After I saw this beauty on bratabase I had to get it in my hands! I must admit - it runs one cup bigger, so 32D wasnt a bad choice This bikini as for padded top has narrow wires, which is good. However the cups are like too deep in the middle so with combination of sizing down should be okay. It is kind of okay. When I put it on it looks good, the band is perfect for few mins and then its stretching making little too loose but still secure, unfortunately also theres sliding down as it in 30DD - it's the construction and my rib cage. And when it slides, the cups cutting in and I feel empty space in the middle, also I could see that wires were much lover than they should I am so annoyed as its so pretty!! Looks great on my pale skin but with these issues it's impossible to wear it (unless if I'd use it only for laying down..)

I used to own this bikini as a normal two piece suit - it didnt work for some reason (dont remember exactly). This suit actually fits well but its not my style... I love the white polka dot on navy fabric pattern. Also this swimsuit is made of two layers of material. Underneath there's mesh 'longline' bra without boning, band is kind of stretchy comparing to my Veronica tankini, however it feels nice and comfy on the body. The mesh finishes where the 'panties' starts. The top layer covers the cups and ends below pants - looking like a mini dress. The back its all made of 1 ...layer of spotty fabric. The wires are 13cm wide. The channels are actually kind of long and is impossible to push the wires down from the gore - so if you need really short gore - it may not work completely - but! the gore is also not too high. I dont like the halterneck style as my neck is sensitive on any pressure put on it - so im trying to avoid any halterneck bikinis but i really wanted to try this swimsuit! I am just 157cm and this swimsuit will work also on taller girls as I could easily pull it down a bit. Read more 105 more words
Excellent quality! I really like this swim top, it's super cute. Unfortunately, it's the wrong shape for me. The top is much too closed and the cups are too deep for my shallow breasts (especially the smaller one). I would recommend it for someone with less upper fullness and more projection.
Very quick review - I can't measure the band length because the band is attached inside the tankini. The band seems to be TTS or a little tight for a 34 band, and thus is too large for me (32GG is my best UK size).
The cups are narrow, fairly projected, and quite low cut. I am pretty happy with the fit of the bust portion, though the top of the gore pushes out above where the underwires end.
The stomach portion is too tight for me to be comfortable wearing it. I am a US 12 dress size (UK 16).
This is a very comfortable swimsuit for the most part. It has very good support and the underwire doesn't dig in at all. The cups are unlined, so you don't have to squeeze out a gallon of water from your boobs to dry out. The material is thick enough and the pattern is busy enough to prevent cold nipples from noticeably showing through. I like it because it's a "modest" choice for when I feel like I need to cover up a little more. Because the neckline covers my cleavage, I know I won't be spilling out of the top. The sides cut into my underarm a little bit, which gets annoying when I notice it, but it's not unbearable. I could see it causing problems if I did a lot of moving around in it. It's also kind of a pain to get on and fasten. since it's basically a bra sewn into a tankini top so the clasps are hidden under a layer of fabric.
This is a pretty good bikini top. It fits and supports better than most of my actual bras. I feel confident that I will not fall out of it no matter how big the waves are. The cups do cut into the top of my breasts a little, but it's not uncomfortable and barely noticeable. I feel more comfortable with a bikini top that gives you a little quad-boob since it feels like it's definitely trying to keep my scandalous nipples hidden. The underwire does dig into my ribcage a little, so it does get a little uncomfortable after a while, but it's a swimsuit so I won't ...be wearing it all day. The clasp in the back is not adjustable, so the band size is limited unless you want to alter. Straps are fully adjustable and 0.5in thick. Not great if you're worried about thick-ish tan-lines, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made for support. The cups are unlined, but they have two layers of fabric; a stretchy mesh on the inside, and regular nylon swimwear material on the outside. Read more 72 more words
I haven't worn this in water yet but I like it. Affordable and it fits really comfortable. The wires sit flat, the underwire ends low and far back enough that they don't cut into my skin. There is no support for the tummy area (sometimes bathing suits are snug enough and made with thick enough material to hide or suck in bulges a little-this one does not). It's a tiny bit too small to fully encase me but I don't look vulgar and I think it should be fine for the pool at the gym.
