Oh my goodness, when I first saw this swimsuit, I thought for sure it would fit; nope! I can't get my butt into it (not that I tried that hard) but when I knew it wasn't going to fit, I just stopped trying : (
My quest for the perfect bust-friendly swimsuit continues : )
It's too bad b/c I LOVE this colour purple, 10/10.
I think I will mark one down in quality b/c - although the fabric is lovely and soft, it's a little thin, surprisingly. Ideally I would like a bit of a thicker fabric for a swimsuit like this.

Because I didn't try it on all the way, I'm not sure how the fit is. the underwires seem quite significant (they're made out of plastic though) but I'm not sure how they would feel.
Lovely construction though, it is lined in the front. which is essential in my book. not lined in the back.

  Oh no, I'm sorry it didn't fit! I love the color. Was there a size for the bottom half or just the cups?

  WildWolff , just the cups. I feel like it's made for a medium person. but it just seems kind of tight and small, I didn't even put in on all way, as I didn't want to damage it.

  It's so hard to match both bust measurements and hips.

  I might try this Polish brand, Gwinner, and see if their swimsuits work for me - I don't need anything that impressive, I just need something bust-friendly that I can swim laps in. https://othereden.co.uk/cat-eng-1214553999-Women-Swimwear-Monokinis.html I think if I order through the above company I can return it if it doesn't fit.

  I know most European women wear bikinis.

  WildWolff , I think in the U.S., you guys have more options (I was looking on your amazon) but I don't think we have the same options, as far as swimwear on amazon.
  Because I was looking on your amazon, you guys had a ton of swimsuits, that I thought some seemed "bust friendly" or various qualities, I'm sure.

  BraOdyssey I'm sure there are more options in the US but it's very hit or miss in my experience. I've tried several that fit well in the cups but the bottom half looked like an overstuffed sausage lol or there was too much fabric at the bottom. And I'm short, so it's hard to find one piece swimsuits that are bust friendly, petite, and fit well in the bottom half. Even growing up in Hawaii I found that the options were way too limited and you can get a swimsuit in a gas station there lol

  BraOdyssey I'm not sure what availability is like for you, but if you're looking for a one piece for swimming laps and not necessarily for cleavage or aesthetic, you could try Speedo brand. I found a purple one piece on clearance at Costco this summer and I decided to go for it since it was only $4 and the Medium works well. No underwire support, but it keeps everything close to the body/out of the way and worked well for swimming laps.

  WildWolff , interesting...thank u. That's something to consider!

  Wow, $4 at Costco?! Such a steal!

  BraOdyssey I am a Costco regular lol I've gone once a week for so long now I know when to expect clothes to go on clearance so they can make room for the next season's items. If only they sold more bras!

  WildWolff , thank u so much! I don't know if you saw this thread on reddit yesterday re: swimming suits, but Speedo was highly recommended. I also like the brand Speedo, it's quality and at least the front is always lined all the way.
  That being said, I might have to go with Land's End, it's so much cheaper. https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/r9lvv4/any_lap_swimmers_on_here_looking_for_size/

  BraOdyssey I did see the thread, I thought it was your post at first actually lol I do like Speedo, I didn't know Land's End made swimwear!
