I like Lands End since I can get separate pieces to look like a one piece. I like the tank top styles, no bikinis for M..

There are some swimsuit stores which carry tankini-type tops with bra sizing for the cup. You can do an internet search-- yes, they can be expensive ($80 for the top alone) but they are worth it. I ended up finding a large-enough sized tankini top on clearance and spent more (about $50, on sale) for a swim skirt bottoms.

I got mine at Torrid and I love it. I wear a 38g. They sell separates that still fully cover you so you can get the coverage and fit you want. They are a little pricey (around $100 for two pieces) but they often have sales and discounts.

I bought my top at Torrid. I'm a 36 G/H so more than a little big. I bought my bottoms at Target. I have a tankini style suit so I can mix and match the pieces. It was on the more expensive side but it was so worth it to have a suit that fit, covered and supported my breasts so I could swim with my kids and enjoy myself. There are some other companies that make tops for the larger breasted women of the world. You're going to pay for a good suit sadly.

I'm a 32DDDD and have had good luck with Lands' End. I'm not overweight, so it's tough to find something supportive in regular sizes. I got a tankini from them with thick straps and a U shape in the front where I don't spill out. Watch for their sales, because you can get great deals.

welcome back :)

I am currently DD while pregnant. I was J. going to suggest a simple tank style. I tried the halter type thinking that would hold the girls up better (and show them off too), it J. pulled down my neck/back even more. not exactly what you're asking but J. my .02.

I usually get a cheapo pair of bottoms and spend a little more on the top, they're better quality and last longer - and the bottoms all look alike to M. (I love the swim tank style with mix and match pieces). Lane Bryant, or swimsuitsforall.com have good ones.

Hi J. M,
I've not seen you in a while! Hope all is well.

I am a 34DD+ and I buy my suits at Nothing But Water, Everything But Water stores at the mall.

I like these stores because you can purchase pieces separately. I am a size 2 petite with big boobs (not fake) so I can buy a larger top and still find a bottom to match. I've personally found that I like the halter styles better because I can adjust them easier.

I've not been there but I hear Lane Bryant has decent bras and suit tops.

Good luck!

(bought that one at a sports store)

I go to swimsuits for all and buy separates. You might want to simply do a sports bra and then put a top over it with regular bottoms the same color or coordinating to the bra top. That way it looks like a swim suit but covered.
