Tankini with support

[lablover]

Does anyone make tankini style swimsuits with chest support. I've never been able to find one in the past that is reasonably stylish. After 2 kids, I'm now a very droopy C and so I'd like some lift in that area.

I highly recommend Victoria's Secret Miracle Bra tankinis. You purchase them in standard bra sizing, with underwire and adjustable straps for plenty of support (and more/less push up). You can also order various bottoms and coordinating swim skirts for a variety of coverage options. I have received many compliments wearing these suits.

i might have seen something at lands end that would offer support. they have tons of options and i feel like i saw something underwire...

I personally did not have great luck with the Landend suits for support, but it certainly may be worth a try. They do have a nice selection. IMO, the suits with bra sizing and underwire work the best for support. In addition to VS, I have seen some at local department stores.

Yeah, my LE tankini tops only have a shelf bra, and they're not as supportive as I wish. They do make styles with underwire, and that's what I should have bought!

I have always had alot of luck with Nautica brand tankinis. I just bought one online from Macys. Really cute and sporty yet functional and supportive. Hope this helps.

I got a nice one from JCrew last year that had tummy support and underwire.
It doesn't look like they have the tummy support version, but this is basically it:

Order the Long Torso if you want a little more coverage. I only get the ones with underwire for the support, a shelf bra is not going to cut it for me. LE carries a few, but I find their sizes run big most of the time and usually have to order 3 different ones to get the right fit and the bottoms are way too dowdy for me.

There's a brand called "Aerin Rose" that specializes in bra sized underwires.

Look for the "banded halter tankinis."

I'm going to order another one this year.

Thanks everyone! Lots of options to choose from!

I haven't bought one, but the Athleta catalog had some that I'm eyeing...

If you have an eye on Athleta buy it quick, everyone I wanted last year was sold out in my size pretty early. They look gorgeous though.

Another vote for LE! I love how you can choose from several tops with underwire for full support and choose from a variety of bottoms in the swim section. I have 3 suits from them and love them all!

Slight hijack here, but I was wondering how the sizing runs on the LE swim stuff. A lot of the clothing I've bought from them (for me) ran on the large side so I'm curious if the swim stuff is the same way? TIA!

I bought a 2 piece suit from LE last year. I had to get a size smaller than my usual size. I agree that their sizes run on the large side.
