Their tops remind me of a much more affordable agent provocatuer. http://www.agentprovocateur.com/us-main-nav/swimwear.html

DANG just checked out the cheaper site..... $500.00 for a swimsuit? Wowzeers! I have a hard time spending $50.... Fun looking though.
The 500 a suit is not the cheaper site...it is awesome stuff but too expensive for me lol
But have you seen Aerial Amy in her Agent Provocateur?
No, but I would like too!
Sorry, Amy...I am posting all sorts of pics of you. You should seriously be a model for AP! http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/22200_487875821254434_1253268096_n.jpg
DAMN AMY.....thats hot!!!! Those suits looks super on you. Now, do you think if I spent that kind of money on one, I could look that good? I would buy about 10 in that case....lol.

lol! I was just thinking the same thing Lyme - maybe that's why they're so expensive??
No, Amy is just a sexy beast.
I love the bras on MICHI - definitely pricey but a more realistic option to save towards than AP (which I have been lusting after ever since seeing that last pic of Amy!)
Woohoo! The boots with the fishnet Amy is wearing in the first pic came from my boutique http://www.houseofcherry.com! ; Here's a link to the boots. http://www.houseofcherry.com/winter/
Also, for you Michi lovers, Natasha Wang wore one of their sports bras on her Vertical Magazine cover. http://natashawang.comhttps://pub-a085b59791bc4c1a94b0a223a67a37d6.r2.dev/wp-uploads/2011/06/vertical.jpg

Does anyone know of any pole wear with bra support for a girl with a 32 F/FF? I'd like something cute. Lol have a big ole shock absorber and fig leaves sports bra. Thanx!
Good luck with that, Ajrt. I've been barking up that tree for a while and discussed it in the forums, and the consensus seems to be that the mainstream polewear providers (Mika, Bad Kitty, bodybinds, etc) don't take us larger girls into consideration. Finding something that fits, provides support, gives adequate coverage, and is as cute as what the skinny-mini dancers get to wear...next to impossible. You can get some of those qualities, but not the whole package. I've resorted to wearing less-than-ideal tops over my sports bras for at least *some* sense of cuteness. This is bitter of me to say but it often feels like the clothing industry is repulsed by the idea of bigger ladies being sexy and outright refuses to service us. OR they offer a larger size of a cute bra/top without giving any thought to support, which to me is like paying lip service. "Yeah, we hear your complaints, here's the best we can do, deal with it. If it doesn't work... well, too bad for you I guess, maybe you should be smaller." There's an enormous business opportunity here for the right person.

If you have larger breasts check out vertical edge clothing! I met the owner at Midwest last year and bought a couple of things - I noticed everything was sized up. Normally I'm a small - medium but with VE I'm an XS. They have real sizes and have rather large sports bras. My friend is on the top heavy side and she loves her VE stuff. http://ontheverticaledge.com/
@Pankake, you haven't had any luck with Mika? Seems like some of their tops are specifically designed for women with larger chests.
From what I've seen, Mika only services up to a 36DD. I am 38 DD and took chance on the "Curvaceous" Tula Top. When I got it, I almost laughed. Those teeny-tiny straps sure do look cute, but they do NOTHING for holding up heavy breasts, and there was not nearly enough fabric to cover me. If I wore it without a bra underneath (The way the models on the site do) and tried to pole, or even just to do yoga, I'd be popping out all over the place. That's what I mean about clothing companies that "try" to offer larger sizes without understanding that larger-chested girls need more than just a few more inches of fabric. (Note: I am not bad-mouthing Mika here. It's a quality product and I wear it over a plain black sports bra for a little extra flair. I take responsibility for ordering a product that I suspected wouldn't fit anyway. I am disappointed, but I don't really blame Mika, nor am I encouraging anyone to NOT buy Mika. Just, large-chested buyer beware.) Looking at the tops on Vertical Edge right now, I see the exact same problem on several of them - teeny tiny straps that just don't size up. Leaving me with the Vamp (which could work but I'm skeptical that the solid black bandeau will actually cover enough breast) and the Covergirl Mesh which, in my opinion, looks awful. Or at least, would look awful on my body. Mesh + belly flab is not a flattering look. What I'd REALLY love to see is actual plus-size/DD+ *models* on these sites, modeling the larger sizes. It's tough for me to look at picture of a super fit B-cup model in a size S or M and try to figure out if the XL will actually work for me. It's little things like this that make me feel marginalized as a DD+ woman.
At any rate, I don't mean to thread-jack this topic with my whining. I'm just frustrated. I am a very frugal person and hate to plop down $45 on something just to find out it's not going to work for me. And I should also say that other Veeners, azblanco and portableninja (I think), have ordered and worn Mika tops without too much problem.

What about Sweet Vixen Couture? They have nice styles and the sizes o up to XXL which means 52" bust. They also look very supportive, check out the Racer Back, Kiss or Alicia. They also have very nice 1-piece styles. You can choose the top and bottom size seperatly! And you can still wear a good multiway bra underneath. (That's what I do - I don't have really big breasts but I like it when the movement is reduced to a minimum.)
