I have a long torso, short legs, and am also a size 16. </p> <p>Here is what worked for me. First, I buy a bikini top. Then, I buy a rashguard for over top of it. Provides modesty and protection from the sun. As I burn&nbsp;quickly in the water, even with SPF 50 waterproof sunscreen, I find this to&nbsp;be the best soultion.</p> <p>I know they now make swim bras that go under a one piece, but I have never purchased one, so I can't comment on them.</p> <p>Outside of the water, I have a light and breezy swim cover up. Goes from just past my elbows to my knees. Lets me play in the sand with DD or just sit under a tree with little risk of burning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-swimwear-by-bra-size#post-1264656 Fri, 30 May 2014 03:54:37 +0000 MuseumGal 1264656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also a 38G/H, and I wear a sports bra under a tank suit.&nbsp; Works pretty well, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-swimwear-by-bra-size#post-1264272 Thu, 29 May 2014 21:03:27 +0000 Kaelyn 1264272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How's a size 16 woman with a size 38-G bra to find a well-fitting, supportive, and modest swimsuit?</p> <p>I've been searching for swimsuits by bra size and I've found plenty of results for that, but they have no way of specifying the size of the rest of the suit. I can order a 38-G swim top, but reviews on a lot of them say they're too tight, so I'm guessing they're all one size fits all, except for the bust. This wouldn't be a problem if I wanted a bikini top, as they're basically bras anyway, but I want something that will fully cover my middle, and preferably have full or almost full breast coverage. </p> <p>I've settled so many times for plus size suits that fit up to DDD (and as we know, people selling them will swear left and right that DDD is the equivalent to F/G, but it ISN'T), but they just don't do it for me. I need full support, from the back, not to have a halter tied tightly behind my neck trying to hold 'em up. Especially because I actually SWIM in swimsuits. I want to do it for exercise.</p> <p>Are there any similarly sized women out there on the YLF forum with a recommendation that has worked? Or at least anyone who knows where I can find a place with that kind of sizing? Ideally, I'd like a tankini top and a skirted bottom, or board shorts, which are easier to find, but a one-piece would also do. I've tried Bravissimo and Freya already, and all that pops up when I Google is Victoria's Secret, which I KNOW doesn't carry my size.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
