Help I need a bra sized bikini without needing a second mortgage!!!!!

[firstmum45]

Is it really so difficult? I am a 32e I need a bra sized bikini. tis easy to find one for mega bucks but want to be able to buy a couple. Anyone suggest where I might look.

I did find some bargains on la senza website my dh said order them but having my sensible head on I told him I would check sizings and quality locally first and guess what ....I confirmed my size and bikini fit quality ok cos I wanted it to hold me in in all the right places local la senza did not have the size I wanted in my colour but when I returned home to order online everything in my size has gone grrrrrrrrrr! Next is picked clean, also nothing on ebay.

I can easily find ones at £50 but want to buy a couple can anyone help.

ps Bravissimo is megabucks and brastop have nothing in my size

OOh - there's a figleaves discount site, there was a thread not so long ago - will try to find it.

Figleaves Clearance site, but there's something weird about returns - I'll find the thread.

have you checked ebay? Sometimes you can get non-average sizes for a bargain.

I got a whole Freya bikini last year for £6

The thread.

Is there anything in the Bravissimo sale? The figleaves clearance site definitely has bra sized bikinis - I think that returns are OK, but that they don't advertise the fact.

Thanks for info all off to look at figleaves now

I,m still looking

Figleaves is picked clean.

Next at first look have lots of choice but once you put the items in your basket that is when they confirm if in stock.

Not much left I do not want black need bright colours also can't do thin straps as not kind to mature figure!!!!

back to my surfing now

will let u know if I find anything thanks

Would this purple one from Bravissimo work? It has thinner straps but there are two of them on each side. It has quite good "coverage" too. It's still £22 in the sale, so not that cheap, tis the only downside.

figleaves clearance

Back again thanks The Blonde figleaves clearance has some amazing bargains but I have got there too late for anything in my size.

Mrs TittleMouse this style is really good would pay this price as getting desperate now, however not sure the colour would suit me. I like the freya jelly bean one but bravissimo don't have the bottoms (i need medium)am trying other sites for the bottoms but do not hold out much hope as it was last years collection.

I,m not going away till end of August but already fear I have missed out on some sales.

I have a swimming costume but recent weight loss and the fitting of decent bra has rendered my body not to bad to wear a bikini and at my age (48) want to make the most of it before I start to look too decrepid .

Will continue with my online searches after dd goes to bed/ and asleep.

what about ditching the bra-sized bit and just going for a halter top bikini instead

FM45 - I bought some excellent ones in Tescos! Halter and regular. Not sure about the E cup but saw A-D, so if ou bought a larger back size maybe you could get awauy with say a 34D - I needed a 36c and managed with a 38B.. as just a bikini not so crucial to be perfect fit - and VERY cheap.

thanks the blonde this had crossed my mind guess i would have to try loads on in diff sizes to see the effect.

Mrs GofG I have seen the tesco ones they have some really pretty ones and my swimsuit from bravissimo is a 34d as it was smaller in body than usual so was advised by fitter to go up in back size from 32 to 34 but to compensate go from e to d cup hey you could be a bra fitter and you have not even seen my boobs!!!!!

MMJ that red bikini is lovely but they do not have bottoms in a 12. My daughter would like too she is into red at the moment!

Back to my surfing now and a trip to tescos tomorrow as dd will be at pre school

thanks all

Hurrah after spending over an hour in Tesco's I found some bikini coverage for my norkage.

The preformed bikini tops were no good did not have my exact size and experimenting with different cup and back sizes did not produce anything worth considering, however I discoverd that the a halter neck top with wide straps was vey good as you could alter the tension and provide good support for norkage!

I ended up with a size ten top halter neck top to fit d/dd cup am usually 32e. Great I thought lets by loads as Tesco were virtually giving them away (£3).

Just my luck no other cols designs available in my size.

At least now I can consider more options than a true bra size bikini top however not sure if mail order a good idea cos fittings vary so much.

great that you found something

You make a good point MSM am not going away til end of August so will keep looking.

What size is small for the freya pants I am a twelve so would I need a medium or does it depend on style?
