The Best Swimsuits for Large Bust: A No-Nonsense Guide to Support, Fit, and Not Getting Fleeced

Why "Best Swimsuit for Large Bust" Is an Engineering Problem, Not a Shopping Problem

A swimsuit for a large bust is not a smaller swimsuit with more fabric. That is the first thing to unlearn. The garment has to do three jobs simultaneously: hold weight, distribute tension, and return to shape after being stretched, soaked, and dried. Most swimwear fails at job one because it was never designed for job one. It was designed for a B cup and graded upward, which is how you end up with a suit that looks supportive in the dressing-room mirror and turns into a slingshot the moment you move.

The engineering frame matters because it changes what you look for. Instead of scanning for "DD-friendly" language on a product page, you start scanning for load-bearing features: a band that grips the ribcage, a wire that sits flat against the sternum, straps wide enough to spread pressure across the shoulder, and a fabric with enough modulus — the technical term for resistance to stretch — to keep its shape once wet. The Good Housekeeping Institute's Textiles Lab tests swimsuits precisely on this principle: they stretch the suit, measure recovery, and check whether the fabric sags or snaps back after repeated exposure to chlorine, salt water, and UV. That is the right question to ask. "Is it cute?" is secondary.

The wrong question is "what cup size does this suit fit?" Cup size is a ratio, not a volume. A 32F and a 38F do not carry the same mass, and a brand that grades only by cup without adjusting band tension will produce a suit that technically covers a larger bust but does not actually support it. Business Insider's tester, a 34DD, put it plainly: if you have a smaller band and a larger bust, alpha sizing (S/M/L) is functionally useless. You need bra-sized construction, or you need a brand that explicitly engineers around the band-to-bust ratio.

The Three Load-Bearing Points: Band, Wire, Strap

Every supportive swimsuit for a large bust resolves to three contact points. The band carries the majority of the weight. If it is loose, the straps do the work, and the straps are not designed for that. The wire — if there is one — provides shape and separation, but only if it sits flush against the ribcage and does not float away from the body when you lift your arms. The straps distribute whatever the band and wire do not carry. Wide, adjustable straps are the default recommendation for a reason: they spread pressure and reduce the dig-in that turns a beach day into a shoulder massage from hell.

When a suit fails, it usually fails at the band first. A band that rides up in the back is not "a little loose." It is a structural failure. The same logic applies to a bikini top that requires constant readjustment after a swim: the band is not gripping, the wire is not anchored, and the straps are compensating for both. A suit that fits correctly should feel closer to a well-fitting everyday bra than to a piece of lingerie you have to babysit.

Why Cup Size Alone Tells You Almost Nothing

US swimwear sizing is voluntary in practice. The FTC requires fiber content, country of origin, and care labeling on most textile products, but it does not mandate a universal cup-grading system for swimwear. That means a "DD" from one brand can fit like a "D" from another and a "DDD" from a third. The only reliable signal is whether the brand publishes bra-sized fits — exact band and cup combinations — or explicitly states that its suits are designed for a specific band-to-cup ratio. Bravissimo, for example, sells suits in sizes from 30DD to 40K, which is not a marketing claim but a construction difference. TA3 goes further, letting you pick bodice length, body size, and cup size independently, up to a J/K. That is what "engineered for a large bust" actually looks like on a spec sheet.

The Swimsuit Styles That Actually Work for a Large Bust (and the Ones That Don't)

Style is not decoration. It is the visible expression of the underlying support structure. A balconette top and a triangle bikini can both be described as "cute," but one is built to lift and the other is built to look good in a photo for approximately four minutes. The styles below are ranked by how much structural work they do, not by how trendy they are.

Balconette / Underwire Bra-Sized Tops

The balconette cut is the closest thing to a universal recommendation for a large bust. It sits lower across the chest than a full-cup bra, uses a horizontal or slightly sweetheart neckline, and relies on an underwire and a structured band to do the lifting. Freya's Jewel Cove bikini top is a frequent editor pick because it uses seamed foam cups, side boning, and a hook-and-eye back closure — essentially bra construction translated into swimwear. Raq Apparel's balconette top goes up to a 42K and is sized by bra measurement, which eliminates the guesswork. If you want the highest probability of actual support from a two-piece, this is the category to start with.

