Finding glamorous swimwear to fit has often been difficult for women whose size is larger than a D cup. Thanks to shopping online there is now a much greater choice.
Instead of being faced with a narrow range of products in the high street and having to ask yourself, “what can I find in my size?” there are numerous swimwear stockists on the internet, who now cater for the more well-endowed, although it has to be said there is more choice at a DD than a J or K!
In the minefield of swimsuit shopping, there are 2 basic problems for women with big busts:
- Wearing the wrong swimsuit either by accident or design. i.e. trying to squeeze yourself into a swimsuit that simply does not fit, or unwittingly buying the wrong size. According to online experts, Bravissimo, 60% of women wearing a C cup should actually be wearing at least a D. Leading retailer Marks and Spencer’s says a quarter of its bras sold are now a D cup, a number that has doubled in the last 3 years. In response to customer demand, since November 2007 its stores now stock bras up to a J cup.
- Finding a swimsuit to fit if you are not proportionate in body shape, i.e. bigger in the bust than (proportionately) on the waist, bottom and hips. If a woman has big breasts but a small bottom half then this makes finding a one-piece that fits extremely difficult. Not only is there a greater choice in swimwear in a larger cup size but there is also a choice of mix and match tankinis and bikinis, which solve bolth problems. By buying a separate top and bottom in different sizes, you can also choose from a number of styles in the same range, and find one that best suits your figure. Online swimwear retailer Figleaves is one such example, where individual styles may have several tops and and different types of bottoms, from string-tie bikinis to belted briefs to boy shorts. All online swimwear retailers have a relevant sizing chart, and most have advice on how to measure yourself to find you true size.
