Would this swimsuit be supportive enough

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.

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.

I just found the tank version of the lion

I wish I could wear a bikini, ugh.

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.

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.)

ETA: those are super cool prints, though, definitely worth a try if you can find one to try on.

My breasts are very wide set. It takes major engineering for me to even get a hint of cleavage.

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful prints! They don't look very supportive, though.

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.

These are all very beautiful prints - and I'm inclined to say that the one in pic #1 has the most likely chance of being supportive, *if* you add a halter strap or straps of some kind. 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.

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.

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.

I can't imagine why the following types of straps couldn't be added to any of the suits you linked to:

halter style:

straps attached to suit:

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.

Yes, a hassle - but if you love these prints, I bet it can be done relatively easily.
