Bikini Help for Bigger Bust?!

Hi everyone,

Needing a little help with bikini shopping. Booked a holiday for the end of summer and need to get some bikinis. Find it so traumatic looking for something that fits. Although I take a size 8/10 clothing, none of the regular sized bikinis fit. I have to take cup sizes. My bra size seems to change dependent on shop, however I'm roughly somewhere between a 32 DD or E, with size 8/10 in bottoms.

My issue being that no shops stock higher cup sizes in bikinis, so I'm having to order online. 32 DD is too small, 32 E too big! Next do a range of bikinis which are 32DD/E and fit me perfectly. Anyone know anywhere else which stocks this size. Alternatively anyone that wears this size, where do you buy bikinis?! And for reasonable prices?

Thanks so much for the help, any is appreciated. :T

    I have exactly the same problem, so frustrating! Try Bravissimo they have a swimwear range or they've got some nice ones on figleaves, I'm gonna get mine from there. Hope that helps.

    New Look's Kelly Brook range is reasonably priced and has larger cup sizes. They don't do a DD/E but it might be worth ordering one of each or just popping in to the shops and seeing if they fit? As every shop has slightly different sizing.

    Hiya, I have the same problem but got 2 lovely bikinis in Tesco of all places! The top was from their range for bigger boobed ladies :) I think it might be called 'fuller bust' range or similar. The bottoms are from their normal range but the 2 items match. The top has slightly broader straps & a bit more 'scaffolding' :rotfl: however, style is not comprised & the bikini looks great. Even better, because I feel secure, I feel good wearing it!
    I hope you find something nice for your hols. Enjoy !

    Asda and Matalan both do larger cups and sell as separates. I thought M&S did too?

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Silly as it sounds, after looking all over, I got mine from Primark last year!

    I bought the top and bottoms seperate, so I could adjust the size :)
