female only Swimwear

[higher 966]

Hi ladies,

None of my swimsuits fit properly anymore - my main issue is that most of them are low cut in the front and too big in the breast area now which is...unattractive.

Do you guys have any recommendations for swimwear brands for larger breasted women? I like them to be sexy one pieces - but for that to work I need a lot of support. Ideally it would cinch my waist in as well to show off my curves. My thighs and butt look great but I really need help on top.

Summer is almost over here in NYC but I need at least one new suit for the rest of the beach/pool days and on top of that I definitely have at least one fall trip to a tropical locale where I'll need a minimum of 3 suits.

I really love Malia Mills swimwear and that's the standard for me but they are too expensive to buy one until I'm in maintenance or close to goal.

Help!!

@@higher I would look at Lane Bryant. They should have some on sale at this time of year. Sometimes you can get 2 separate pieces so you'd be able to have different sizes on top and bottom (if necessary). I also got some nice bathing suits on clearance at Target this year (not sure if they still have any). I do much better with the tankini style because I'm bigger on top than on bottom. Plus - it's much easier to pee!

Now that I can buy off the rack, I have gotten some suits at Target. I wear 2 piece tankinis, etc. because my bottom is bigger than my top.

Before this summer, I got a lot of my suits from Woman Within. They have a pretty broad selection.

Before I got too big for them, many years ago when I could wear a one piece. I loved Lands End suits.

I got 2 swimsuits at the beginning of this season for $70.00 at swimsuits for all. They have from size 8 to 34 all styles and they even have great cover ups. I have lost so much weight over the summer I just sewed my suits in.The pants were too big. The bra bands were too loose and the straps had to be taken up as they kept slipping off my shoulders. Next year I will have to buy new ones and will go back to swimsuits for all. Good luck, hope you find something you like.

Avenue is having a 50% sale (including clearance) just checked the site and it looks like all swim suits are $25.00 hope this helps. Ps. Sale ends tomorrow!!!

@@higher I'm a fan of Miraclesuit swimwear, their suits have enough power mesh to hold all the jiggly bits firmly, pull your waist in and keep your breasts up where they belong. They're generally under $200, so less than half of what you'd pay for Malia Mills.

ah thank you! i totally forgot about Miraclesuit, those will totally do the trick. And frankly, they may last me through more than a couple of sizes. I looked at swimsuits for all and most of those suits were too full coverage - i want to show a lot more skin than that!

I have made the mistake of buying the wrong suit twice now! Ugh!

If you actually use your suit to go into the Water all your jiggly bits float to the top once you lose your weight and have a lot of loose skin.

I found this out the hard way about 2 months ago when I went to the pool for some excercise and the girls kept popping out the top of my suit.

Before I knew it, I was literally being hit on by every old guy in the pool.

Dirty dogs had me backed into a corner.

So now I am looking for a suit that will not allow the girls free at all and no tankinis for me because they lift up in the Water.< /p>

I want a one piece that has a little skirt because I have a lot of loose skin and loose butt. I need something that will hide these features at least a little.

LOL, oh the issues we have whether we are fat or now thin and jiggly....LOL

Zulilly often has suits. I don't know if they have any now or not. Let me know if you need a referral code.

@@jenn1 thanks! the fig leaves one is worth trying I think!

So far I ordered these, but I'm skeptical as most of the straps are sooo thick and the backs come so high. But I guess that's the only choice when you are trying to squish in the loose parts:

I really loved the color and style of these two but they only have size 24. Size 24 ladies check them out!! They're beautiful.

[laceemouse 631]

I have always loved Lands End suits, modest but not frumpy, good support. You can get under wire or bra like tops, separate bottoms. I like the skirt bottoms because my thighs are yucky. Look now, the will have clearance sales. You can make returns at Sears, easy.
