Topless or Bottomless?

Shopping for a swim suit is something that many women dread; I am one of those women. I have come to the realization that I simply can’t find a swim suit that will fit at the mall. I have to go online to buy a swim suit that will even come close to covering me up enough. Otherwise, I’ll look like I’m trying out to be on the cover of the next Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Through my experience I’ve learned that halter top bikini’s with and underwire offer the most support and are the most comfortable choice for my girls. However, the number of options for someone with a 36 G European (36 i US) bra size is extremely limited. I’m lucky if I find two suits that might fit and even luckier if one of them isn’t absolutely hideous. I’m only 26, and while that may be old to some, I certainly don’t think I should be forced to wear a suit that even my grandmother would find revolting.

Well, I was swim suit shopping this week and I hit GOLD – or so I thought. As always, I end up looking at websites of companies that are based half way across the world because I can’t find anything that will fit close to home. But amazingly, I found a cute suit and I was thrilled. I ordered it immediately. After the total was calculated in to US dollars my total was around $90. So I messaged a few friends to share my excitement.

Then yesterday I get this email:

The position of your order is as follows:

FW74 Candypink 36 G Halter Biki 1 x £27.50 In stock.
FW75 Candypink L Bikini Bottom Sold Out.

Unfortunately we can no longer supply items that are sold out. If you would like to order any alternative items, please re-visit our website . . . We will send your order by 1st Class Royal Mail and it will generally be delivered with your normal post.


Awesome, I have finally found a top that will fit and now they are out of the bottom and won’t be getting more in stock. However, they are shipping the top to me anyway. Maybe since my huge jugs are finally covered up no one on the beach will notice that I’m not wearing any bottoms . . .

Ta-ta for now. . .

  1. Luckily miss-matched suits are supposed to be in this year. So maybe you'll actually be the most fashionably hip one on the beach.

  2. I'm in the process of looking for a suite, the summer trip to the beach is fast approaching and I was wondering what are some of the better websites that you've found?

    Thanks!
