Bathing Suits for Busty Girls

Big Boob Filter: Where in LA can I find a swimsuit to cover my 36Gs?
You would think that finding a bathing suit in sunny Southern California would be easy, but no. My bra size is a 36G/H (depending on the style/brand) so I definitely need some support from my swimwear. A wire is a definite must, and the suits made for D cups simply aren't going to cut it.
If I were still in the UK I would simply pop in to my local Bravissimo and pick up something there. I know I can mail order from them or Figleaves, but I would rather go to a brick and mortar store so I can have it sooner than later.
Any suggestions?

BiggerBras.com has some truly fabulous swimsuits, and they offer overnight shipping.

I'm not busty, but my friend who is swore by the resources here, which include the BiggerBras site mentioned above.
Nice webcomic too.
(This same friend also used Fredericks alot, although she said as she got older the styles just didn't fit her personality anymore. YMMV.)

The Wizard of Bras! It's in the San Gabriel Valley (Monrovia), not L.A. proper, but they have some ok stuff there. The website is fairly disorganized, but the store might have more of a selection.

Response by poster: I have purchased bras from Fredericks in the past, but I don't remember seeing swimsuits in the store. I'll take another look and see what they have.

Response by poster: I checked Fredericks and they do not carry swimsuits.
