So usually I am happy enough to wear a bikini or a nice costume but I’ve recently had surgery on my tummy (fibroids) and have scars so I want a new costume that’s a bit more comfortable and a bit more flattering and covers scars.

Bravissimo is the only place I know that does this sort of sized swimwear it where else can I try? I got a couple from ‘simple be’ I think a few years ago but although pretty they were not remotely supportive on the tummy and I’m bigger now so want that.

i could possibly wear high waisted bikini I guess although scars are at belly button height.

any ideas of other places to look?

budget £50-70ish.

Try Brastop. They do cup sized swimwear up to K cup from lots of different brands.

Have a look at Fantasie swimwear.

Try the next sale. I picked up some swimwear from Fantasie online with Next. Also, if you are going for cup sized, someone on here suggested go up a back size but down a cup size. Worked perfectly.

Belle lingerie stocks Freya and fantasie swimwear- I have loads of costumes in 32ff. They also have an eBay shop for prior year stock at better prices.

I second brastop - they are far better than bravissimo imo. They often have free delivery weekends and flash sales so worth signing up with them. I find they have a better choice (especially if you’re more of a “quirky” size)

I’m a 34F and bought new bikinis from Next. A range of bottom styles to suit. Great quality and value for money! I’m really impressed!

Cliche but Boden.

I'm a similar size to you and the Levanzo looks fab and also have a Santorini which I like

I love these but are they generous in the cup for a larger cup? 32F - not sure what size to order? 12 or 14 maybe?

I'm a 12-14, 34F and the 14 is a good fit.

Agreed. The Santorini is very flattering and has enough inbuilt support for me.
