Didn't fit

My bra size is 30GG but the 30GG in this model was absolutely huge on me. Gape city! It might actually be the largest-running bra/bikini I’ve ever tried on. I followed my gut and ordered two cup sizes down, 30FF, and it thankfully turned out to be the right decision. While the gore does not quite tack on the 30FF, it’s close enough, and the cups are about right. A 30G would have been too big.

I don’t love this swimsuit, but I like it okay and will keep it even though it’s not my favorite. The first problem is that Freya bands run loose even in their swimwear line. This 30 band is not really snug at all. As someone who really needs a 28 band, it’s worrisome. I think if it stretches at all while wet, or from use, it will be a no go. Although I will say, this bikini top is one of the more comfortable ones I’ve tried, especially for a halter top, so the the band is probably doing an okay job.

I’m also not super impressed with the quality of Freya’s swimwear. The construction and materials are okay but not outstanding. I get a much better fit from Miss Mandalay swimwear or Panache swimwear, and I think those brands are both slightly better made.

The next problem is the padding. I don’t love it, it’s ever so slightly too thick and bulky. But I do appreciate the nipple coverage.

And finally, I think the cut of this bikini top is just not well thought out. The cups go up very high on the chest and the gore is fairly wide- expecting a very tall and narrow breast shape. A little weird on me because my breasts while fairly tall-rooted, are more round at the bottom and this bikini top does not accommodate roundness super well. I think maybe this cut was first designed for a non-halter bikini top and the halter straps added onto this cut just don’t quite suit it. That’s my theory anyway.

A personal quibble, I don’t actually really like the full-coverage look for bikini tops. I think it makes me look more disproportionate. Smaller cups with less fabric draws less attention to how much I’ve got up top. This is definitely a more full-coverage style, although going down two cups sizes helped a lot.

Overall it’s about a B/B-.
