Didn't fit

This is the second bikini set I got from rachaelll, and like the Bondi set, I just had to make a few alterations which drastically improved the fit for me!

The top, being a 30F, was far too big in the band for me to begin with, especially since I bought this to be worn strapless (there are however loops to connect straps if desired). So, I ripped out all the seams that connected the band with the clasps and I pulled the band further through the clasps until I thought it would be tight enough for me, then I stitched the band in place and cut off the excess. I think I could've used a tiny bit more ease in the band, but it's not too uncomfortable, even after I've worn it for several hours and gone swimming and whatnot.
Other than the band, the rest of the fit is pretty good. I'm impressed with the amount of projection in the cups, and the gore actually tacks (unlike my Cleo Lucille bandeau)! The cups are a little closed on top, and although I do get a tiny bit of bulging above the cups, it's not noticeable IMO. The only thing that could be better in terms of fit is that the wires are quite wide on me, but this doesn't affect my comfort at all.

As for the bottoms, they were pretty baggy on me to begin with, but I took them in at the side seams, which tightened them right up. I wore this suit to the beach for several hours and both sunbathed and went swimming, and it was only due to some really strong waves that I ever felt I was in danger of being exposed due to the top sliding down, but it was easy enough to pull it back up.

Overall I'm really happy I purchased this set, because now I know that it's possible for me to alter a strapless swimsuit and make it work for me, and I'm also really happy that I learned that Freya's strapless tops fit better for me (and probably a lot of other folks) than Cleo's.

PS. If you come to the full information page for this bikini, you can see all the photos I've added, including some of the alterations I made. (Sorry I didn't take any before photos).
