Hi all,

This is for swimwear but I didn't know where to place this topic, so if anyone would be so kind if I have to move it or relocate it, please let me know.

I just had a terrible experience and now more confused than ever. I look younger than my age so I get looks if I want to get a nice bikini or a bandeau top...

The terrible experience was a saleslady telling me I wasn't small and that I should fit this size 6 top, which said fits 36D cup on the band! I told her I'm not that cup size or that band size... and she kept pushing the product on me. So, I'm a little off put of shopping and kind of really disappointed. Then she told me to shop in the children's store downstairs. I'm getting tired of this... I'm so embarrassed and so bad. Mostly, it's just ignorant salespeople again.

So, does anyone know where I can get a nice smaller bikini that would fit close to a 28B or a 26C cup, or something that can be altered into that. I can't really alter cups all that well... I'm obviously not a size 6. I don't know what size I am in swimwear, but my signature should list my measurements. Is there a specialty petite swimwear shop online that exists or anything?

I will ship product up to Canada if need be and price isn't too much of a trouble.

Thanks so very much for your help!

It's not exactly petite, but you could try looking around for Brazilian cut swimsuits. Those are cut much smaller than American suits, so on us petites they actually fit very well. Rio de Sol makes REALLY cute suits and they list http://www.brazilianbikinishop.com/en/ as one of their online retailers. Their bikinis run from about 40 Canadian dollars and up for the top and bottom as a set. And I can vouch for Brazilian lycra, it's much thicker and nicer than anything we get in the States. Their XS bikinis are right around your measurements. I hope this helps!

I found my most recent swimsuits at Delia's. They have juniors sizing, so things run a little smaller, and lots of styles and colors to choose from. I stuck to solid colors in classic shapes (boy short bottom & halter top) to avoid looking like a teenager.
