Swim suit?

I was such a large size for so many years that I forgot I had this problem when I was smaller. Swimwear doesn't fit me well. I have very large, saggy breasts (40 F) but my rib cage and waist are small, and I'm only 5'2". So if I find a suit that fits my cup size I am swimming in it, and suits that fit the rest of my body I spill out of. I've lost weight everywhere except my boobs. Band size went down but cup is the same.

Anybody have any advice? Despite the saggy skin I am not really self conscious about wearing a suit in public, except the top has to fit or I'll be miserable. Anyone have suggestions about brands, sizes, alterations? I once tried to have a suit altered and they told me they couldn't work with the fabric. Is that typical?

Have you tried two piece separates? You could buy a smaller bottom size and a larger top size. I don't know if that would be enough, but it might help some. They sell tops with varying degrees of modesty and types of fits.

Separates would be my suggestion too. Or a miracle suit.

Lands End!!!  They sell seperates by size and cup up to a DDD, some have underwires.  So, example....you can get a DDD cup top in any size from a 4 or 6 - 18.  I hope this helps.

Check out cyberswim.com.  They have a numberof suits that give good support, especially some of the high necked suits.
