossible

I was about to suggest the same as this^^

I have 36HH boobs 😩 and find any tankini tops which fit my boobs are the fitted type. I've just got one from Brastop and it is longer in the body which I wanted, but still fitted

I got this and it's great, I'm a 16/18 and a 38G. I think based on my measurements I was a 3XL. The top is really supportive (not wired though) and I did have to remove the padded cups.

Thanks all. I don’t mind a bikini with a looser top
over, but I can’t find tankini tops that don’t have some sort of bra structure in them, quite often with light padding or similar. That would equate to my bikini, then a padded layer then an outer layer - ooof!!

maybe I could cut the bra shelf part out of a blouson type top?

@Richtea67 where was that from please?

@Mykittensmittens it's from amazon, the brand is Flyily.
