I have two. The thing is if you're a 30 band, I think you'll find an 8 too big - that is if you choose an underwire suit. I take a size 12 suit but an 8 in the bikini top (I'm a 34 bra band). For this reason if I were you I'd choose a bikini top in a 2 or 4. When I bought a tankini top in a 12 it was way too big in the underwire. Oh and it looks like LE is has 40% of swim - ending today. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665510 Mon, 23 May 2016 07:47:25 +0000 Astrid 1665510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you a 30F UK or US? I guess Lands End is not the best option for a one piece - if you pick the size 8 you won't get the support you need on top if you usually wear a size 30 band. And they only go up to DDD (US?). I would look for tankinis and try the linked above Bare Neccessities and Figleaves. If you buy bra sized swimwear you should buy the correct size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665459 Mon, 23 May 2016 02:09:45 +0000 elpgal 1665459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the great suggestions and links. I had a look around and Lands End seems to be the best bet for a one-piece. I am open to trying a two-piece but will probably stick with a tanking top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665254 Sun, 22 May 2016 13:02:55 +0000 Astrid 1665254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In priciple fitting for bikinis and swimsuits works just like bra fitting. Do you have a favourite bra that fits you perfectly? You might use that as a starting point to research swimwear that has a good chance of working for you if you want to order online. I picked my bikinis after reading lots of recommendations on the bra fitting forum where I was fitted years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665253 Sun, 22 May 2016 13:01:55 +0000 kkards 1665253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try these sites….they all have some swimwear that's sold by bra size..</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.figleaves.com/us/">http://www.figleaves.com/us/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everythingbutwater.com">https://www.everythingbutwater.com</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.barenecessities.com/Bra-Sized-Swimsuits-Swimwear_catalog_nxs,121,style,37636.htm?cmp=Email2016">http://www.barenecessities.com.....m?cmp=Emai</a></p> <p>at lands end they have suits by cup size…..and if you order today swim is 40% off….(i heard years ago that lands end sold more swimsuits than anyone else in the US, so i'd give them a try because i would assume that there suits work well for most body types. plus they have wide arrange of styles…)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.landsend.com/shop/womens-swimsuits/-/N-fxmZgmb?brandCode=classic&amp;cm_re=lec-_-wms-_-global-_-glbnv-swimsuits-_-20160316-_-txt">http://www.landsend.com/shop/w....._-wms-_-gl</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665249 Sun, 22 May 2016 12:58:13 +0000 Staysfit 1665249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchase two piece suits for the reasons stated, and I buy each piece separately, typically from a more athletic or gear oriented company. My reason is because I have a long torso which is also hard to find with a bra size that will fit 32C. I have never purchased from Freya. I have purchased from local stores, but online I would look at Athleta, and J Crew. My daughter who also purchases like this has had luck with ASOS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665247 Sun, 22 May 2016 12:53:53 +0000 RobinF 1665247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lands End and Title Nine both have bra sizing for swim suits. I only buy suits from Lands End these days. Nice fabrics, decent fit and I can try them in at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665240 Sun, 22 May 2016 12:42:26 +0000 Astrid 1665240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a size 30 too, I bought my two Freya bikini tops in a 30DD UK. But I would have a hard time squeezing myself into a size 30 bra sized swimsuit! The few I tried where a 32D. But the bottom part never worked out for me, they seemed to assume small on top meant small on the bottom. I always had bikinis and tankinis because of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665185 Sun, 22 May 2016 10:08:30 +0000 Helen11 1665185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a 2 piece with bra - sizing for the top, by Freya. I don't know if they do one-piece styles.<br /> Do you need a 'fashion' or 'exercise' one?<br /> There are always better ranges in shops in the holiday locations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665037 Sun, 22 May 2016 01:02:58 +0000 Style Fan 1665037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There seem to be some online places like Bare Necessities that stock them.&nbsp; I have bought them in swimsuit stores in major urban centres like Toronto.&nbsp; We are about the same size.&nbsp; I always buy 2 pieces but that is my preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-sized-swimsuit--good-idea-for-a-one#post-1665033 Sun, 22 May 2016 00:52:54 +0000 elpgal 1665033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swimsuits with the flimsy boob cups are no longer supportive enough so I am looking for alternatives. How do you buy these bra-sized suits. I am a size 30F and a women's 8. </p>