The trade-off is aesthetic. Solid-color balconettes can look like bras, because they are built like bras. If that bothers you, patterned versions hide the construction seams better, and brands like Bravissimo have made a deliberate effort to keep the prints and cuts modern rather than matronly. The support is the point. The style is negotiable.

High-Neck and Halter Styles with Wide Straps

High-neck swimsuits have become the default "supportive but cute" recommendation for a reason: the higher neckline provides coverage and structure without relying on a deep plunge to hold everything in place. Athleta's High Neck Bikini Top is a frequent pick for D and DD cups because it is designed to stay put during movement, not just during lounging. Lands' End's high-neck tankini tops go up to DDD and combine soft cups with a modest silhouette, which makes them a practical choice for swimming, chasing children, or any activity where a wardrobe malfunction is not on the agenda.

Halter styles are more complicated. A halter can provide good lift because the straps angle upward and inward, but only if the straps are wide and the tie points are reinforced. Thin string halters concentrate weight on the back of the neck and are a bad idea for a large bust, full stop. A wide-strap halter with an under-bust band — like Toco's Yara top — distributes the load across the shoulders and the band, which is why a 36G tester reported being able to bend over without spillage. The rule is simple: if the halter straps are narrower than two fingers, walk away.

Plunge and V-Neck Cuts That Still Hold

A plunge neckline and support are not mutually exclusive, but the margin for error is narrower. A plunge works when the wire cups are structured, the band is firm, and the fabric has enough recovery to prevent gaping. Left On Friday's Sunday Top D+ is built specifically for D through G cups and uses a compressive, wire-free construction that holds the bust in place without padding. Popilush's plunging one-piece combines wire cups with mesh shapewear panels, which is a different strategy: the support comes from compression rather than a traditional bra frame. Both can work. What does not work is a soft-cup plunge with a flimsy band and decorative straps. That is a bikini for a different bust size wearing a large-bust label.

Bandeau, Strapless, and "Convertible" — Read the Fine Print

Strapless swimwear for a large bust is the hardest engineering problem in the category. Supporting breast weight without shoulder straps requires an exceptionally firm band and a wire that grips the ribcage, and very few brands get it right. Curvy Kate's Wrapsody Bandeau is the rare exception that editors consistently flag as genuinely supportive, with molded underwire cups and a convertible mesh wrap that can be worn as straps, sleeves, or a bandeau. If a brand does not explicitly engineer for strapless support — and most do not — treat "convertible" as a style option, not a support guarantee.

Tankinis, One-Pieces, and Tummy-Control Suits

Tankinis occupy a useful middle ground: more coverage than a bikini, more convenience than a one-piece, and often better bust support than either. Lands' End's Sweetheart Wrap Underwire Tankini is a recurring recommendation because it combines a built-in underwire bra with adjustable straps and a flattering wrap neckline, and it comes in D, DD, and DDD cup sizes. The ability to buy the top and bottom separately is a practical advantage for anyone whose bust and hip measurements do not fall into the same size bracket.

One-pieces with tummy control add a second engineering layer. Miraclesuit's Oceanus is the benchmark here: DD-cup sizing, built-in underwire, wide straps, and a sculpting fabric that the Good Housekeeping Institute found slimmed more effectively than other styles in its tests. The catch is that tummy-control compression and bust support can pull in opposite directions. A suit that compresses the midsection aggressively may also compress the bust or make the band feel tighter than expected. If you are between sizes, size up and let the adjustable features do the work.

The Brands That Treat DD+ as a First-Class Citizen, Not an Exception

There are two kinds of brands in this category: those that design for a large bust and those that simply stock a larger size. The difference shows up in the construction, the size range, and whether the product page reads like it was written by someone who has actually worn a DD+ suit in the ocean. The brands below fall into the first group.

Bra-Sized Specialists: Bravissimo, Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate

Bravissimo is the reference point. Every suit on its site is available in exact band and cup sizes, from 30DD to 40K, and the construction mirrors its lingerie: underwire, seamed cups, firm bands, adjustable straps. The brand's Pollenca one-piece uses hidden underwire cups and a hidden clasp, which is the kind of detail that matters when you are actually swimming rather than posing. Freya, Panache, and Curvy Kate operate on the same principle. Freya's bikini tops are available in standard bra sizing from 30D to 42G and use seamed foam cups and side boning. Panache's Paloma Balcony Swimsuit goes from 30DD to 40O and combines non-padded underwire cups with tummy control and princess seams. These brands are not cheap, but they are the closest thing to a guaranteed fit in a category where guessing is expensive.

