If shopping for bikinis when you have a fuller bust and a more petite bottom feels like a balancing act, we’re here to tell you it doesn’t have to be. In fact, large top and small bottom bikinis are easier to pair than you’d think. 

At Maison SL, we believe swimwear should be as flattering as it is comfortable, and that includes finding designs that support your shape while also looking stylish. 

Here’s our expert guide to choosing the best bikinis for big boobs and small bottoms. Plus, a curated list of our favourite pieces this season.

The Best Bikinis For Big Boobs & Small Bottoms

The best way to find a large breasts and small bottom bikini is to combine different sizes and sometimes different styles. Because of this, most brands and designers sell tops and briefs separately. 

Here are a few of our favourites you might want to try. We’ve listed the bikinis for fuller busts first, and the bottoms for petite frames second. 

1. Aubade Summer Essence Plunge Triangle Bikini

Wiring and structured cuts are your best friends if you have a fuller bust, and this Aubade bikini top offers these up without compromising on style. 

Notably, this bikini top features triangle cups and circular ring design elements, adding a chic finish. It’s available in classic black or vibrant purple, and sizes range up to 34E. 

2. Empriente Wave Plunge Wired Bikini Top

Looking for a bikini with a feminine touch? The Empriente Wave Plunge Wired Bikini has a flattering V-neck cut, a lush orchid hue, and a rounded ruffle for a sensual finish.

The dainty details also come with a solid support for larger chests and has a hook-and-eye fastening and adjustable straps like a standard bra, it also features underwire so you’re supported at the pool.

3. Lise Charmel Antigel Muse Des Iles Wired Bikini Set

If you prefer matching sets, then the Lise Charmel Antigel Muse Des Iles Wired Bikini Set ticks the right boxes if you’re looking for a fuller bust and a smaller bottom combination.

The top features underwriting and a supportive shape for comfort around the bust, while the bottoms have a side tie and an asymmetrical ruffle to balance your figure. This set is available up to 36G.

Now, onto the bottoms. Side ties are a good option if you’re a smaller size on the bottom, and they can balance your figure by adding an extra visual element (the ties).

The Andres Sarda Rodero Tie Side Bikini Briefs feature feminine side ties and are crafted from a delicate crêpe fabric. Ideal for poolside luxury. 

They’re available in S, M, and L and colours black and red.

5. Maison Lejaby Abysse High Waisted Bikini Brief

 Bold prints are another great way to balance your figure if you have a smaller bottom and larger breasts. 

Printed briefs come in all variations, but the Maison Lejaby Abysse High Waisted Briefs offer an especially fresh look for the beach. With a sporty-come-geometric print and a flattering high-waisted fit, they can be paired with a minimal top for a complete look.

How To Find a Bikini With A Big Bust And Small Bottom

If you have fuller breasts but require a more petite bottom size, you might have trouble finding matching bikinis that fit both areas. However, you can bypass ill-fitting and unflattering shapes by knowing which cuts complement your body. 

Firstly, you want to mix and match sizing to make sure you have a good fit on top and bottom. Then, you can look at specific design elements that will complement your figure.

For example, it’s better to opt for supportive tops that lift and shape your fuller bust rather than loose styles without any structure. 

In contrast, if you’re looking for a balanced look, it’s best to choose bottoms that have ruching or tie-side detailing to add volume to your lower half. Bold prints, embellishments, and high-cut bikini briefs can also balance your figure and elongate your frame. 

When in doubt, always try the bikini on together to see the full picture. It’s always best to try styles in-store, and the experts at Maison SL are always happy to help. We also offer fit and style advice to help you look and feel your best while lounging in the sun.
