Looking at buying a boden tankini - i'm large of nork (34G) and need material coverage. Rest of me is a 14 in boden normal clothes but what about a tankini top - do they account for boobs!

Hello - I have only tried the bikini tops rather than tankini and have found they do not account for boobs - I am 32/34D and buy the size 14 and i don't think that would fit a "G"! I am size 10 in normal boden clothes but had to get the 14 bikini just because of the D cup.
Also i have to buy the ones that "tie" at the back rather than the ones with a clip as otherwise the size 14 assumes you are at least 36. Also the bottoms are quite small - i always order a size bigger than normal so i don't get unsightly bulgy bits over the top. (Should also add that i haven't bought any for the last two years for the above reasons so it could be that the sizing has now changed??)

You need proper support with a G cup, I'd go to bravissimo. The freya swim range are excellent for the large of nork.

They are a bit of a tight fit and no mistake.

thanks - think i may have to bite the bullet and actually go to the shops to try some on!

I don't need to actually swim in my tankini just longue around a spa and not fall out!

I am 34 g-h and seem to come out as a Boden size 14-16 I bought a halterneck swimsuit (size 18, was still trying to suss my Boden size) in the sale last summer. I haven't worn it swimming yet, but DH was very enthusiastic about the overall effect.

I agree with the Freya tip, the vodka range is vair smart.
