Bathing Beauty
May 21st, 2008
I know that it would seem like a larger chest would be preferable in order to better fill out a bikini top, but this is far from the case. As I’ve complained before, the options out there are far and few between. Yet, every time I see a magazine cover claiming to have found the ‘best bikinis for every body,’ I snatch it up immediately. There are pages dedicated to girls with smaller breasts, boyish silhouettes, pear shapes, full-figures and lastly, big busts. Sadly, the suggestions are pathetic, either showcasing hideous tankinis, one pieces, or tunics over what appear to be wet suits beneath. After a friend (who also happens to have a large chest) informed me about the newly sized bikini tops at Gap, I fell in love with their Striped Seersucker Bandeau. It’s very Blair Waldorf, with preppy green stripes and matching buttons, but in sizes that go up to XL, I won’t end up giving anyone a show when jumping into the pool.

This swimsuit top is so perfect. And I completey sympathize with the bustiness *not* being an advantage when it comes to these things. I usually end up relying on sturdy halter tops but I hate the tan lines they leave.
I can sympathize, as I always seems to be popping out of little triangle tops myself. I happened to buy this in the red last week when I spied it through the Gap Body window. Enjoy yours!
Very cute pattern!
The name of your blog is amazing. It’s perfect for me; I love cupcakes, in particular the Magnolia Bakery cupcakes in NYC and cashmere!
That is a very cool-looking bikini top. I think it would look good on many bust sizes. I also like the stripes. Fresh and fun.
Thank you so much for your post! I really think it is a great looking bikini top. The colour is very innocently beautiful, the shape is retro with a twist…. A great find!
hmm i really like that bikini top. I agree they should dedicate more bathing suit tops suitable for “smaller chests”!
i have this bathing suit and i love it! but sadly i wore it on a recent vacation and its too big now
I dont know if you’ll get to read this comment since this entry is way back on 2008, but can I say a big thank you for spelling out the bikini problem for bustier women.
Unfortunately from where I’m from, the swimwear choices aren’t that varied for top heavy women. L sizes that actually fit are a rarity too. I’ve been looking for something with an underwire but so far haven’t found it yet. That cute halter top would be a dream to try on.
