[nwr] Bikini recommendations.

JennyColada

So I'm reasonably curvy up top (32DDD) and it's really tough for me to find bikini tops that fit me (Smalls will fit around my ribs, but my boobs will even be spilling out over Larges). So really I need a bikini that comes in bra sizes, and even VS isn't doing it for me this season (they don't cary 32DDD in bikinis, and I'm just BARELY held into the 34DD).

Do any other large-top women have any recommendations for bikinis?

I'm a 32G; I bought my bikini /tankini at Intimacy. They only have like 5 stores in the country but you can also shop online. Another place you can find them is Linda the Bra Lady- also with an online store. They sell some of the same brands actually.

I just ordered a bikini bra top from elomi (you can wear it as a bikini top or put it under any swimsuit so that you actually have some support), but they don't come in that small of a band.  I take it your 32DDD is in American sizing, which would make you a 32F in UK sizing, I believe, or E, depending on the brand, probably best to check a sizing chart for the particular brand or bikini.  If you find something you like, you could try checking it out on Bratabase.com to see reviews and try to tell if it will fit.  Anywho, some suggestions (I have not tried these myself, though):

Have you tried ASOS? I have been looking for a longline bikini and the only ones I found that I liked were on there... like 4 cup sizes too big for me. *sad trombone*

I have the opposite issue (wide ribcage and small boobs) but I had a swimsuit custom made by an Etsy seller and it turned out great. So if you know a style that works well for you, it might be worth taking a look on Etsy to see if you can get one made to your measurements.

ETA: Or if you find a swimsuit that fits well in the bust, you might be able to have the band altered to fit.

Victoria's Secret has great bikini tops that are sold in bra sizes. No idea if they get that large, but I have had great luck there.
