i'm 5'2" i weigh about 100 pounds, going into 8th grade, and i'm almost completely flat chested. when i went swimsuit shopping, i tried the girls section, but all the suits were too small, (i was looking for a one piece) the straps didn't reach up far enough and it wouldn't cover my chest, but the butt was sagging. i looked in juniors, but all the suits were padded, i tried on a 0 and it was too big. i tried many different brands and many different stores and nothing fit! please tell me theres someone out there with the same problem! if you have any suggestions i would really appreciate them, and 10 points to the best answer!

well im 5'2-4" and like 100 pounds and going into 7th grade. the girls dont fit me either so i just got a juniors that fit me best and took out the padding.
normally they have little openings where the padding is. (its on 2 piece not sure about 1 piece)
or if you want a one piece try dick's sporting goods they have a lot of one piece speedoes that are adult and not padded.

I've got the opposite thing, I'm overendowed. But two piece tankinis have been my friend, since you can get two different sizes. The tankinis do cover your tummy, and they've been fine for normal swimming. If you do diving or something, you might need to go to a specialty sports store.
You might try looking at Lands End, they used to do mail-order and had an online sizing thing you fed your measurements into.
If you can sew, lycra/spandex swimsuit material is available at the store and you can fit the pattern to your measurements (I recommend Palmer-Pletsch fit method). The only thing is you need to be careful NOT to stretch the fabric as you stitch, and I would definitely reinforce seams.
This isn't that helpful, I know, but good luck.

You need to either go to a specialty swim suit shop or you could a store that sells two piece suits by the individual piece. That way you can buy a top that fits and then get a bottom that fits. It is what worked for my girls when they were your age.

What size are you normally? in bottoms? After you figure that one out look for separtes at somewhere like Kohls or Marshalls, I've found some of my best swim suits at Marshalls. Then just find one that looks good and feels good. I think since your figure seems it isn't off the rack, you might want to get separtes, I do. Sometimes I even alter my own tops to fit me better. I'm sure you can find someone that can sew to help you out too! GOod Luck! I know swimsuits are hard to find, Luv~Carly

You could try a 2 piece. There are many kinds where you can mix and match the tops to find ones that fit you. There are also some 2 pieces that have longer tops that cover your stomach if you are worried about that. Good luck!

Did you try the Gap? They might have a swimsuit in the girls section that fits you well.

Try something that ties like a halter top. This really helps!

When you go to the store ask for help from the salesclerk, she should be able to help you