Shaping and Compression Players: TA3, Miraclesuit, Shapellx

TA3 built its reputation on a corseted back that functions like a laced bodice. The Lifty model combines underwire cups, adjustable lacing, and a compressive fabric that cinches the waist while lifting the bust, and it is available in cup sizes up to J/K with short, regular, and long torso options. The trade-off is that a compressive suit is harder to get into than a standard one — one tester described "struggling a little" to put it on — but the payoff is a level of shaping that most swimwear cannot match.

Miraclesuit occupies a similar territory with a broader retail footprint. The Oceanus DD-cup one-piece is widely available at Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Nordstrom, and it combines underwire support with a sculpting fabric that resists fading and holds up to chlorine and salt water. Shapellx is the budget-conscious alternative, with tummy-control one-pieces in the $60 range that use compression panels and U-ring hardware to shape the midsection while supporting the bust. None of these suits are minimalist. They are designed to do visible structural work, and they succeed at it.

Mainstream Brands That Actually Deliver: Lands' End, Andie, Summersalt, Athleta

Lands' End is the most consistent mainstream option for a large bust. Its DD-cup collection is not an afterthought: the brand offers D, DD, and DDD cup sizing across multiple styles, plus petite, long-torso, and plus-size fits, and its chlorine-resistant fabrics are built for repeated exposure to pool water. Andie's Amalfi one-piece is a frequent "best overall" pick because it combines a compressive fabric, adjustable straps, removable cups, and a scoop neckline that works across a range of bust sizes. Summersalt's Sidestroke is a one-shoulder design that, despite its risky-looking silhouette, uses double cross-back straps to distribute weight and has accumulated enough reviews to suggest the fit holds up in practice. Athleta's Oasis Underwire Top is the pick for anyone who wants a suit that can handle actual movement: it is designed for D and DD cups, has a hidden underwire, and uses a stretchy, quick-drying fabric.

Budget-Friendly DD+ Options: Cupshe, Hilor, Tempt Me

The budget tier has improved dramatically. Cupshe sells a dedicated DD+ range with wide straps and the option to buy tops and bottoms separately, which is a significant advantage for anyone whose bust and hip sizes do not match. Hilor's one-piece shirred tummy-control suit is a recurring budget pick because it combines thick straps, built-in bra cups, and a compressive midsection at a price point that makes trying it less of a gamble. Tempt Me's high-neck one-piece is another Amazon favorite, with a ruched stomach, a built-in padded push-up bra, and a price that puts it in impulse-purchase territory. The caveat is consistency: budget brands are more likely to have sizing variations between styles, so read the reviews for the specific suit, not the brand as a whole.

Best Swimsuit Brands for Large Bust: A Ranked Shortlist

This is not a "top ten" list in the traditional sense. It is a ranked shortlist based on one criterion: how reliably the brand delivers actual support for a DD+ bust, not just coverage. Prices are approximate US retail and vary by style and season.

1. Bravissimo. The most consistent bra-sized fit in the category. Every suit is available in exact band and cup sizes from 30DD to 40K. Styles range from minimalist one-pieces to trendy bikinis, and the construction is lingerie-grade. Expect to pay $70–$150. The trade-off is limited physical retail presence in the US, so you are buying online and relying on the size chart.

2. TA3. The shaping specialist. The Lifty and Plungey models combine corset-style lacing, underwire cups, and compression fabric to lift the bust and cinch the waist. Sizing goes up to 4X and J/K cups, with short, regular, and long torso options. Expect $100–$180. The fit is snug by design; if you want a relaxed feel, this is not the brand for you.

3. Freya / Panache / Curvy Kate. The bra-brand trio. These are the brands to look at if you already know your UK bra size and want a swimsuit that fits like the bra you already trust. Freya's bikini tops go to 42G, Panache's one-pieces to 40O, and Curvy Kate's strapless options are genuinely supportive. Expect $60–$120 for separates.

4. Lands' End. The mainstream workhorse. D, DD, and DDD cup sizing across a wide range of styles, plus petite, long-torso, and plus fits. Chlorine-resistant fabrics and a generous return policy make it a low-risk choice. Expect $50–$120.

