Plus size bathing suits

Anyone have any good recommendations on where to buy or what designers have good styles? I am a 16/18, DD cup so most of my weight is on top.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Plus size bathing suits

That is exactly my point...it is SO hard to find a great suit...and I figure if I take good care of it, it will last me a few seasons. It was really a great purchase! I hope this helps!

Yes, Landsend does have great plus sized bathing suits. I've bought form them before and Liked the selection.
They also rate the suits based on body shape and 'problem areas'

Re: Plus size bathing suits

check out www.aerinrose.com.

I actually know the owner (knew her in college but ran into her again in a nail salon a few months ago). She told me about this company that she started specifically for large- chested ladies who want beautiful bathing suits. She said that most 'larger sized' bathing suits are not made for larger chests- they are just large versions of smaller bathing suits. So, they don't hold us up as well as we should be held. She apparantly had the same problem so she desinged bathing suits that did just that. The matierial is supposed to be stronger and more supportive for heavy chests. They carry large sizes which is unbelievable! Her suits are in a bunch of stores- they are listed on the website but you can also buy them on line. They aren't too pricey for what they are- I'd spend anything on a bathing suit that fits well!

I think they are amazing and am getting 2 for my honeymoon.
