Summer is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start thinking about swimwear. For a fuller bust, finding the right swimwear can be a real challenge. Not only do you want something that is comfortable and flattering, but you also want a suit that provides the necessary support. We’ve put together all of our top tips for finding your perfect swimsuit or bikini.
Finding A Comfortable & Flattering Fit
Finding swimwear that fits well is essential for a comfortable and confident day at the beach or pool. No one wants to constantly adjust their swimsuit or feel self-conscious about their appearance. This is especially true for those with a fuller bust, who need the right level of support to avoid discomfort and potential wardrobe malfunctions.
Measure Yourself
Of course, it's essential to know your correct bra size. Swimwear is sized differently than regular clothing, and you may need to go up or down a size depending on the style, cup shape and brand. To measure yourself for swimwear, follow these steps:
- Wear a non-padded bra that fits well.
- Use a soft measuring tape to measure around the fullest part of your bust.
- Measure around your rib cage just below your bust.
- Use these measurements to determine your correct bra size.

Tips For Accurate Measuring Of Fuller Bust Swimwear
- Measure yourself while standing up straight with your arms at your sides
- Have someone else help you to ensure accurate measurements
- Measure yourself every six months, as weight fluctuations can affect your size

This one shoulder, underwired statement swimsuit is perfect for feeling confident and beautiful by the pool or on the beach. With extra support from the build in cups, adjustable straps and inner mesh construction for the perfect fit, the only thing left to do is decide; pink or white? or both?! Definitely both.
Pay Attention To Straps On Swimwear
For the best support, fuller bust swimwear typically features stronger straps, providing the necessary support without digging into the skin on your shoulders and back. There are plenty of options when it comes to getting the support you need.

A bikini with a crop top style bralette is a great option, as it provides lots of coverage on your chest, wide and adjustable straps without looking bulky and a secure band clasped on the back. With built in underwire, unpadded cups and inner balconette mesh.
Check The Underwire
Many of our swimwear pieces feature underwire support. This means your swimsuit will provide the necessary lift and support, for you to not only feel comfortable but also secure.
When trying on your new swimwear with underwire, make sure the wire sits comfortably under your bust and doesn't dig into your skin.

Consider The Swimsuit Style
Different swimwear styles fit differently. We all have parts of our body that we want to enhance and other areas we’d rather not, that's why it’s important to find a style which ticks all of your boxes.

-
Halter tops provide additional lift and support

Bandeau tops may not offer enough support for larger busts and may cause
-
One-piece swimsuits with built-in bras or moulded cups can provide ample support and more coverage
