bathing suits

Can you ladies give me some advice on tips for bathing suit shopping? I just received my order from figleaves for a Cleo Swimwear Lucille (CW0063) but I think its too big in the band and wouldn't give any support in the water once wet. I guess I am asking for tips on finding a good top when you need lots of support.

  • If you need support I'd stay away from the bandeau styles, even with removable straps. Even though they make them in large cup sizes, they're not a good choice if you plan on doing anything even moderately active or getting in the water.

  • Well I'm just testing Freya Swim Madame Butterfly Deep Plunge Bikini Top (3492) and Freya Swim Pier Deep Plunge Bikini Top (3026) in 30HH and let me tell you -
    Even though they are not really a deep plunge as marketed,
    I am supported enough to play beach volleyball in them o.O
    And Pier in Iris is just so darn cute!

    I also have a Pier halter-neck in 34G that I altered and it's my favorite bikini of all time. If there wasn't so much strain on my neck in that one, I could probably play ball in it too.
    So yeah, what I'm saying is - Freya!
