I'm not as crazy about the tank style you linked to, although I can see how it would be a bit better in terms of support - just that this style doesn't look as nice (to my eye) as the others. </p> <p>Is it possible to get something like the one in #1 and have a tailor put a halter strap on it? Wide straps, not like the super thin ones in link #2. </p> <p>I think you could easily order something from this list, but that you'd want to take the suit to a tailor and have a wider (halter or otherwise) strap(s) attached. I'm willing to bet you can have any kind of strap(s) attached to these - you might end up buying some material from a fabric shop (bathing suit material in a similar colour to the prints) and then taking it to your tailor. </p> <p>I can't imagine why the following types of straps couldn't be added to any of the suits you linked to:</p> <p>halter style:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-floral-beach-halter-solid-one-piece-swimsuit~237281_593.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....038;sku_0=</a>::RPU&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_swimwear-_-women-_-shop-by-silhouette-_-one-piece-swimsuits&amp;origin=index</p> <p>straps attached to suit:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-draped-sweetheart-one-piece-slender-suit~231662_593.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....038;sku_0=</a>::GC2&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_swimwear-_-women-_-shop-by-silhouette-_-one-piece-swimsuits&amp;origin=index</p> <p>Why couldn't you attach brown straps to the "We Are Handsome" one piece with the lion print? You could also remove the teensy-tiny straps in the ruffled blue suit and attach some straps or a strap that was a bit more substantial. </p> <p>Yes, a hassle - but if you love these prints, I bet it can be done relatively easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664917 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 03:07:09 +0000 ironkurtin 664917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have large tracts of land (to quote Monty Python), but I'm pretty sure your girls will be running free if you try to contain them in those things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664912 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:59:40 +0000 Anonymous 664912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful prints! They don't look very supportive, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664875 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:12:51 +0000 Jonesy 664875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, agree with the others that it's probably unlikely that the first one will work. I do like the tank version (in terms of being practical). Fab print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664849 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:58:22 +0000 Janet 664849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my. Those are all awesome and they all look great for an A or maybe B cup. It's worth trying one on if there is an easy return policy or if you can try on in person, but those pictures are not encouraging to me. </p> <p>I sympathize. At a 32DDD it's frustrating to look past all the cool and edgy but cleavage-baring suits that would look totally vulgar on me, as I shuffle over to the suits that actually go by cup sizes. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664752 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:44:35 +0000 annagybe 664752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My breasts are very wide set. It takes major engineering for me to even get a hint of cleavage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664751 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:43:12 +0000 Diana 664751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell... the lion is underwired, so I think it would be supportive enough, but I'm not sure there is enough fabric in the cups for a D cup. I'm not sure that looks like enough fabric for me and I am only a 34C. </p> <p>Oddly I think the last halter style might actually work if you are shaped like me with very wide-set boobs and a wide sternum. (might look weird though, I'm not sure.)</p> <p>ETA: those are super cool prints, though, definitely worth a try if you can find one to try on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664732 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:09:00 +0000 annagybe 664732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just found the tank version of the lion</p> <p><a href="http://www.lanouvellevague.com/en/one-piece-we-are-handsome-the-lion-2012.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lanouvellevague.com.....-2012.html</a></p> <p>I wish I could wear a bikini, ugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664727 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:02:51 +0000 catgirl 664727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not for me. (32DD) That cup style is not going to hold anything in if you bend over. Also I hate having the support factor pulling on my neck with a halter. I'd wear it to lounge but not to get in the water and be active in any way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664726 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:01:54 +0000 Dashrashi 664726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything with visibly-defined cups, I would require that the swimsuit be specially sized for D+ and up. I don't think it's very likely that it would fit. The other two also look like they lack support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664723 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:54:00 +0000 Carole 664723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look a little flimsy to me, but I guess it depends if you need extra help holding the girls up! They sure are cute, though, especially love #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-swimsuit-be-supportive-enough#post-664712 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:40:00 +0000 annagybe 664712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you look at the third picture, there is a halter strap. For the record I'm 36 D.
