Can we talk bikini tops?

Passanie

Does a bikini top that's built like a bra, say with an underwire, exist?

I keep seeing push-up tops with those little removable padding things at Target and Victoria's Secret. I don't need padding, I just want something that's built like a bra, with a little bit of support. Does this exist?

Yes, I have one like that. I got it at T.J. Maxx. That was a long time ago though (like 10 yrs ago).

Here's one: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tommy-bahama-swim-underwire-halter-bikini-top/2956750?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=tommy_bahama_swim_underwire_halter_bikini_top:207541&cm_pla=swimwear:women:swim_top&cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&mr:adType=pla&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=D586306E-1968-DF11-9DA0-002219319097&origin=pla

I thought that's what Victoria's Secret made. I, myself, prefer a tankini style top, since it hides a multitude of sins!

Yes it does exist. I think a few weeks (or months?) ago, someone posted links to bikini tops like that. I want to say it was PKW? I didn't bookmark it myself...

Some of the tops at VS have padding you can take out. Or I end up taking it out myself. Maybe try Macys too or H&M .Good Luck.

I'm pretty sure this is the site PKW has referenced before: http://www.bellaforma.com.au/shop/home.php

 

Victoria's secret is probably your best bet. The have quite a few underwire/bra type tops:

Yes, they do. I buy mine at Macys (either in store or online). If you search online, you select "bar sizing" within their top options and they will show up.

All my VS bikini tops are underwire. I love them and won't wear anything non-underwire. They have a few different styles at VS but are kinda hit or miss on fit for me. I literally ordered almost every underwire top on the website to try lol. The full-coverage halter worked out the best. The others I would have needed to order in a size up maybe. I take out the padding either way.

We are friends on FB and I have a few pics of myself in the above top if you look there.

Thanks ladies. Apparently I wasn't looking in the right place on the VS site.

And winterorchids, I remember your pics (how could I forget? ) I liked those suits. Maybe I'll look into them.

I suppose ones that don't tie right behind the neck are going to be hard to find, huh? By the time I get it tight enough to feel secure in front, it always feels too tight on the back of my heck.

You mean a halter top? You can find ones that aren't halter style.

This is the site I have referenced on many occassions but they are for women who wear sizes D-L cup sizes.  They do not sell anything for smaller sizes; sorry to anyone who was interested and is a smaller size.

They do have FAST shipping, I got my latest suit from them in 5 days and it comes from the UK.  Shipping is $12 (flat rate for your order, so as little or as much as you order will all be $12, and it comes via Royal Mail).

I live in their suits all summer because it is the only suits I have ever bought that I feel confident and dont flap around in with my size F boobies.
