    Ok, so I'm going on a week's holiday at the start of February.. I own no swimwear, cos I've never been on a beach holiday before!

    I want to get a bikini/monokini/swimsuit that doesn't cover me up too much but isn't trashy looking. Difficult for me because I'm a size 6 but bust wise - I'm an E cup.

    Penneys/Dunnes stuff doesn't fit me, barely covers me on top and if I go bigger, it's just uncomfortable.

    I'm not in the market to spend much money, and one set/item will do me for the holiday... does anyone have any ideas where to get something that will have bra sizes, not cost a lot and at this time of year?

    Thanks in advance :rolleyes:

    Specially sized bikinis are usually really expensive. Have a look at the Bravissimo sale, you might find something you like here http://www.bravissimo.com/products/sale/all/#/1?category=swimwear&show=16&sort=1

    You could also try ebay as sometimes some english retailers sell on ebay stores on this site. Another option is to try La senza but they generally cost around €50. Almost impossible to find big cup sized swimwear at a cheap price as cost to retailers is quite high and they need to make their money back. I have researched this myself so know the score. I am a size 30FF myself and have the same problem as does my sister and best friend. Is there anyone else on this site with a similar problem?

    Also you could try debenhams website as I once bought a bikini in sale before xmass for about half the normal price Freya usually €60/€70 but I managed to get it for €35. Hope this helps!!

    You could check out Asos too, they have a lot of swimwear and you can choose different sizes for tops and bottoms etc.

    Asos have Freya swim I'm almost certain, which should be in the sale.

    Figleaves have a few bits in the sale, there's a few there depending on your back size
    I have this one, it's really nice (paid more that than tho)

    ETA - I got two bikinis from figleaves, both their own brand, 30F, very comfy and well priced in the sale. Definitely worth keeping an eye on!
