Any websites other than breakoutbras.com, figleaves.com, or barenecessities.com to check? I'm disappointed by their tankini selection for small sizes.

I'm currently a 28DD. I have a Panache 30DD tankini that worked quite well for me last summer but the boobs have shrunk (and sagged) some more since then. Ideally I need a 28DD but a 30D would probably work. I need a tankini with good (really good, actually) support - underwire is fine - that is either longer in length (to cover the twinskin) or comes with a bottom that hits higher up (so I can tuck in my twinskin - gross). Tankinis seem to hide the bulge the best just by illusion. One-piece swimsuits (even the ones with "tummy control") just don't work - I look pregnant. And a bikini obviously won't work. Help!

I used to have luck at Venus, but think they only have bikini tops in cup sizes. I also love (but can't afford) Aerin Rose.

Have you looked at any Athleta swimsuits? I bought one last year when I had nursing boobs and needed a more supportive top. I was really pleased with it. I have a short torso, so I don't know if the tankini tops would really be considered long or if they are just kind of long on me.

This top is cute: http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=62807&vid=1&pid=819356

This is the top I have (I just wear it with black bottoms that I already had) http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49939&vid=1&pid=705919#

Here's another option that might work: http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49939&vid=1&pid=740057

Have you looked on figleaves.com? I have bought freya swimsuits on there before, they also have Panache. Both have suits in a 28DD.

ETA Sorry, I just noticed the part where you said you had already checked figleaves! landsend does have D/DD/DDD cup sizes.
