NWR: Swimsuit help?

Hi everyone. I've recently started looking for a new bathing suit. I live in a pretty warm area and the beach trips will begin in a few months. I have outgrown my last swimsuit and I need a new one but as usual, I am having trouble. I need a suit with underwire for support and that is oddly difficult to find. I have tried Victoria's Secret. Land's End and am thinking about trying one from Lane Byrant. Anyone have any other suggestions about where I should go?

    Go try Lane Bryant.  Those have been the only ones that I found that fit me perfectly. I currently have 3 from there.  Even their one piece suits have underwire and a lot have built in bras.
    I'm not good at feelings.

    If you're over a D cup, try Bravissimo.com. I have a couple swimsuits from there and I love them. :) It's an English company but they do international shipping and have a great returns policy.

    ETA: I'm a dress size 18, and I can usually get away with M-L in briefs with them and I believe some styles go to XL. I wear the tankini's, and buying one for my cup size, fit me round the body fine too.

    Lane Bryant. And torrid has some with underwire at least in the past it has. All have shelf bras I do know.

    If you have an Avenue by you, try there. They usually have some cute suits.

    I LOVE my lane Bryant swimsuit. some of theirs are sized by your bra size, and come with underwire and slight padding. I'm a DDD, and this is the only swim suit I have ever felt comfortable in.

    I don't know what Fashion Bug has to offer this year, but you might want to check out their website. My mom usually has good luck there.  I don't know if it is a nation wide store though, so you might have to order online if you find something you like.


    Good luck!
