I ordered this tankini in 30E because 28F (or 28FF, my usual Panache size) was not available or they don´t make it. I have found that in swimwear 30 band is usually tight enough.

The tankini is okay, fits okay and all, but it is very difficult to put on and to take off! (plus some additional complaints, see further...). You have to pull your hands, head and shoulders through it which means you have to stretch it to the maximum. I wish the tankini had a "hole" in the back, like the Isobel or Veronica swimsuits do, it would make it much easier to put it on. The ... wires are in the way when dressing this on and off. But if one makes it (imagine taking it off while wet... horror), it is a nice looking tankini. If one has hips small enough maybe you could pull it on from there but I have absolutely no chance of doing it.

Straps adjust all the way and they are removable in the back which means you can fasten them racer back. I did have some difficulties with straps staying put, they tended to come off by themselves while putting the tankini on... so beware.

The cup-part which is underneath the top layer, fits me perfectly. Wires are wide enough and cups the right volume. It closes like a normal bra, 3 x 2 hooks + eyes. The only problem is that if I close it to the tightest hooks, then the upper layer of the tankini cloth wrinkles in the back.

This is a tankini top that has an underwired inner layer. It fits me nicely, the wires are wide enough and cups are the right size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Straps are fully adjustable and they come off at the back, so you can cross them in the back.

However, there are some fit issues. The way the straps are positioned where they start at the front side, they should be crossed in the back. I guess this was meant to wear like that. When I wear the inner bra hooks in the tightest rows the fit is very good on me, but then the outer ... layer gapes at the back side!! It is as if the inner layer and the outer are not the same size. If I wear the straps non-crossed, the gaping lessens, but then the starting point of straps at the front side gaps!! If you know what I mean. If I wear the straps crossed and loosen them all the way, the gaping is not that bad, but then I loose the support https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

So this tankini is not designed very well. But other than that, I like it! The colour is great and at least the inner bra part feels comfortable and supportive. This really wold be perfect if there were not thos things I mentioned with the fit!
Oh, and the "usual" size for is 28F. Some 30E´s are good, too, when in the tightest hooks or in the middle hooks, but definitely I prefer 28.
