The Best Swimwear and Bikinis for Bigger Busts

Finding the best swimwear for big busts can be tricky, particularly a fuller-bust bikini that ticks the style boxes and boosts your confidence. Everyone wants to feel their best on the beach or lounging by the pool.

Before you take a dip, look for swimwear that offers support and distributes weight evenly across your neck, back and shoulders. Swimwear in cup sizes can be helpful for achieving a snug fit and additional underwire or boning provides extra lift. Keep an eye out for thick straps to avoid digging into your skin and supportive backs with multiple hook-and-eye closures.

So, all you need to do now is pick your holiday destination.

A swimsuit offers the most support for full busts while also ensuring a little extra coverage. Our curve-hugging plunge swimsuit lifts and separates with structured wired cups available in D-GG and removable padding.

The built-in tummy control panels have a smoothing effect and provide gentle control. Plus, chlorine-resistant fabric will keep it looking fresh all summer long.

A playful two-piece bikini creates an hourglass silhouette and balances a fuller bust. This bikini top for fuller busts features a deep, plunging neckline that prevents spillage thanks to the supportive underwiring. The soft padding sculpts and lifts and the twist-front detailing on the front gives a final flourish.

Pair with coordinating high-leg bikini bottoms in a bold print or high-waisted bikini bottoms with smoothing tummy control.

When looking for swimwear for bigger busts, treat your swimsuit as you would your bra. Finding the right size and fit can be tricky but you can use the same principles as shopping for bras for large busts. See how to measure your bra size to find the right band and cup combination or pop into store for a complimentary bra fitting.

Available up to an E cup, this wired swimsuit is designed in a sculpting balconette shape with a delicate scalloped trim along the neckline. Choose from vivid blood orange, bold bubble gum pink or chic black.

A tankini is a happy medium between the coverage of a swimsuit and the silhouette of a bikini. Look for tankinis with secure straps or a halter top – a strapless bandeau may not provide enough support.

Our monochrome tankini top in ditsy polka dot print comes with removable padding and extra stretch for comfortable shaping. Team with matching high-waisted bottoms for a retro-inspired look.
