Swim style for the large of bust-post here

I am 32F-G (currently breast feeding)
Am petite (8)
Am having a nightmare with regards swimwear for my upcoming holiday.
Would prefer swimsuit have never really been a bikini wearer (prefer more leaping around and swimming etc and look better in a suit TBH)

So I thought I would start a thread with the suits that I have tried so far.
I am happy to spend up to £50 as am unlikely to have such a large bust next summer

Ballet Acapulco-too large in 34FF, good cup size and is flattering if slightly bulky, will try the 34

Ballet Casablanca in 32F, perfect fit but bandeau bust line flattened boobs in an odd fashion-tried on in Bravissimo

Triumph halterneck for your curves Found this on ebay for £12 in pink, so have bought in a 32F (good fit but not wild about it , so will do if find nothing else)

Freya red plunge suit Cups not large enough

pour moi fiji halterneck in a 14
Not enough support in the bust

FIRST OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE DARRELLRIVERS LARGER BUST SWIMWEAR SEARCH

Have had the parcel from M&S and the size 16 was too baggy

But this in a navy, size 14 , halterneck was lovely

and so was this in black, also 14

Can't decide which one as they are similar looking
And I looked great which was lovely
Good bust support and stylish to boot
The halterneck had the nicer neckline but the black one had less ruching and activity around the legs

Am tending towards the halterneck in navy
And also waiting for the Freya Supernova tankini in turqoise

FINAL REPORT

The Freya Supernova tankini in turquoise just came
It is beautiful here

The fit was good, but my goodness my cleavage was enhanced.
I nearly lost an eye
I think it would have looked good if I was lounging by a pool with a cocktail and sunglasses all my holiday]
(strangely that doesn't seem to be on the itinerary)

I like the navy swimsuit!

I am also having a mare with swimwear. Had bought a bikini but dare not wear as have stretch marks so am searching for Tankini's. Ordered 1 from next that fits beautifully bu can't say I am blown away by it.

Dress's are always a nightmare too....

I am also size 8 32F and breastfeeding. My question is how do you breast feed with reasonable discretion in a swimsuit/bikini? will a tankini be the answer? I've been looking everywher for nursing swimwear and haven't found anything. Any suggestions?
