After searching for a bikini that provided support, fit and looked cute, I finally found it! This color is beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a muted dusty aqua color with white pinstripes. The inside is lined with a solid color fabric, the cups contain a thin removable foam pad. The center front has a crisscross detail that adds some visual interest to it. The straps are wide and adjust in the back with gold hardware. I love that it has two straps and doesn’t tie around my neck as I find halter styles dig in and end up hurting by the end of my ...outing. The backband is a lace up a style closure with a lace made of the same material that is just shy of half an inch. This style of back makes for easy adjustments to band size. The sides are wide and aid in good support. I also purchased the matching bottoms. The sides of the bottoms have a crisscross style that matches the center of the top. They are low, at least on me. Great top and my new favorite go2 for summer. Read more 85 more words
This is a swim top I found at Target. It's a underwire halter top with highly adjustable straps (which simultaneously tighten the band and neck when pulled); it has push up-type padding in sizes S-XL but has a light foam lining in D/DD. The cups appear seamless from the front but are three part on the inside. The cups are large enough to contain all of my tissue and the mesh front prevents falling out of the top or quadding. The band is a little longer than I'd prefer and the straps are a little thin (and thus dig into my shoulders a bit) but both are minimal problems compared to how flattering and secure it is overall. Easily the best swim top I've ever had.
Overall not a bad bra, and I would never have said otherwise before I learned about UK sizing and breast shapes. The shape of this bra is right for me (I love balcony bras!) and it works for my FoB/full in center breasts. Provides great life without too much projection as well as a nice shape. What I don't like is that the cup is obviously too small for me and I have to wear it without scooping.
Very very cute top, but falls short in the support category for me. I love that the straps are crisscross and doesn’t dig into the neck. The band can also accommodate a wide range of back band sizes. Unfortunately it just didn’t work for my boobs and cut in giving some quadboob while also making them look a little on the saggy side. If you’re in the actual D/DD range this should be a good option for you.
This is a super cute bra that I bought after my breast reduction in the hopes I could now fit into these styles of bras. Unfortunately, I can't! My bust to ribcage ratio is still too large to wear this comfortably. However, the black color is deep and rich, the lace is not itchy, and the sexy straps are soooo cute. I wish it fit me.

Purchased this size on accident. It looked nice and felt comfortable when tried on, but after wearing it out I realized it was definitely too big for me. The band is stretchy. I stretched it to about 33.5" before I worried about stretching it too much. Should fit snug on a true 34 band wearer.
Since I couldn't find a 30D of this bra I went with a 32C. It fit fine in most aspects; I actually fill in the cup which is incredibly rare with my shallow breasts. Unfortunately the underwire isn't wide enough for me, and as much as I'd like to try out a 32D I can't find it in store or online. Bummer!
Xhilaration tackled a problem with the design of this bra that, as far as I know, has never been worked on by any other brand. The band is comprised of two flat, wide bands, like those you would find on a sports bra, with sheer lace in between. This spreads out the footprint of the band considerably versus a narrower band with a top and bottom seam. I think it extends the time you're able to wear this bra comfortably by several hours at least. (I'm noticing this now because I've worn it for three days in a row.) The straps are also satisfyingly soft. Make no mistake, though, ...you still will want to take it off at the end of the day. By late evening, I start to have an awareness of the underwire. With the straps on, it has glued itself to my ribcage in exactly the same place that I put it in the morning. The lace makes it a pretty little bra when worn strapless (definitely a no under see-through light shirts, however), but it will be falling down.
Edit: the gore is nothing but lace and looks like it has the potential to tear easily. Read more 91 more words
The cups are too small and the band is too large for me. While wearing it, I constantly yank on it to adjust the sides because it doesn't provide adequate coverage. I find myself constantly adjusting the straps too as there is no point between too loose and too tight where they don't fall down (though that's just because the bra doesn't fit me). Even for a 34, the band is a bit too stretchy to provide good support, so whenever I wore it, it was always for the cup shape and size boost. The underwires are shorter and have a very wide U shape that's much more accomodating than other pushup bras I've worn, even though the cup isn't big enough for me.
There is about 1/2 inch worth of padding in the cups for pushup and the cups are very firm, giving a round profile. The bra is made of a bright orange-red mesh with orange polka dots, which is cute but it cannot be worn under sheer or light clothing.
Overall not a bad bra, and I would never have said otherwise before I learned about UK sizing and breast shapes. The shape of this bra is right for me (I love balcony bras!) and it works for my FoB/full in center breasts. Provides great life without too much projection as well as a nice shape.

Seems to fit well, certainly doesn't ride up, honestly don't need the shoulder straps, and the cups mostly fit well. I think the cups might be too close set, however it's hard for me to tell because the seams around the ends of the underwire are fairly uncomfortable and feel like it digs in, but the wire itself ends ~1 cm short of where it hurts.
Was one of my favorite lacy cotton t-shirt bras until I grew too big for it. Very comfortable and still in great condition. I only hand wash my bras so it has never been stretched and tossed around in a washing machine.
Cute coral/medium pink bra, same color of lace overlay, slight padding. Band is too big, cups are too small. Clip on strap to convert to racerback. Comfy bra for the most part. Wings are a sheer fabric, lace maybe? Only worn a few times, probably would have kept wearing it if it was the right size. Bra did add anything to my profile, kind of minimized it.
This bra definitely doesn't fit me. It is too small in cup size and the band is too long. It also has a hook in the back to connect the 2 straps, but not using the hook causes it to pull my hair.
This looks so comfortable!