5. Miraclesuit. The tummy-control benchmark. DD and DDD cup options, underwire support, and a sculpting fabric that holds up to repeated washing. Widely available at department stores, which means you can try it on in person. Expect $130–$180, with frequent markdowns.

6. Andie. The direct-to-consumer option. The Amalfi and Maui tops are designed with adjustable straps, removable cups, and compressive fabrics, and the brand's size range extends to 3X. Expect $100–$120. Returns are straightforward, which matters when you are ordering a fit-critical garment online.

7. Athleta. The athletic pick. D and DD cup sizing, hidden underwire, quick-drying fabric, and a cut designed to stay in place during movement. If your swimwear needs to double as activewear, this is the brand to start with. Expect $60–$90 for tops.

8. Cupshe / Hilor / Tempt Me. The budget tier. These brands offer DD+ and large-bust-friendly styles at $25–$50, with the caveat that sizing consistency varies by style. Read the reviews for the specific suit you are considering, and treat the first purchase as a fit test rather than a final decision.

Side-by-Side: What You Actually Pay For (and What You Don't)

Price in this category is not a reliable proxy for support. A $40 suit can outperform a $180 suit if the construction matches your body, and a $180 suit can be a waste of money if the band is wrong. The table below breaks down what the major options actually deliver on the dimensions that matter.

The pattern in the table is not "expensive equals better." It is "specific equals better." The suits that publish exact band and cup sizing, or that explicitly engineer around a large bust, are the ones that deliver. The suits that rely on vague "DD-friendly" language are the ones that end up in the returns bin.

How to Judge Fit Before You Buy (Because Reviews Lie)

Online reviews are useful for durability and color accuracy. They are nearly useless for fit, because fit is body-specific and the reviewer's body is not your body. A five-star review from a 34B does not tell a 36G anything useful. The only reliable way to judge fit is to understand the mechanics and apply them to yourself, either in a fitting room or with a tape measure and a return policy.

The Band Test

Put the suit on and fasten the band on the loosest hook. It should feel snug enough that you can slide no more than two fingers under the band at the side. If you can pull the band away from your back by more than an inch, it is too loose, and the straps will spend the rest of the day doing work they were not designed to do. A band that rides up when you raise your arms is a failed band. This is the single most common fit error in large-bust swimwear, and it is the reason so many women conclude that "supportive swimsuits don't work for me." The suit was not supportive because the band was not doing its job.

The Wire Test

The underwire should sit flat against your ribcage, not float away from your sternum, and it should encase the breast tissue without poking the sides. If the wire digs into your armpit or leaves red marks after ten minutes, the cup shape is wrong, not the size. If the center gore — the fabric between the cups — does not lie flat against your chest, the band is too loose or the cup is too small. A wire that sits correctly will feel like a gentle frame, not a corset. If you have never worn a properly fitted underwire bra, this is the moment to get fitted at a lingerie store before you buy swimwear online. The sizes translate.

The Strap Test

Wide, adjustable straps are the default recommendation, but width alone is not enough. The straps should be adjusted so they sit flat on the shoulder without digging in, and they should not be doing the heavy lifting. If you can slide a finger under the strap and feel it pressing into your shoulder, the band is too loose or the straps are too narrow. A well-fitted suit distributes weight across the band and the straps roughly 70/30. If you feel the straps carrying more than that, the suit is not the right shape for your body.

The US Buyer-Protection Layer Nobody Reads Until It's Too Late

Swimwear is a final-sale category more often than shoppers realize, and the return policies are not uniform. Macy's, for example, accepts returns within 30 days of purchase, but "Last Act" merchandise is final sale: no returns, no exchanges, no price adjustments. TA3 allows returns within 21 days of delivery, but only on unworn items with tags and the hygienic liner attached, and the policy for sale items is stated separately on the product page. Amazon's return window is typically 30 days, but the specifics depend on the seller and the item. The practical rule is simple: before you buy, find the return policy for that specific product, not the retailer's general policy. A generous brand-wide policy means nothing if the style you want is marked final sale.

Return Windows and "Final Sale" Traps

The hygienic liner is the detail that trips people up. Most retailers require the liner to be intact for a return, which means you cannot actually try the suit on in the way you would try on a dress. The workaround is to try it on over underwear and keep the liner in place until you are sure. If a suit arrives without a liner, that is a red flag: it may be a returned item that was not properly inspected, and returning it may be more complicated than the product page suggests.

