I hope you can find it available to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173853 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:46:47 +0000 Sara L. 1173853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. &nbsp;The bikini might be easier to fit since you are different sizes on top and bottom. &nbsp;I'm long-waisted and have a hard time finding one-piece suits that I'm excited about (they're out there, they're just so boring or way too expensive). &nbsp;I mostly wear bikinis, although I&nbsp;have one tankini that I hate for the reasons you've stated - it won't stay put. &nbsp;I was thinking a tankini top with side ruching might stay put better but I haven't put this theory to practice yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173756 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 20:08:58 +0000 E 1173756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh those are both so&nbsp;pretty! I hope one works for you. Swimsuit shopping is terrible, isn't it?</p> <p>For my other delicate bust companions, I'd highly recommend <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.target.com/p/mossimo-women-s-mix-and-match-molded-cup-bandeau-swim-top-indigo-night/-/A-14811531#prodSlot=medium_1_45&amp;term=bandeau bikini">this</a> Target bikini top. It's a padded bandeau with a widely spaced little halter strap, that somehow magically makes me look a bit&nbsp;busty. I had to size up to a medium to avoid squishing the top of my chest (a la a strapless bra), but it makes me feel SO confident (it comes in plus sizes too! just don't know if it would have enough supportive for bigger busts, since I don't have any experience in judging that). It comes in lots of colours &amp; prints and since it's mix and match, there are even some more&nbsp;modest bottom options (I got the boy shorts but I don't know if they're still for sale, as this was a year or two ago). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173697 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 18:51:00 +0000 rebekahphoto 1173697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you might take a look at <a href="http://www.swimsuitsforall.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.swimsuitsforall.com/</a><br />I ordered a suit there a few years ago on a whim and it fit perfect! even my Es or (DDD however we like to call them) were happy!

I like that they have&nbsp;scrunch-back bottoms that offer more than minimal coverage. They make the butt look very shapely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173546 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:43:16 +0000 rachylou 1173546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the stripes of #1, but call me old fashioned, I'm not a fan of bikinis.

