   Hi NansiSews,

   You might try this website:

   I see cups and underwires but no pre-underwired cups (if that makes sense).

   Thanks, JT.  I also found something similar.  I suppose I can just add the underwire to one of the cup styles.  It just seems like there ought to be some ready to go.  Maybe another loss to lack of demand.  I keep finding that in the sewing clothing realm.

   Any suggestions for those of us who are (un)lucky enough to need a DD cup? It is hard to find a ready made swimsuit with enough support. I'm pretty tiny, but big busted. I wear size 6 slacks in RTW, so when I try to find a swimsuit its like I'm trying to find a suit for 2 different sizes.

   Thanks.  I did send them an email asking if they have them.  I also told them that, speaking for myself and friends of the more ample bosomed set, we DON'T want extra padding, just extra support.  I DO NOT understand why they insist on selling the larger size cups with all the extra padding and/or stiffness.  Same goes for bra manufacturers.  Good quality support fabric should be the key or am I missing something?

   Joy, thanks. I have you in my resource list.  As for my friend, she it the bullet and paid big bucks for a new RTW suit as she was leaving on a cruise.  She may still have me do one for the summer pool season.
