Swimwear Issues

Hi all,

I am looking for bikinis for my holiday next month, and being, as they say, of fuller bust (E/F cup) i am finding it very difficult.

Everywhere that says they cater for this problem (In my eyes its a problem not a blessing!) charges extortionate prices for their items.

So If anyone has any suggestions for where I can shop. My added problem is I need to be able to buy separates as I only need a 10 on the bottom.
*sigh*

    Have you tried
    http://www.freyalingerie.com/swim.aspx

    They do all sizes and you can buy the bottoms separately. :)

    M&S, Asda and Tesco do E and F cups. It is a pretty common size!

    I know its a common size, it just upsets me stuff always looks ugly or its 3 times the price of the same style 2 sizes smaller. :/

    Didnt think to check the supermarkets though! Definately be giving tesco and Asda a go. Already went to M&S and I just dont like any of the styles!

    Try being a K cup.

    E/F is a doddle in comparison.

  • Bravissimo do some lovely ones, although the prices can indeed be eye-watering. Here is a link to their swimwear sale.
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    My friend had the same problem. In the end she ended paying a lot of money for one from figleaves.

    I use them quite a lot - they're excellent with a very good range of styles.

    Best wishes. x

    I really wanted 2 or 3- at £30 pounds just for a top makes me want to cry! :(

    BHS do a good range, i'm a DD but had more luck buying a bikini top in clothing size not cup size. The cup size ones from Debenhams were awful but BHS fitted a treat and were very comfy. Underwired, pretty colours and looks just like a bra really, a more skimpy one than I am used to which is great!