FTC Labeling and What It Does (and Doesn't) Guarantee

The Federal Trade Commission requires most textile products to carry a label listing fiber content, country of origin, and the manufacturer or responsible company, and the care-labeling rule (16 CFR Part 423) requires permanent care instructions that remain legible for the useful life of the garment. What the FTC does not do is certify fit. There is no federal standard for swimwear cup sizing, which is why a "DD" from one brand can fit like a "D" from another. The label tells you what the suit is made of and how to wash it. It does not tell you whether it will support you. That is still on the brand's construction and your own fit test.

Import Duties, Shipping, and the Real Cost of "Free Returns"

"Free returns" is a marketing phrase, not a business model. The cost of the return is baked into the price of the suit, the minimum order threshold, or the shipping fee you paid to get it. If a retailer offers free returns but charges $8 for shipping and requires a $75 minimum for free delivery, the effective cost of trying the suit is the shipping fee plus the time value of your money. That is not free. It is a lottery ticket with a built-in margin. The same logic applies to "free shipping": it usually comes with a minimum order value that encourages you to buy a second suit you did not need, and the return policy for that second suit may be different from the first. Read the fine print before you let the cart total creep upward.

Maternity, Post-Partum, and Older Bodies: The Same Engineering, Different Constraints

The underlying mechanics of support do not change with age or pregnancy. What changes is the shape of the torso, the sensitivity of the skin, and the amount of time you are willing to spend adjusting a strap. The suits that work are the ones that combine the same load-bearing features — band, wire, strap — with enough adjustability to accommodate a body that is changing.

Maternity Swimwear for a Large Bust

Maternity suits have to do two jobs: support the bust and accommodate a growing abdomen without digging into it. The most reliable options are tankinis and one-pieces with ruched sides, adjustable ties, and molded cups. Summer Mae's maternity tankini is a frequent forum recommendation because the side ties adjust as the bump grows, and the top is cut to accommodate a larger bust. Cupshe's DD+ range is also worth checking for maternity-friendly cuts, though the brand's maternity-specific sizing is less consistent than its standard DD+ line. The key is to avoid anything with a rigid waistband or a fixed under-bust seam that will become uncomfortable as the torso expands. Adjustability is the feature to prioritize.

Swimwear for Women Over 50 with Large Breasts

The best swimsuits for older women with large breasts are not a separate category; they are the same supportive suits with a different set of aesthetic priorities. Wide, non-adjustable straps can be a problem for anyone with shoulder sensitivity, so adjustable straps or soft-edge straps are worth seeking out. Lands' End's SlenderSuit collection is a frequent pick because the wide straps "prevent the swimsuit from digging into the shoulders" and the soft-cup bra provides coverage without the stiffness of a wired suit. Miraclesuit's Oceanus is another option that works across age groups because the sculpting fabric and underwire provide structure without requiring constant adjustment. The goal is not to "minimize" the bust. It is to support it comfortably enough that you forget you are wearing a swimsuit.

Broad Shoulders + Large Bust

Broad shoulders change the geometry of strap placement. A suit that fits a narrower frame may pull at the neck or sit too close to the armpit on a broader frame. Andie's Tulum and Mykonos one-pieces are cut with cross-back straps and extended torso options that work well for athletic builds and larger chests. The practical adjustment is to prioritize racerback or cross-back styles, which distribute weight more evenly across the shoulders and reduce the forward pull that makes a wide-shouldered fit feel restrictive. A standard over-the-shoulder strap can work, but it needs to be wide and adjustable, and the band needs to be firm enough that the straps are not compensating for a loose fit.

Athletic and Competition Swimwear for a Large Bust

Athletic swimwear and fashion swimwear are built for different jobs. A fashion suit is designed for lounging, light swimming, and looking good in photos. An athletic suit is designed to stay in place through flip turns, resist chlorine degradation, and allow full range of motion in the shoulders. For a large bust, the difference matters more, because a suit that shifts during a lap is not just annoying — it is a distraction that ruins your stroke.

