Bathing Suits for Small Busts: Swimwear That Lifts You Up

Sometimes, you want a little extra lift. And there’s nothing wrong with choosing swimwear that gives you that subtle, confidence-boosting something. That’s why our collection of bathing suits for small busts is designed to enhance what you’ve got, no pushy padding or awkward shaping required.

From lightly padded swimsuits to clever ruching and curve-defining seams, our bust-enhancing swimwear gives you shape, style and that “oh wow” feeling without looking like you borrowed someone else’s bust line. Because the best swimwear for small busts doesn’t try to change you. It just highlights the best parts and lets you feel great doing it.  

Our Styles Work Smarter

There’s more to our bust-enhancing swimwear than meets the eye—though yes, what meets the eye is pretty great. At Lands’ End, we use thoughtful styling details to naturally flatter smaller busts.

Think sweetheart necklines that draw the eye upward, gentle gathers and shirring that create the illusion of fullness and smart seam placement that adds dimension exactly where it counts. Our padded swimsuits are designed to lift and contour, not overwhelm—because swimwear for small busts should feel effortless, never engineered. Every stitch is intentional. Every silhouette is designed to celebrate you.


More Styles, More Ways to Feel Amazing

A suit that fits well is one thing—but a suit that fits you? That’s where the magic happens. Alongside our swimwear for small busts, we offer a full range of women's swimsuits designed to flatter, support and make you feel completely at home in your skin (and your suit).

Flattering Bikini Tops

Yes, you can wear a bikini top and love how it fits. Our flattering bikini tops are made with shape-defining details and subtle padding that bring balance and beauty to smaller busts—no slip, no gape, no second-guessing. 

Petite-Friendly Fits

For women who are smaller all around, our petite swimwear is thoughtfully proportioned for shorter torsos and more petite frames. It’s swimwear that actually fits where it’s supposed to—so you’re not left adjusting straps, retying halters or wondering why every “small” still feels too big. 

Bust-Enhancing Tankini Tops

Looking for a little extra shape without sacrificing comfort? Our bust-enhancing tankini tops feature smart style lines, molded cups, and subtle padding to create a naturally lifted look. Details like sweetheart necklines, twisted fronts and strategically placed ruching help draw the eye upward and enhance your shape—no wires required.
