What a bust!

A couple of weeks ago I decided to get fitted at Nordstrom. I have known for some time now that the undergarments I was choosing for my upper half were not the right size. It was high time to realize that these ladies were not going to fit into anything from Victoria's Secret. Those adorable lace halter Free People bras...simply forget about it.

It always drives me a bit batty. Bras were invented to help woman yet you can hardly find any cute ones in larger sizes. Don't even get me started on swimsuits!

After the saleswoman at Nordstrom told me my size (I went to two different Nordstrom's to confirm this ridiculousness). I purchased a new bra and can I tell you what a difference it makes? Not only do I feel supported, but I actually feel thinner because it grabs me in all the right places. If you haven't gotten a proper measurement I highly recommend it!

Since I still want to rock a two piece it is really important to have a great fitting suit. I had purchased a top from Old Navy that I thought would tame the beasts but in reality it was an ill fitting, unflattering, I tossed it as soon as I got home top. Because I have to go up so large in cup size - the rest of the suit is almost always too large.

Then I discovered ASOS Fuller Bust swim line. Bonus points it is sized the same as a bra so you know you are getting a great fit. While it was a bummer my suit didn't arrive in time for Trinity I put it on when I came home and LOVED it. Seriously, it makes me feel way more confident. I promise no one is paying me to say that. Did I mention the selection is huge?! (I snagged that one on the bottom left).

So I rounded up a few of my favorites for all us busty women!

  2. Oh man, I definitely need to get fitted. I'm kind of scared to see how off I've been with my sizing!

  3. I am a little smaller up top but still think I could really benefit from getting fitted! Swimsuits have become hard because the selection gets skimpier every year! In 5 years girls are just going to walk around naked at this rate! haha

  5. I definitely need to get sized too but I am worried about the saleswoman laughing at me for being so off in my size. Because I am pretty sure I am!

  6. LOVE this! I am always so hesitant to order from their site. But love a proper top on a suit that actually serves a purpose! ha

  7. I got measured earlier this year after I felt like I was wearing the wrong size and it makes SUCH a difference to wear bras that actually stay up and are fitted correctly. Those Asos swimsuits are so cute!