Wires: The sides (wire) are very tight. They seem to cut into the tissue. After 10/20 minutes it's starting to hurt. They are two narrow and possibly too short.
Gore: This little non-removable strap is holding on the front decoration. I'm worried it might upset the fit. Aside from that, the gore seems flat. It is not too wide or too narrow. The bottom digs into my skin a little when I lean down and then straighten.
Cups: There is gapping directly under the straps and at the inframammary fold (2 inches-ish? I measured, but my fingers holding the tape in place might have upset the measurement), although ...at the bottom the material presses against my chest, wrinkling. My breasts are spilling out the tops of the cup.
Straps: The width of the straps are fine, they're about 1.5 inches wide and I like them. They feel too far apart, but I might just be used to close straps, it isn't uncomfortable. I wish they adjusted to a little shorter, but again, it isn't uncomfortable. The back seems to be riding up just a tiny bit in the back, although that might just be how I put it on.
Comfort: My mid-back aches. I can't wait to get this off. It feels fairly supportive. I have slight quad-boob.
I like having tight bands on swimwear because they do stretch out and I swim laps so I need everything tamped down. I also have this in a 40H and the 38HH is the same fit in the cup but a better band so my breasts don't swish around under water. However, I have been swimming in the 40H every other day or so in a chlorinated pool for six months and it still works, although it's looking shabbier at this point. I'm very impressed with that quality as chlorination destroyed my Fantasie swimwear quicker. Breasts look fairly high and round although there is ...no liner or sling inside so they are lower and I get a bit of east west action. Also this has a wider gore than my other panache products and the wires sometimes cross on top, which I don't care about because it's swimwear. Definitely a full cup fit so if you're looking for a sexy swim bra, this is not it. Instead, it's the most practical thing ever for laps. I would not want to wear it all day tanning however, because the straps are very narrow and cut in. I buy Forever 21 high waisted bottoms to go with it in various colors and voila most practical swimwear ever, everything stays in place while I'm swimming. Read more 127 more words
I bought this bikini top about a year ago, wore it once, didn't even swim and then lost a bunch of weight so it's now horribly too big. It was comfortable and gave good coverage. If I could find it in my new size I would buy it again in a heart beat
Fits true to size. Cut and shape are very Panache-style. Like in the Sports bra, the underwires don't reach the top of the center gore. This means that I have a sort of a gap there, but not disturbingly so - I'll just need to add a few stitches to make the button embellishment look better and not hanging all over the place.
The bikini top's mostly comfortable to wear and stays on even with moderate activity (I tried aqua jogging, and my bikinis weren't an issue!). The straps, however, are narrow. They tend to flip over and twist, which makes them even narrower and may cause irritation.
If the straps were better and the center part didn't gap, I'd give this bikini top 5/5. Currently, 4/5 tops.
Love, love, love the swan back on this top! It's can be a pain to put on, and it's not adjustable, but it hides back fluffiness waaaaaaay better than a regular bikini/bra band. It provides excellent support, making me wonder why all strapless bras aren't made this way. The red, white & blue pattern is very classy and the bottoms are available in a few different styles so you can choose the amount of coverage. The shoulder straps are removable and convertible from regular to halter. It runs on the firm side in the band and a generous in the cup. I have/had multiple sizes of this top because I like it so much, and I recommend sizing up in the band for comfort and down in the cup for aesthetics.
Gave pretty good shape for a swimwear top. My boobs were extremely dense and heavy at the time but it did a fairly good job at holding them up without hurting my neck. No longer fits due to reduction.
Initially I got this bikini top in 30E but the cups were ridiculously too small and I ordered 2 cup sizes up. It is such a lovely b.top but the cups are a shape mismatch for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think they are too deep for me, I don´t fill the cups at the bottom and they "collapse". Other than that I would love the bikini. The band is good and snug, I usually wear 28 bands in bras.
