That's what's worked for me and I think we're boob twins ;) But mine are NOT bikinis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2152274 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 09:06:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2152274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I too am a 32/34 DD and I have had good luck with J Crew's underwire tops. You can buy them in bra sizes instead of just s,m,l.<br /> I just wore one 7 months PP and it made my boobs look pretty good. I got compliments!<br /> ETA: NOT compliments on my boobs, on the suit. Haha. That would be weird, considering I was with my mom and dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2152265 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 09:04:19 +0000 bpcmarj 2152265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: Love that suit!!</p> <p>Thanks for all the suggestions!

They have a Small++ size for a small band and DD cup. I linked the black suit but I prefer the multi colored ones.

Shipping is free both ways if you spend over $50 so you can just order a ton. However I'm not sure how small the band sizes go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2151269 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 12:22:58 +0000 HabesBabe 2151269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: this suit is adorbs! and it looks very supportive.</p> <p>I 3rd (4th?) the ASOS recommendation. I got a red underwire halter top (34G) last month to wear with high waisted retro bottoms I got from Amazon (the top that came with it was no good). And it was on clearance! And shit gets here fast from the UK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2151264 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 12:21:12 +0000 raspberries 2151264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: Right?! It's Midnight Grace (<a href="http://www.figleaves.com/us/search/midnight-grace/" rel="nofollow">http://www.figleaves.com/us/search/midnight-grace/</a>). And I agree, I feel like the halter ones dig into my neck, so I'm all about the regular bra strap ones (plus I don't really like the tan lines from halters, and I tan super easily.)</p> <p>@blackbird: Thanks, lady! I've got nothing in the buns department, so I haven't had an issue with their bottom sizing - but I agree, I wish they had at least removable padding in the tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2151262 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 12:20:15 +0000 kick641 2151262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32G here pre-pregnancy and I second the Freya recommendation. I order them through Nordstrom so I can return easily and I was crazy about the two I had. Also not the perkiest naturally but I felt like they looked really good in Freya tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2151233 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 12:05:00 +0000 blackbird 2151233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: That one is so cute on you! I have the yellow one in the halter version but the bottoms don't fit me very well. Grumble.

I wear a 12 in my cup size, but I'll wear the bottoms with that type of molded halter top. I haven't been able to find anything that works as well as a halter for support and perkiness that isn't so full coverage, I look like an old lady wearing a bra. I tried some Freya suits, but they just looked so frumpy and dumpy on me. Sure, they covered my chest, but I didn't look proportionate without SOME cleavage. I was not impressed with my JCrew swimsuit....I had one and it made me look really saggy after having E, so I had to get rid of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-bikini#post-2151141 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:12:45 +0000 Chillybear 2151141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few that i've been checking out at Soma....

I have been working out hard and will be wearing a bikini this year but I am a feeling finding one is going to be hard. My band size is getting smaller and smaller and boobs are staying about the same. If I had to guess right now I am like a 32/34 DD. And, I breastfed for 27 months so the girls are just NOT perky like they used to be. </p> <p>I am OK with function over fashion and would ideally get a solid color (black?) Top that I could mix with different bottoms. Any tried and true suggestions? Underwire is a plus. My last good suit was La Blanca, but it is a 36D and is just WAY too big now. </p>
