  1. Bamboo Island Soft Triangle Bikini Top (9463)

    34E

    Didn't fit

    Considering this was made in 2009 and the elastic is firm, I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality. I appreciate Asian design and this fabric print caught my eye.

    On me 32F Atlantis (2016 Freya Tirangle Bikini) is too much coverage for my short-waisted physique. 34E Bamboo Island is less coverage than I prefer, but it looks more like a typical bikini fit. It is important to note, this bikini top is significantly more shallow than 2016's Atlantis Triangle Bikini top. This 34E is a sister size to my 32F Atlantis: I quad significantly in Bamboo Island but not at all in Atlantis. Another difference is apparent in the ... seams. Atlantis's seams are very prominent whereas Bamboo Island's seams are more subtle. The band is twice as wide (.8") on Bamboo Island when compared to Atlantis's .4" band. I'll let you guess which band is more supportive https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> Finally, this 34E band stretches to just 32". 32F Atlantis stretches to 32", too. Bamboo Island, in this size range, is one full cup smaller and one band size smaller than Atlantis.

    I've failed to find a lightweight, supportive bra for summer. And, I am resorting to Freya triangle, bikini tops for support and nipple armor; hoping they effectively manage perspiration. They are beautiful, comfortable, and supportive. I'll sew the halter straps to the band and merrily wear these as bras. The lift provided by these wireless triangle bikinis is significantly better than wired bras provide for my close-set, center-full breasts. And, there is no pain, heat, or swelling. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

    EDIT: After an hour, it was too small, but 32F Atlantis fits well.

    • That is a lovely print! Great fit too. Next time I need a bikini top I'll have to look through Freya's offerings.

      Ebay has a few for less than $20, including shipping.

  2. Calamity Banded Halter Bikini Top (3587)

    This swim top fits great and is very comfortable. It has enough coverage and support for larger women while still managing to be flattering. Make sure you buy the right size though. If it is a bit big, you will have pointy boobs!

    Someone just pointed out that it didn't look like it was fitting me correctly. I'd forgotten the underwire does not sit flat on this one. The other four like it I own do so I assumed it was a flaw in this one. I'm glad they pointed it out and am happy to share that tidbit with everyone.

      I think you need a bigger cup size! It doesn't look like you are tacking properly.

    • Does that mean because the wires aren't sitting flat? I agree, they are not and I'm not sure why. The other four I own all sit flat and I assumed it was a flaw in this one. I got it for a great price and it is comfortable so I kept it. The cups themselves are about perfect - snug with no muffin-top or gaps.

      Yup! I noticed the same thing on the Cherish you reviewed. I think for a better fit you should go down in the band and up in the cup. :) Maybe even two cups.

      Basically the whole cup should encase your breast tissue... with the underwire resting in your underbust crease!

      Looks like the Pier I have is right. And as I mentioned in the post, it is a bit more snug. I appreciate your insight.

    I now own five Freya halter bikini tops (two Cherish, one Pier, one, Charleston and one Calamity) and all of them are awesome! This one is no exception. The fit is perfect and provides enough coverage and plenty of support. Did I mention how flattering this top is? My husband, who seldom has an opinion on my swimsuits, saw the first one I bought and he bought me the next three because he thought they looked so good. That's the best testimonial I can provide. This top is very comfortable and supports nicely. I would buy any of these Freya tops again!

      It is very cute. :)

    • Does this brand put underwires in their swim tops? Because I am pretty close to that size myself, and I was just wondering. I would prefer a bra and swim top without wires, even with the added support they provide, because I hate wearing a bra as it is.

    • Oops, new to the site, and just read the post below. That answered my question, but thanks anyway!

    I love this swimsuit top. It is very comfortable, has great coverage (not too much or too little) and stays put in and out of the water. I have several Freya halter swim tops all in the same size. The Pier seems to run just a bit smaller. It fits but is a bit more snug than the others - mostly in the band.

    • I *want* one of these! Not that I have anywhere to wear it, mind you. *grin*

    This top did not fit at all. While it fit more so at the bottom of the cup, I did not fill out the top. The band size was good.
