Hasn't set fit
The reviews on Bravissimo's own site included people who had gone up 1, 2 or even 3 cup sizes in this bikini top, so I ordered both 30J and 30JJ rather than 30HH to try. This 30JJ is too large - there is a bit of looseness in the top of the cups, and they come up far too high on me. The wires are also much wider than I need. However the 30J is too small, still with excessively wide wires! So clearly the shape doesn't work for me. I wouldn't be surprised if that was most of the reason others needed larger cups, too. The top of the cup is very closed off and I think it will cut in and cause quadding for people who aren't mostly or entirely bottom-full, unless you size up.
There are differences between the 30J and 30JJ - the larger bra is not just made of the same shaped bits of cloth cut slightly larger. Someone has put in some thought and decided to make the gore narrower in the larger cup size and the wing more substantial. I have attached photos to show the diffences. In this top the wing extends sideways from the top of the underwire, then slopes down to the clasp only after the place where the shoulder strap is attached. In the smaller top the wing is triangular, and there is no bra band at all under the underwires. This 30JJ certainly isn't a longline, but it does have a little bit of band - about a centimeter - down below the underwires.
I think the 30J would be more comfortable for me if they made these changes at this level, but they must have decided J is too small to need them.