Lap Swimming vs. Lounging: Different Suits, Different Jobs

Competitive and lap-swimming suits typically do not have underwire or molded cups, because the priority is durability and range of motion, not shaping. A 32DD swimmer quoted by SELF explained the trade-off plainly: "With a competitive suit, you're looking for something that's going to hold up longer in the water. Typically, swimmers wouldn't wear a competitive suit with any sort of cups or underwire or padding". The suits that work for a large bust in this context are the ones with wide straps, a supportive underband, and a fabric that resists chlorine. TYR's Durafast Elite Maxfit is a frequent recommendation for larger busts because it combines thicker straps with a full-coverage back and a fabric rated for 200+ hours of chlorine exposure. Speedo's Endurance+ fabric is the industry standard for durability, resisting chlorine degradation roughly 20 times longer than standard nylon.

The practical split is between "swim for exercise" and "swim for leisure." If you are doing laps, prioritize chlorine resistance, strap security, and range of motion. If you are lounging, prioritize underwire, molded cups, and adjustability. A single suit can do both, but it will be a compromise: a fashion suit with underwire will not last as long in a chlorinated pool, and a competition suit will not give you the shaping or coverage of a dedicated swimwear piece. Knowing which job you are hiring the suit for is the first decision.

Frequently Asked Questions (Built Into the Body)

What is the best swimsuit style for a large bust?

The most reliable style is a balconette or high-neck suit with an underwire, a firm band, and wide adjustable straps. Bra-sized construction — where you choose an exact band and cup size rather than S/M/L — is the single strongest predictor of support. If you want a two-piece, start with a bra-sized bikini top and pair it with a bottom that fits your hips, rather than buying a matched set.

Do I need an underwire swimsuit if I have a large bust?

Not always, but underwire is the most direct way to get lift and separation. Some wire-free suits, like Left On Friday's Sunday Top D+, use compressive fabrics and structured bands to provide support without a wire. The trade-off is that wire-free support depends more heavily on the band fit, so you need a suit that grips the ribcage firmly. If you dislike the feel of underwire, look for a brand that explicitly engineers wire-free support rather than a soft-cup suit that happens to come in a larger size.

What are the best swimsuit brands for a large bust in the US?

Bravissimo, Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate, and TA3 are the most consistent bra-sized and large-bust-specific brands. Lands' End, Andie, Summersalt, Miraclesuit, and Athleta are the strongest mainstream options with D/DD/DDD sizing. On a budget, Cupshe's DD+ range and Hilor's one-piece tummy-control suits are worth testing, provided you check the return policy and read reviews for the specific style rather than the brand as a whole.

How do I know if a swimsuit band fits correctly?

Fasten the band on the loosest hook and try to slide two fingers under it at the side. If you can pull the band more than an inch away from your back, it is too loose. The band should stay in place when you raise your arms, and the center gore should lie flat against your chest. If the band rides up or the straps dig into your shoulders, the band is not doing its job and the suit will not provide stable support regardless of cup size.

Are expensive swimsuits actually better for a large bust?

Price is not a reliable proxy for support. A $40 suit with the right band, wire, and strap construction can outperform a $180 suit that is the wrong shape for your body. What you are paying for at the higher end is usually more precise sizing (bra-sized fits), better fabric recovery, and more consistent construction. The smart approach is to prioritize construction features over brand prestige, and to buy from a retailer with a return policy that lets you test the fit without risking the full purchase price.

Can I wear a strapless swimsuit with a large bust?

Yes, but only if the suit is specifically engineered for strapless support. Curvy Kate's Wrapsody Bandeau is the rare example that editors consistently flag as genuinely supportive, with molded underwire cups and a firm band. Most strapless suits are not built for a large bust, and a "convertible" top that can be worn strapless is not necessarily supportive when the straps are removed. If you want a strapless option, look for a brand that publishes strapless fit notes or has a track record of supportive strapless construction, and be prepared to size based on your bra measurement rather than your clothing size.

What is the best swimsuit for a large bust and tummy control?

Miraclesuit's Oceanus DD-cup one-piece is the benchmark for combining bust support and tummy control: it has built-in underwire, wide straps, and a sculpting fabric that the Good Housekeeping Institute found effective in its slimming tests. TA3's Lifty is the alternative if you want more dramatic shaping, thanks to its corset lacing and compression fabric. Lands' End's SlenderSuit collection is the budget-friendly option, with soft-cup support and a wrap bodice that smooths the midsection without the stiffness of a wired suit.
