Bra-Sized Swim

Types of Bra Sized Swimwear

Underwire Bikinis

Underwire bikinis have extra support and comfort while swimming or lounging by the water. These bikinis incorporate the underwire structure of a bra which typically offers better lift and shaping. Underwire provides firm and secure support which is great for large breasts. When choosing an underwire bikini top, look for styles with adjustable straps and closures to customize the fit to your body. Remember that if the underwire is poking your body and uncomfortable you should try a different size.

Tankinis are popular for adding a bit more skin coverage while creating a cute peekaboo two-piece set. Look out for Victoria's Secret tankinis designed to fit according to your bra size which helps you get a snug but comfortable fit. Built-in underwire and molded cups usually provide superior support similar to Victoria's Secret's World's Best Bras

One-Piece Swimsuits with Built-in Bras

One-piece swimsuits with a built-in bra structure are the ultimate choice for flattering shape and comfort. A built-in bra structure provides ample support to minimize breast movement while you swim or lounge. The reinforced structure helps lift and shape the bust while the extra skin coverage can shape the stomach and hips.

Swim Bras

Swim bras are any kind of bikini top that could be worn under a tankini, one piece swimsuit, or other kind of swim shirt for a flattering and uplifting effect. If you're doing physical activity or looking for maximum support, try a swim bra for a secure fit. Look for Victoria's Secret bikinis with a light lining and clean, minimalist design that won’t show through under other layers.

How to Measure Your Bra Size for Swimwear

Measuring your bra size for swimwear is just like measuring your normal bra size. Wear a non-padded, non-minimizing bra, and wrap a soft measuring tape around your back and under each arm (elbows down). Take the measurement just above the bust where your bra straps meet your cups. Then take the measurement across the fullest part of your bust. Enter these numbers into our bra size calculator to get an updated bra size. Some may find that swimwear feels small in the bust because of the unique stretch fabric that often clings to curves. Check out the size notes on each product to get a sense of the fit.
