Swimsuits for the large bust

[AvengingGerbil]

I am a 44F. I need a new swimsuit in order to be able to swim and possibly reduce said size.

I can't seem to find any swimsuits that will fit. They all seem to come with built-in cups/underwiring, and they only go up to C/D cup sizes.

Don't tell me to go to Bravissimo. They don't go over a 40 inch chest.

Any help gratefully received.

I'd bet my money on it that you are in the wrong size bra. I was wearing a 44 until I got measured properly and discovered I'm actually a 36!

Nope, I'm actually that fat. I am a size 28. Measured under the boobs I am 44 inches. Around them I am 52.

Disbelief doesn't actually help. I guess the manufacturers don't believe someone this huge can possibly want to expose themselves in public either.

You'll probably find that just a normal swimsuit without cups is your best bet, just get a large size and make sure it has shoulder straps or is a racer back.

I'm a JJ cup and don't have a swimsuit with cups and it is fine, honestly.

Avenginggerbil- unfortunately you may have to do an internet search...there is massive lack of choice for larger ladies.

i have similar problems in that I amm HH, but very tall, but can 't find longer bodied swimsuits for someone with big norks- Bravissimo ride up my bum something terrible.
Good luck!

Thanks ilove; any idea who might produce a cupless suit? Everyone I've seen helpfully includes those moulded things or wires, which are inevitably far too small. Or do you think they can just be ripped out?

I take your point AG, but measuring that way I come out at 38DD when actually Bravissmo fitted me as a 32G which gave me boobs that stayed north of my waist for the first time in years.

Debenhams have started stocking Fantasie swimsuits - they should have something to fit you. If not then look on the Fantasie website to order direct. HTH.

(fwiw I don't think Bravissimo measure properly so never buy bras from them as they always measure me smaller than I actually am)

Thanks everyone.
teasle I see that LandsEnd do a longer torso'd suit, if that is of any interest.

firstlady honestly, I really am a 44F. I've been measured in any number of different shops, and the only bras I own that actually fit are 44Fs. Smaller bands simply do not reach around me. You can't imagine how happy I would be to be a smaller size, but I'm not.

display I'll look into Debenhams/Fantasie right away. Thanks.

Any of these should be fine, they go up to a 24 and to be honest I always size down in swimwear...when in a 22 for clothes I had a size 16 swimsuit

This is very plain, but would be good for proper swimming in, and is actually your right cup size.

Also this in either red or blue in your cup size.

Sorry, me again.

Just noticed Figleaves have free delivery (and returns are always free anyway) on until end of today, so might be worth ordering a couple from them to try on

Mine is from Bravissimo and it is great and makes me look thinner because my boobs aren't swallowed up into my waist/tummy. It is this one:

And comes into the 'expensive but worth it' category.

have you looked on simply be? i got a joe browns tankini nad plenty of boob coverage without exposing my flabby midrif. i'm a 40h so feel your pain.
simply be also have a few other costumes that are good ones for actual swimming andf not messing about on hols.
also evans occassionally do plain black or sporty costumes with a bust support in ratheer than cups so are ok for larger boobs. i call it a shelf! its like an extra panel with tighter elastic at the bottom.

Thank you so much everyone - I'd never heard of figleaves, but I shall be ordering right away!

I knew I could rely on you to send me in the right direction.
