Help! Need swimsuit for "the girls"

[autumnsmommy]

Well, not just them, but I've lost a lot of weight lately, but the girls remain the same. I'm looking for a halter or bra style top, tankini-ish since the belly should not see light of day, and ideally it would be available in separates, since if i get big enough for the top, the bottom falls off or swishes in the water behind me like a tail. I tried the Lands End separates, but my cups runneth over in those styles
Looking for about a 18 top with at least enough room for a cantelope on each side

See if they have a speciality bra store near you (not VS). In my area we have a speciality bra store that also sells two piece bathing suits that are bra size. I think the name of the bra is Fantasie or something to that, they also have another brand but I can't remember the name. Also, try Dillards the bras I bought from the speciality store they sell in Dillards. You can also try googling bra size bathing suits and see if anything comes up. I hope this helps or someone has better answers your questions.

They have bra sized separate tops and then a bunch of bottoms to choose from to mix and match and get the right fit:

When you tried Lands End, did you try the Valleta Bandeau? I bought that one this year, and it contains the double-D's quite nicely as long as you keep the straps on. It's on sale at the moment, too.

northshoreswimwear.com they will make it to fit you no matter how many times it takes(may only take oonce)....pick your style and fabric and in a week or so it is yours! It is totally custom fit with your measurements

Not sure what cup size you are, but I managed to get a DD and I really like the tankini I bought from Land's End.

This is the style I have and it is available in DDD as well. Hope that helps.

A friend of mine swears by JCrew for her ta-tas - but I love Athleta.

Last year I had gotten a 'tankini' at Macys....it was big enough to fit my gals (42G)! I didn't feel like I was gonig to fall out either!

They sell them in separates, so I could get a bottom in a 'normal' size and a top in a BIG size!

They did have them this year too (at least around Memorial Day).

I love Miraclesuits though they are expensive unless you can find them at Marshalls or TJMaxx. Cyberswim is a great website.

Also I use to have a horrible time finding swimsuits because I didn't realize I had a long torso. So checking the torso measurement might help in finding suits that fit.

Miraclesuits come in DD or DDD or Long torso but not DD and long torso. So I buy a suit with halter ties and it works well to give a little bit of length in the torso.

I have had great luck with swimsuitsforall.com I have lost 50 pounds, but still need the larger top as well. JC Penney also had some great separates this summer.

Good luck!

I got a nice, halter-style suit a couple yrs ago from Spiegel. I'm not sure what sizes they carry, but I imagine they have a selection of all different sizes. It is great quality and has good support.

For my DDD's I wear the Lands End suit but found that the halter style revealed way too much and I felt like I was going to fall out. I have the scoop neck, similar to the one in the link below and LOVE IT.

I wear mine crossed in the back and feel very secure.

I just ordered a suit from womanwithin.com.

They fit great and are on sale for 50% off. The I did a search for coupons and found a 50% off and got the suit for 17.00 plus shipping. I think it was 23.00 total!! it fit great and is really cute!!

My girls are more watermelon than cantelope (DD+) and the lands end bathing suits fit them quite well. I have tankinis.

 

[momto2inKC]

I love the tankini style at Target! I have quite a few of the tops from the plus size line, then I get solid color bottoms from the regular size dept. They are really comfy and fit incredibly well, keeping them 'up' where they are supposed to be lol

I was able to get a bra sized suit at:

http://www.barenecessities.com/

They seemed to have lots of styles earlier this summer and in hard to find sizes. I'm a 32F so not an easy size to find and there was a lot to choose from for me! Also google for a coupon code, there are usually lots out there. You generally get free shipping over $50 and their return policy is very easy. I use them a lot for bras!

this is closer to my size..40H, and the dd and ddd cups don't cut it for me....sorry didn't say how large the cantelopes were
