Affordable swimwear for larger cup size?

ChloeElla

Hi,
I'm looking for swimwear that has a large cup size, with smaller bottoms but doesn't break the bank & is still pretty. I'm only 18 but am 34FF, but size 10-12 on bottom, so find it really hard to buy bikinis or anything on the high-street that will fit me, but I'm on a budget! Any suggestions?

I'm a 30F on a good day, which is a nightmare BUT have surprisingly found that Tesco F+F range fit me! The wired ones,of course, but the smallest size they do is 32DD..if you can't afford a well fitted one from Fig Leaves, La Senza, Debehams (sometimes they stock), you will have a battle on your hands but like me it was pure luck to find the tesco one...

Bottoms were from size 8-20.

Figleaves had some nice ones from their own brand on sale, I got a plain black one for £14 + delivery.

Thanks! I don't mind paying around €30-€40 for a decent fitting one if it'll support me properly, I'm just very conscious of not hanging out of a skimpy bikini! I'll check some of them out

Try Bravissimo! They have some lovely stuff on there, and all suitable for us well endowed ladies Have a nose around their sale section too, sometimes you can pick up a great baragin in there!

Have a look on ebay too for some of the Bravissimo brands, there are sellers who have underwear shops on there - think it was another poster here that tipped me off to that!

@terlywerly, for some reason Bravissimo never crossed my mind! I always just associate it with underwear, but you're right, they have lovely ones!

@Cutie18Ireland, I love Littlewood's style of bikinis but unfortunately I find them a bit hit & miss in sizing! Maybe it's just me, because my cousin never has this problem, but she can get away without trying things on, I can't

@LadyMayBelle, I was a bit wary about buying online due to sizes, but the shops I've been in that do offer good support are crazy prices - Like €40 for a top, then extra for the bottoms, I just wouldn't pay it! :P

Thanks E.T., I'll have a look around Ebay!

I'd be the same, size six on bottom and size 30D/DD on top, absolute nightmare. I got two really nice underwired ones in La Senza recently, their balconette style supports the chest particularly well, and most of their bikinis are mix and match so you can pick smaller sizes for the bottoms! I know you're on a budget, but most of them are between 30 and forty euro; a bit more thought if you buy bottoms aswell, but I usually cheap out here and buy different bottoms of the same colour in Penneys or something.. ;-)
