Pureda California Plunge Bikini Set in Yellow/White Top Size 28FF/G + Matching Brief Size S - This underwired plunge bikini top features lightly padded cups for great shape and support, fully adjustable shoulder straps and a clasp back fastening. The matching brief features good rear coverage, flexible fit and removable side ties. Add a ray of sunshine into the summer in your very own yellow polka dot bikini! With its lightly padded plunging shape and low centre front, the contrasting gingham check straps and tie detail make this bikini set super sassy without having to compromise on that all important support.

Please note that the tags of the bikini top state size 30F however the cups are generous and run approximately one size large. As such the Bravissimo customer service team advised me to choose one cup size down from my standard 30FF and the cups proved to be a perfect fit. In addition to which I had the original 30 band (which was very generous) professionally altered and the result is a 28" or firm 30" due to the highly stretchy nature of the fabric. Therefore this is best suited for those of you whom wear a tight 30 band + FF cup or the sister size down of 28FF/G. If you currently wear 30FF and are borderline 30" and prefer tight bands then this would be a suitable option.

Pureda is my swimwear brand of choice and as such I have extensive experience with the brand. Prior to changing cup size I previously purchased 3 Pureda bikini sets in size 30F. I can confirm that the cups of this Pureda top are definitely larger in dimension and cut much deeper than that of my other 30F's and the discrepancy in size is clearly visible. The original 30" band compared against a Freya 30" bikini top definitely measured larger in the band. I have measured the altered band as follows. Unstretched in a resting position from clasp to clasp measures exactly 60cm which converts to 23.5". Fully stretched to the maximum length from clasp to clasp measures exactly 82cm which converts to 32". Unfortunately there is not enough fabric to be let out of the band should you feel so inclined. It would be ideal for you to compare these measurements against one of your newer best fitting bikini tops, as this will be the best method in determining if this well be a good fit for you.

This retro set was purchased immediately upon the launch of the Bravissimo Summer 2010 Collection and proved to be an immensely popular style and rapidly sold out across the size range. This rare collectors item is BNWT RRP £46 + the cost of alterations. Bag a bargain and treat yourself to this stylish holiday essential!
