- I can fasten it, but it feels too tight

Didn't fit
30DD is the second out of three sizes I tried this bikini top in.
Turns out, the 30 band is unexpectedly too small. It cuts into my ribcage (my ribcage is 29" measured loosely), the underwires dig into my ribs, and the top leaves red marks against my skin even after very short periods of wear.
The cups fit well, and thus run large in my impression. As I'm usually wearing 30E as a cup size, I'd say they fit larger due to the slightly stretchy fabric and the open cups.
If in doubt or between band sizes, definitely size up in the band with this bikini. Consider a smaller cup size if you a) prefer a low-cut cup, b) don't have a 100% projected shape.
That being said, the bikini top looks nice and classy, I love the blue-ish shades and the contrasting black seams. By far one of my favourites from Freya's swimwear line.lagoon colorway
