swimwear for the 'larger on top' lady :-)

Hi, I last travelled to orlando in 2011 & wonder if anyone could advise of a store that would sell swimwear that accommodates having a large boob area lol. Hoping it will be cheaper to buy them over there than in
Bellissima over here
Thanks in advance

I found swimwear surprisingly expensive in Orlando - so now always buy before I go. Some department stores or Walmart might have cheaper but I found it difficult to find. Or maybe I was just looking in the wrong places :-)

we've not been able to find decently priced swimwear over there. Would def recommend buying from here from Bravissimo or Figleaves (have a hunt for discount vouchers).

Bravissimo over here for me... and sometimes find what I think may be slightly seconds on eBay (I just search in my size and 'swimwear'). - usually about half the price! Never been able to find anything in my size in US 🙈

Amazon! Absolute life saver - I'm of the big up front, tiny in the back variety so it's bravissimo all the way for me. Amazon saves me money though, I keep an eye out and pick up bits and pieces throughout the year as sometimes it's £40, other times it's £15 - if you don't mind last season's styles. One of the sellers that I've used (not deliberately, just who happens to supply on Amazon) is Lingerie Outlet Store so they're really quite trustworthy. Super speedy delivery too.

Managed to get the Panache tango bra (normally £27) for £12 last week.

Edit - check out Tutti Rouge if you also want something prettier than the usual stuff we are left to filter through, just as another brand, sometimes they have pretty good sales too.

I always buy my swimwear in Orlando as they have so much more choice and much better styles. I like tankinis with a hidden inbuilt bra in the top. Have always managed to get just what I want from Dillard's at Florida Mall as they have the tankini tops in cup size. They have so many varied colours to choose from too - I haven't bought swimwear from England for a few years as it just doesn't compare to what I can get over there.

I have been lucky that we visit the last 2 weeks in August and they have had their swimwear on offer - have managed to get a 60% discount for the last couple of years.

I've not really looked over there but I always buy Freya bikinis here, I have to buy separates as I'm small with big boobs, I'm size 8/10 but have 34 f bust, they are fantastic, the bikini tops are like a really good bra, I wear them under vests & dresses on holiday, they do tankinis & swimsuits too, not cheap but I buy a lot from lingerie sellers on eBay quite cheap, belle lingerie being one, it's last years stock they sell off cheap, all brand new of course with tags on
I bought a swim dress type thing to wear at the waterparks years ago from littlewoods online , it's their own brand "Resort" it's done me well for years it's a bit padded for my liking but it's quite cute blue & white polka dot & really comfortable

I have the same issue
For the water parks I now wear board shorts, a bikini top and rash vest.
Means I can get a decent supporting underwired bra effectively. And you can usually just buy the top.

Debenhams do the separates in larger cup sizes as does M & S and Next but for me personally Debenhams always seems to be the best fit
