Regina37 Posted March 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am looking for a swimsuit for our upcoming cruise in July! I can find all kinds of plus size suits that I love, but my problem is I can't find one with really, really good support up top!!! Do any of you know of a swimsuit with a built in, honest to goodness bra in it? I need help desperately. These things aren't cheap, so I know I won't get out cheap, but I really don't care 'IF IT HOLDS ME UP"!!!:):):) Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweety33 Posted March 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Good luck, I've looked my whole life, I don't think they exist. They say built is bra, but are nothing more than useless. Heavensake I can't even find a regular bra that his true support and holds em up. Underwires are nothing more than torture devices. I'll be curious if anyone can find a solution for you (& me).

BroadwayGirl Posted March 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I had the same problem. The one I just got from lands end (all over control colorblock slender suit). It looks like a tankini but it's not. It was the most supportive of the few I ordered. It criss crosses in the back It's got actual cups in the suit to support. Stay away from the "grecian slender suit" from them....not much support at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival Game Posted March 10, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Why are swimsuits so expensive for the little bit of material they contain? It makes me mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndmom Posted March 10, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I don't have a big bust, so I don't have any experience to offer, but I did see some really nice plus size suits on the Land's End website yesterday, and they advertise many of them as super-supportive. I am average rather than plus-size, but I have no waist whatsoever, and my Miraclesuit makes me look positively skinny and hourglass-y. Nothing jiggles anywhere, and the suit is really comfy. I definitely second the recommendation for Miraclesuits. I LOVE mine. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KKB Posted March 11, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 11, 2008 My size 14 bod after 3 C-sections feels sexy in these babies! And I am a 34 DDD... NOT every style. I have 2 maillots that I love, buy every year in black & brown. I try to get them at the end of the season as they are about $125 each, but worth it! I did pick one up on ebay new last fall. The 2 I like have about 1" straps, criss cross my tummy for great support (for both chest & tummy). They do cut a bit low...I like to show off my best assets! I do normally wear smooth cup underwire bras w/ a plunge. Your key is thick enough straps and cups (no shelf bras!), and good tight spandex to hold everything where it was meant to be! (at least until I can afford a tummy tuck!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henepup Posted March 11, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have purchased two suits from www.alwaysforme.com This one doesn't have the best boob support but is okay for my DD. My DH likes this one, and you can adjust the boob area.This is the best suit that I have ever purchased!! It has the best support all over, the straps can be criss-crossed for more supports!! The website has several nice suits, they are a little pricey, but the quality is outstanding!!! Good luck Shopping!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8thlivewire Posted March 12, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2008 :) I love It Figures brand. I have found them on Ebay (new) and at Boscov's - I've also seen them on QVC. They have different styles, but I prefer the Skirtini style - it's like a Tankini. Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweety33 Posted March 13, 2008 #19 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Many of them listed in plus size, stop just short of my size. I did order one from the shore-fit site that someone listed. I hope it is a keeper.Thank you for all the sites to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
