This was my 2nd order from Asos, so I knew by then to size up. If they'd had it, I would have ordered a 30I (UK 30G) since I know they run small, but 30H (UK 30FF) was the biggest available so I gave it a shot.
Ya know, it's not so bad. This is my favorite of the 3 Asos Swim tops I've tried. It's a little small on me, but the bigger problem is how shallow it is. It's a molded cup, so I expected that, and since my standards for a wearable swim top have sunk so low by this point, I really ... can't complain. But the wires aren't in my IMF, they kind of hover just below it.
If I don't fully s&s, it looks about perfect, but I notice the fit issues - the gore doesn't tack, the band is too big. If I do s&s, the wires comes closer to my IMF and while I don't fall out, there's more noticeable boob-age going on and the gore floats even worse. The greatest thing about this top is the wide halter ties that run up the sides of the cup. They contain the side-boob I have as a result of this being about half a cup too small. I did take a picture while I was scooped n swooped and noted that on the pic.
I love the vintage 50's style, the kind of pin-up model feel it has. I love the color combo. I can tighten the band. If it were a bra, it would be returned immediately. But it's not, so it'll serve its purpose.
