Bathing Suit HELP!!!
Hey everyone!! I'm in dire need of help with finding a bathing suit that works with my new body!! I had RNY almost 14 months ago, and have lost 175lbs, which should make buying clothes a LOT more easier, and for the most part it is a lot easier. Until I went to buy a bathing suit. I am down to a size 12 for bottoms, but my top, not so much. All the smaller sizes come with smaller tops. Tried tankini's and all of them were halter, and not working well with what I have. I went from a size 46 JJ on top, to a size 36 H. Wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on where to find a bathing suit that would fit. I tried looking online, but gave up after not being able to find what I was looking for... Thanks again for any suggestions!!
I have similar problems with bathing suits. I went from a 44DDD to a 34D on top and from a 26 on the bottom to a size 6. I found a couple tankini's that fit kind of okay but not super wonderful to wear to a waterpark or anything. I found alot of my stuff on ebay. My suggestion to you would be to try and get a one piece and have it altered. Being 36H is going to make things real difficult to try and buy anything off the rack. Wish I had better advise. I'm 3 years post op. My problem is finding something small enough around to fit my chest with a large enough cup to hold all the excess skin and keep it from falling out everytime you move. A couple one piece suits I have squash my top down so they look like pancakes but I would trust them more at the waterparks and such to keep things in the swimsuit than some of the tankinis I have.
I have the opposite prob. Small on the top but large panni makes bottoms a bigger size. So I found what I needed at Target. All separates that can be tried on. Plus, not too spendy.
My top looks like a tank top but tight and with a little bra thing inside to hold up my ****er spaniel ears.
Bottom is boy-short style. Black.

Torrid.com is designed pretty much for plussized girls, i shop there alot. But their swim tops and one pieces come in a variety of sizes, you could probably find somthing there. i know their 0 is equivelent to i think a 14 regular womans.
also, target has a pretty wide selection. and sell tops and bottoms seperatley so you can get a better fit.

Lands End is a terrific place for swimsuits.
One of my favorite sites when I wore a very large bra was www.biggerbras.com . They have swimwear too.
