| Honestly looking on the internet is the best place. My partner tried to find a nice western one (the korean ones tend to be very ugly) and we looked all through Daegu and Busan....the ones on the internet were definately alot better, and cheap. |

I went bathing suit shopping with my girlfriend in January before our tropical vacation.
The basement of Doota has a lot of imported brands of clothes and a store specifically for women's suits.
In Namdaemun, the alley/street behind the camping stores had a couple bathing suit places.
I don't know about facilities for trying them on, they might have dressing rooms, they might not, my girl knew her size. |

I went to Doota and they have TONS of bathing suits...but they are hideous. Big bows and ruffles, gaudy patterns (big cherries, hearts, etc)...they honestly look like bikinis I wore when I was 5 except they have an inch of padding in the top. Most either have string bottoms or ruffled skirts--no other choices. AND--not only that--most were around 70-80,000 won.
How hard can it be to find a NON-crazily padded, sleek black bikini?!??!! |

| I don't know if they deliver to Korea, but Victoria Secret has really cute bikinis for pretty cheap. Check out their website. They're a good fit but they run a little bit big though. So if you're normally a medium you should buy a small. And if you're normally a small buy an xtra small. |

^ VS is cheap now? I remember browsing their catalogue a year or so back and remembered each piece being around $40-60...? All the ones I liked were about $80-90 for both pieces.
I think I'll always be a bit bitter, considering my favorite bikini I got for $10 at H&M. |

| Well Victoria Secret has both cheap and expensive suits. They have a really cute basic triangle bikini for only $19. That includes the top and bottom. That's cheap enough for me! |

| JCPenney's will deliver here and you might have more luck finding a reasonably priced suit. |

| Victoria's Secret does indeed deliver to Korea. I ordered two swimsuits from there last year and they got here with no problem. |

I'm talking in the basement, lowest basement, 2nd floor down basement. I'm talking slender, no frills bikinis being sold in January, not the conservative-style shit being pawned off as fashion in Korea we usually see. |

Fast delivery and not too expensive. I've been ordering swimwear and undergarments from them for the past 4 years here. My first choice by far! |
