Finding swimwear for small frame, busty/curvy figure?

[cryptic]

A friend of mine is having a lot of difficulty finding swimwear. I haven't asked her for exact measurements, but essentially the problem is she has a small frame and is very busty/curvy. She claims she can't find anything locally (Toronto) that fits, and that she would have to order from Europe (she wants one now).

I'm hoping this makes sense so that someone can help me help her find a local retailer selling swimwear that fits. I can pass on follow-up questions if necessary. It would be much appreciated. Thanks!

We could probably help you better if you posted a pic of this big breasted small framed girl.:biggrin1:

(Somebody had to say it)

She needs to find a store that allows to mix and match the tops and bottoms of two pieces. Ordering online is usually the best bet, but if she's in a rush I've had some decent finds at west 49. They have branches at most of the major malls. Good luck.

My wife has that problem. She's a busty size zero, and lots of clothes don't fit. You will have better luck with some of the upscale designer brands, but unfortunately not in the obvious locations like Yorkville because that district mostly serves middle aged women with rich husbands (i.e., fat), despite having the brands that in theory should be a fit. It's still worth trying there... but you really need to get down to the US where they have a similar line-up but aimed at younger women. Still you might have some luck in Yorkville.

High end stores are overrated for swim wear. Its about options and selection, not brand names for swimwear. They think you're a perfectly proportioned model type. I recently bought a new work out bikini and it was a huge ordeal. Took me almost 2 months to find it. Seriously, condo shopping is easier than finding the perfect fitting swimsuit for a lady with a well endowed chest OR ass, but not both. If West 49 doesn't have something try Old Navy. They had a big mix and match sale on swimwear last month. She might be surprised with the gems she can dig up.
Alternatively, she could buy a top she likes at one store and find a matching bottom at another. A solid base color would be fine for this. Trust me, I watch lots of What Not to Wear. And am an avid swimmer. lol!!
PM me for more. I wish her luck.

Try Melmira http://www.melmira.com/

They specialize in fitting bras and swimwear. They're on Yonge between Lawrence and Wilson.

Sounds like you need a roadtrip to Miami or Ft Lauderdale Florida. You will have no problem finding clothes and bikinis to fit, and at more reasonable prices too, guaranteed .

Aqua La Vie En Rose carries swimwear for busty females. If she is tall she may have a problem finding a one piece because the torsos tend to be short. Being petite, she should be fine.

I wouldn't say I'm busty but I have a small frame (tiny-boned) but with lots of curves. I have a couple of bathing suits that I ordered online from J.C. Penny that fit me very well.

Yes, mixing and matching would be a good idea.

http://www.panache-superbra.com/swimwear.aspx - best company ever and there is a new bra place at 895 Yonge St. They'll be carrying the Panache lines I believe and could likely order the swimwear line.

Otherwise ebay.co.uk