I love both of your choices of swimsuit! They are very different and equally fab. I noticed that you ruled out Lands End because their sizing was inadequate. Have you tried them before? I find their cup sizes don't match regular bra sizes. I'm a 34 E (DD) or 34 F (DDD) and I find that their single D-cup swimsuits are plenty big for my girls! Cheers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173280 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:49:35 +0000 kkards 1173280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>have you tried everything but water? they have a wide arrange of sizes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173279 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:47:15 +0000 April 1173279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest this one:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biggerbras.com/tara-grinna-swimsuits/tara-grinna-black-front-overlay-cup-sized-underwire-swim-top-style-142.shtml">http://www.biggerbras.com/tara.....underwire-</a>&nbsp; until you pointed out that (somewhat bizarre) return policy. &nbsp;</p> <p>Seems like the effect of that policy would be to keep customers from really buying a lot, doesn't it? &nbsp;Hmm -- interesting business model... </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;More options:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lindasonline.com/">http://www.lindasonline.com/</a></p> <p>(I love this one in the turquoise color:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lindasonline.com/sunsets-underwire-twist-tankini-top-77nnbk-black.html">http://www.lindasonline.com/su.....black.html</a>&nbsp;)</p> <p></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bravissimo.com/">http://www.bravissimo.com/</a></p> <p></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.envie4u.co.uk/swimwear/bra-sized-swimwear/bikini-tops.html">http://www.envie4u.co.uk/swimw.....-tops.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173277 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:40:47 +0000 Thistle 1173277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bigger bras only allows you to return $150 per year or 3 items, whichever comes first. So, they are not really an option unless you are very sure it is going to work for you.</p> <p> They do have a lot of really interesting items, (and in my size!) but I am totally unsure of my sizing as I don't buy my bras from any of their swimwear brands.</p> <p>I will see if their customer service can recommend anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173232 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 06:14:18 +0000 catgirl 1173232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>biggerbras.com has a good selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173207 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 05:11:34 +0000 Isabel 1173207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I just adore the blue one. &nbsp;I love rucking/draping of any sort.....and I adore ombré. &nbsp; This hits both of my "loves". &nbsp; : )&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173199 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 05:05:08 +0000 MuseumGal 1173199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I've never found a suit that comes anywhere near supporting the G/H cup boobs of wrath.&nbsp; I wear a simple tank suit.&nbsp; And under it a sports bra.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.barenecessities.com/product.aspx?pfid=Natori731050&amp;source=gbase&amp;cm_mmc=GLPA-_-Bra-_-Natori731050-_-NA&amp;term=Natori731050&amp;BillboardPopupEnabled=false&amp;cmp=bpp20&amp;c3ch=CSE&amp;c3nid=GooglePLA&amp;BorderfreeEnabled=False&amp;mr:trackingCode=27F40AE7-AC43-E211-A87C-001B21A69EB8&amp;mr:referralID=NA&amp;mr:device=c&amp;mr:adType=pla&amp;mr:ad=47362930811&amp;mr:keyword=&amp;mr:match=&amp;mr:filter=87628251491&amp;gclid=CN6Cqui53LwCFc5hfgodDl0ADg" rel="nofollow">Currently this</a> one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173176 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 04:24:13 +0000 Anonymous 1173176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I've had good luck with the customer service at&nbsp;llswim.com. &nbsp;You might check out the Fantasie brand swimsuits. &nbsp;They go up to an J cup in some styles. &nbsp;Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173160 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 04:03:26 +0000 adorkable 1173160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and also biggerbras.com - all of the sites that sell annoying-to-find bra sizes have some good swimwear options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173158 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 04:00:21 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1173158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one. I've had suits from lands end and they are great quality. I think it's Athleta that also sells suits in cup sizes, though I'm not sure how high they go up.</p> <p>I need to buy a swimsuit too - haven't bought one in years. I have a long torso so that's usually my trouble with one pieces although I prefer them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173156 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:57:38 +0000 Anonymous 1173156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both your picks. Like Suz, I have no bust which makes finding a suit difficult. At my age I also want to show as little of my bottom as possible. No high cuts. I guess it's time to start looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173144 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:44:08 +0000 adorkable 1173144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you familiar with figleaves.com and barenecessities.com? </p> <p>Both have at least some tank suits in bra sizes - and you can order a ton and return what you don't like.</p> <p>(I get most of my bras this way as well, since the selection in my size in stores is poor. Buy everything that might be reasonable, and then return 90%.) </p> <p>As a bonus, you can try on bathing suits at home, which is much less stressful than in-store!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173142 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:43:43 +0000 Thistle 1173142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The go up to DDD.

Why not order just to see? If the blue one worked it would be so wonderful for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have nowhere to shop for suits...and my fit issues are sort of the opposite to yours (with no bust to speak of) but...<b>GAH</b>, I also need a suit!!! Thank you for that reminder.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swimsuit-yeah-its-february-i-know#post-1173121 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:24:59 +0000 Thistle 1173121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So Angie said February is the best time to buy swimwear. I know, I know, but I procrastinated last year until . . wait for it . . . June!!! Before I could even wear it (wasn't warm enough here until July for the beach) and they were all sold out. </p> <p></p> <p>I would prefer the suit be in "bra sizing" based on my need for support, but that pretty much leaves bikinis, which I am less than sure about. Takinis <b><i>never </i></b>stay in place . . .</p> <p></p> <p>I refuse to do miriclesuits or anything else that squishes, compresses, or otherwise makes me miserable instead of letting me enjoy my very limited time at the beach with DD.</p> <p></p> <p>Pic #1 - I was eying up this from Nordies which is one of 3 options in my size.&nbsp; I would then get plain black bottoms.</p> <p>Pic#2 - I love, but I doubt there would be enough support for the girls</p> <p></p> <p>Anyone have anyplace else they shop for swimsuits?</p> <p></p> </p>
