I was surprised to find this bikini top to fit as well as it does. The band is looser than I would normally want for a bra, but I think it's more aesthetically appropriate on my squishy ribs than a properly supportive band would be since it's a swim suit.

The lift offered by the cup shape is nothing to write home about, and I would bet that a person with less upper fullness than me would get a way better silhouette. I feel like gives me a more downward pointing shape than a different cut or sturdier material might, and that a lot of the support actually comes from the straps because the cup material is so stretchy. This too is problematic because the straps are made of the same stretchy material.

Ultimately it's a great top for lazing around on the beach, especially if you want a shape that is more true to your natural bust. I love the color and the feel of the material, even if the stretch doesn't do as much for lift as I'd normally like. I plan to pair it with high waist bikini bottoms :]
