Before you order, remember that uk cup sizes are different than Canadian ones -- I think a DDD is actually and F or G cup -- you can try on european /uk brands where you live, and then order, or talk to an online bra fitter. I ordered a swimsuit top that has amazing support -- you will not regret it!</p> <p>Do not hesitate to buy from this shop -- it changed my life, and I do not buy bras, swimsuits, or tank tops anywhere else now. When I used to buy regular swimsuits at department stores they either squished me, or just did not offer enough support for swiming. I cannot sing their praises enough, and despite a shipping charge, (I live in Canada, and they do ship here) and buying online, their items have always fit me ten times better than anything I spent hours on in a changing room (I have been to their shops in the uk as well, and they are wonderful). Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-393031 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:56:30 +0000 Freckles 393031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I should have mentioned that their website is awful. They have certain styles suits but bolts and books of fabric, you are not really limited on that at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-393018 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:39:10 +0000 Freckles 393018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.forbieactivewear.com/Contact_Us/index.epl" rel="nofollow">http://www.forbieactivewear.co...../index.epl</a></p> <p>I'm not sure of their hours this weekend, over the long weekend, though. They might only be open Saturday. My Mom was there today but she said she didn't notice if they had a sign up or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-393006 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:21:34 +0000 NancyT 393006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles, can you tell me where this Forbes place is? Strangely enough, we are going to Ottawa this weekend....maybe I could pop in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-393005 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:09:42 +0000 Sveta 393005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to another SW Ontarian! Sorry I have no advice on the swimsuits though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-392944 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:16:14 +0000 Freckles 392944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry don't know GTA but here in Ottawa they have Forbes, a swimwear place that custom makes suits. They are made for swimmers and their fabric is excellent re chlorine, etc. They must have something similar in Toronto as it's a much larger city. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-392833 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:15:08 +0000 celia 392833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really have no advice but get very excited when I see other people from the GTA posting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-392828 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:10:47 +0000 Lynne 392828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't tried them, but I've heard good things about Lands End. Worth checking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-woes-canadian-girls-out-there#post-392783 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 19:18:36 +0000 NancyT 392783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone:</p> <p>I'm having a terrible time trying to find a bathing suit that fits my chest. Originally I wanted a Speedo/TVR suit that are made out of chlorine resistent fabric that they have now since I'm doing aquafit and swimming in my pool. However, I just tried on a dozen of these, and none have the bust support I need....even though they have built it bras in them. I'm a 34DD (apparently) and a size 10-12.</p> <p>Any advice? Anyone know of a place in the GTA that could help me out with this problem?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
