I read it was tight so I ordered a 34 instead of a 32 which is usually my size. I find it fits me fine. It is not too tight nor too loose. The fabric is extremely elastic (in a good way) so I don't think a 32 would be too too tight.
It is a good fit overall, but I ordered a few for choice and preferred how I felt with the Panache Sports Bra. It is definitively supportive and reduces bounce well, maybe a tiny bit more than the Panache one. The material also looks really really great.

What I didn't like:
First, the upper hook is very ... difficult to fasten. (It has 2 lines for fastening, both with 2 hooks).
Then, I didn't feel totally comfortable with it. It kind of presses my boobs on top so it doesn't help me getting the rounded shape that I would like. I prefer bras with underwires because the lift my breast up from the bottom.
Also, being non wired it gives you a mono-boob shape that I don't find very flattering.

It is a good bra, great quality, supportive and comfy. I just felt better with the Panache one.

It is fine overall but I am going to order one cup smaller, as I feel it is a bit loose on the top, and I think that makes it less supportive. The band size is perfect. I don't find it too snug as some other reviews said.
Although I haven't tried it at the gym yet, it feels very confortable and supportive enough.
Straps are very well cushioned, so they are really confy. It has "hidden" underwires which is great because it gives lovely shape with 2 separated boobs but it doesn't look like underwear from the outside. It does on the back, which is a common bra ... back with 3 hooks (and an extra clip to make it racerback). The underwires are completely cushioned, they don't dig at all and you don't even fell them. As it says on the label, the breast are encapsulated individually so it gives you better support. I fell very "secured" when I wear it, even though I still feel a bit of bouncing when running in place, but I hope it gets better with one cup size smaller.
Quality looks great.

My only concern is its performance with sweat, because it looks great on the outside, but the padded inside doesn't look very breathable. I will update this when I test it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

It is 49%Polyamide, 38%Polyester, 15%Elastane

I've ordered this one, Freya Active and Shock Absorber and this is one is definitely my favorite and the one I am keeping.

*Update: One cup size smaller was fine for me. I've tried it at the gym and I love it. My concerns about sweating were wrong. I don't get sweaty boobs, probably with the help of the individual encapsulation of the breast, as it avoids rubbing skin between the breasts.
It is supportive enough for fitness, aerobics, etc. Just love it!

Not the right size for me.
The band is OK, quite perfect. But the cups are too small. Massive quadraboob, probably need 2 cup sizes bigger, so I would need to try 32GG.

As for the rest, the bikini top is lovely. Very well made, comfy and beautiful. No complains other than size.

The classic bottom I ordered in M size was a bit too big for my EU38 size. Too much fabric for my taste and the back! It came too high in my back!

I was looking for a good and cheap bikini so I tried ordering my sister size 34F as sometimes a 34 band is fine for me.
No luck at all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It is definitively too big in the band. Also, I have a bit of a quadraboob with the F cup, so probably the right size for me would be 32G.
The centre gore doesn't lie flat and I don't fill the cups in the bottom. I believe this is because the band is too big and the cups rides big.

Otherwise, I found it more beautiful than in the pictures, because the colors ... are brighter. I like this kind of Freya Bandless bikinis because they show more flesh and I like the sun to hit the as much as possible when at the beach.

Although it didn't fit me, it seemed comfy and supportive. The lycra it has is very stretchy.

I also ordered the side tied bottom in a M size and I think it is a bit too big for my EU 38 size. I can tie it firmer but I find Freya bottoms have a bit too much fabric for my beachy taste https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I've had a great disappointment with this bra after reading so many great reviews https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I am going to return it, so I haven't used it while exercicing.
It doesn't fit me at all. I read the band size was too tight and recommended a bigger size, but that is not right for me. I usually wear a 32, sometimes a 34, and in this case the 34 is too big. I put it on the tightest hook (it has 4) and is fine but not too tight. A 32 would have been much better.
I also ordered one cup size bigger than what ... I usually would for what I read on the reviews. The truth is I don't know if it is big or small. The underwires don't sit flat against my sternum, that would tell me the cup size is small, but then I don't fill them on the bottom looking too big for me.
The underwires looked too big from the first glance. And their problem is that they are way too wide. They show behind my arms, and at least for my breast shape go too low also.
Didn't either like the shape it gave me. Totally pointy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The bottom of the wires dig in my ribcage badly, probably because they are too low as I already said, but that makes it totally uncomfortable and I wouldn't be able to run with that pain.

As for the rest, it is supportive and beautiful. Looks like good quality and breathable. It is a good point that it has 4x4 hooks. I don't think it is a bad bra, but unfortunately, it is not for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I ordered a few bikinis from ASOS to try, and this one is the only one that I am thinking of keeping (to be altered to fit, of course!).
First of all, be aware if you order bras or bikinis from ASOS' Spanish web site, as they have converted wrongly the sizes from the British to the Spanish ones. I had to write them an email to warn them of that.

The bikini has a beautiful leopard print and it's basically a bandeau bikini with straps attached. Badly attached, by the way. They are only sewn with a stitch to the fabric (not even to the inside padding).

The top I ... got is a 34F size, and it is not very true to size. I normally wear 32FF or 32G so I thought I would only need an alteration at the back to make it fit. I am going to try that because I can't see to find a bikini with a reasonable price that fits me, but I find the cups too small anyways. They don't give me a quadraboob, but they don't encase my breast or lie flat in my sternum.

Quality is not outstanding. All the fabrics are very basic and it looks like it is going to stretch a lot.

I first ordered (and reviewed) a 32G and it was a bit loose in the cups. This one is a better fit.
I have been wearing it to the gym and I love it. The shape is awesome (I can from home to the gym wearing it under my clothes and I look good), it is supportive and super comfy.

This bikini is really beautiful and good quality. Straps very sturdy, very good quality lycra, and good shape for support.
The raffles are great if you love them, though I'm seriously thinking of cutting them out, as I see my boobs even bigger when I wear it.

About the size, it is probably one size too big in the cups for me. I tried the 32FF and it was too small, though I needed 2 more sizes. I can wear it, but it would probably be better in a 32G.

The firs days wearing it I was very happy, but the more I use it the more uncomfortable I find ... it. I think it's because the cup is too big as I said. The wire seems very big for me, I can't quite fill the bottom and on the side it goes too far away, so it is not the most comfortable bikini ever for me.

If the shape is right for you, the bikini top is awesome. For me, I fond the wires a bit too big, although I use it anyways and I'm not unhappy.

Far to small in the cup for me. Fine in the band. Longer review about the bra on the 32G size, as I tired both.

As I said in my other reviews for Asos Bikinis, the Spanish website has the sizes wrong, so be aware when you buy.
I got a 36E from this bikini top. As I usually wear a 32FF I thought I could make it fit shortening the back but I can't. The cups don't fill me, there are lots of space on the top of the cups. I suppose it is because of my breasts shape because the underwires seem to be a good fit.
I normally don't get well with strapaless bras, and this bikini top is basically a bandeau bikini with straps attached, so it not good for my ... soft breast tissue. Moreover, the cups cut quite lot, so I don't get the support I need.
Anyways, if you could find a sizes that fits you, it is a good bikini. Much more beautiful than the other leopard one (Halter Leopard Fuller Bust Bikini) and the quality is much more better also. This one doesn't look that stretchy, and it has a mesh in the inside to reinforce the band, and also features a rubber band on top and bottom.
