Tankini With Bra
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
Where swimsuits are concerned, women requiring extra chest support can benefit greatly from a tankini with bra.
Swimsuits for the Ample-Chested
The majority of swimsuit fashions are designed for figures that require minimal to medium support in the chest area. This typically means that women who are well endowed on top have a real struggle finding swimsuits that look stylish and provide enough support to harbor their assets. Many one piece styles have bras sewn into the chest, but these suits can be terribly passé.
Tankinis have made a real place for themselves in the world of swimsuit fashion. Over the last decade, tankinis have gained a foothold with major department stores and designer labels, and their popularity is still increasing. This type of swimsuit is able to provide all the support of a one piece and nearly all the coverage. Like many one pieces, some takinis are equipped with a shelf-bra support system built into the suit.
Advantages of the Tankini with Bra
Sure, one-pieces are slimming, especially when they are manufactured from a solid color material. However, anyone who has gone to the pool or beach sporting a one piece is well acquainted with the awkward bathroom dance. Bikinis definitely have the advantage where rest rooms are concerned, yet the average bikini offers only minimal support.
Women with larger cup sizes who need built-in support can rejoice over tankinis with bras. Your tankini can make frequent restroom trips an absolute breeze since you only need remove one half at a time. Problems and inconveniences solved!
Sadly, not every tankini offers a shelf bra. Some tankini styles may have a built-in underwire support system, but these types are generally harder to locate in stores. Moreover, certain tankinis may even provide a removable soft bra. The soft bra is a remarkable feature because it adds shape to those who are lacking, and provides decent lift for those who can put it to good use.
Where to Purchase
Heading over to your nearest swimsuit boutique should yield at least few tankinis with bras. However, although the tankini is a popular style, one with a built-in bra is still considered a specialty swimsuit. When shopping in stores, expect your tankini with bra design and print options to be limited for the time being.
If you know your size and are comfortable with the Internet, you may find shopping on line for your particular tankini is the fastest way to get results. Buying from a well known designer brand is one of the easiest ways to ensure a quality purchase.
The popular Speedo label carries a few bra-inclusive tankinis in a fairly restricted amount of colors. However, Speedo is a well-recognized brand, and you can be sure that your swimsuit has been designed and constructed to meet your every need. Moreover, when you are purchasing online goods from popular designers you are typically guaranteed decent customer service. These benefits will come in handy should you need to return or exchange the product.
For Summer 2007 season, Speedo also has an adorable Dot Print Tankini that features a removable soft cup bra as well as a brushed metallic "S" holding the racer-style back together. So you see, noteworthy style does not have to perish for those who require specific and functional swimsuits.
Other Styles to Consider
Tankinis are great for covering up a problem mid-section. However, if you are not self-conscious about your abdominals and are simply considering the tankini/bra combo to accommodate your bosom, then there are numerous other swimsuit styles that can meet your needs. Many women with more than ample chests believe bikinis to be an impossibility, but quality halter bikini tops can secure your chest easily due to the thickness of the bottom band. It's very important for any clothing item to emphasize your best characteristics while minimizing your worst, and most body types have more than one swimsuit style appropriate for their frames!
