Where do you get your swim suits?

I have 2 that I bought last summer, but I really don't care for either of them. I got one from alwaysforme.com, it was a whopping $90. I was hoping I would love it. But I don't- there is no support for my gals. I am a DD, so I really need good support. Everywhere I'm looking online I can't seem find a good tankini with an underwire in plus size. I have also had 2 c-sections so I have a bit of a tummy that needs to be hidden :)

So What Happened?

Lands End was the first place I looked and where I would love to get one but I can't find a tankini top that is lined with an underwire in my size, maybe I'm just overlooking it though?

I bought one last week at Lane Bryant. It wasnt cheap but I think its the most flattering suit I have ever had ( and trust me I have a lot to cover!) I like the Tankini style too, and even with my c-section flab the ones there are pretty decent in coverage. And the support in the tops are not too shabby either ( I have ddd's) Good luck! I know its a pain to find a swimsuit when you are bigger than a size 14 that doesnt leave everything hanging out and looking worse than it is.

Try to find a suit in a halter top (one that ties around the neck). THey hold the girls up a lot better.

Also, tops with rouching and chris crossed backs are good too.

I bought one on Friday at Lane Bryant and it really looks good on my chubby figure. It was over $100, but well worth it for me to feel comfortable at the pool with my kids!

OMG, I have this same problem. I paid over $100 for my swimsuit, I'm also a DD, and I have NO support. So, when I go to the pool, I wear a bra under it and it works beautifully!

I don't remember the brand, but when I was suit shopping last year at Dillards, they had tops by bra size. Maybe that is something you should look into

Try Lands' End. I'm a DDDD and their swim tops even work for me. Lands' End has a huge swimsuit sale on right now.

Swimsuitsforall.com is the place I go and get my tankinis. Great place and sometimes there are coupon codes on retailmenot for that site. Good luck.

I found mine at JCPenneys and was really happy with it. Mine has a panel for tummy support and I am also a DD and it has great support, I am not sure what brand it is...I bought mine when they went on sale at the end of the season...they just are something that are on the expensive side. I think on sale I paid around $30...

Yes - Lands End! Keep looking and you should be able to find something to fit both your top and your bottom.
