This is a very comfortable bikini top but has very, very shallow cups. You can see the outline of my nipple piercing through it if that is of concern.

Great fitting band - a nice firm 32. I found the cups were simply too shallow and didn't provide me with enough coverage (basically it was nipple coverage and no more).
I wonder if you're meant to wear this with your boobs squished together because that's the way they settle after a few minutes wear. The centre gore isn't really dividing anything (at least not on me!)
Again I think I would have been happier if they made this 1 or 2 cup sizes bigger.
The longline design means there's about one inch of fabric under the cups. This holds straight somewhat because there's vertical boning right under each boob. I'm not sure it would stay comfortable for long - at about 5 min in the boning buckled and pushed right into my ribs. Ouch.
I think, in a dark colour, the extra length from the longline style just makes it look like I have bigger boobs.
Not keeping.

I really need a 30GG bikini, but I ordered almost every 32G cup bra that Asos has available on its website. They do not make any 30GG bikini tops, unfortunately. What they do make is very affordable fashion bikinis up to a G cup.
This one is the most flattering (to my mind) and the one I'm most likely to keep.
The band feels like a 32, and the cup feels like a very shallow G. Every bikini, this one included, seemed to track fairly wide with the underwires quite far apart at the center and travelling further towards my back than I'd like. Due the shallow cups, and the ... wide set design, the underwire doesn't really cling to my rib cage.
If this was a bra, I'd NEVER buy it. It feels more like I'm wearing a 34FF.
The upside is that the materials seem to be of good quality. Not excellence, but good. The design is trendy. The print looks great next to my fair/med skin tone.
The briefs I'm wearing here are the "Paisley Print Tab Side Bikini Pant - 8" and they're great - they don't show my bikini line and they cling to my bum without feeling like they're going to creep up/in constantly. A big part of why I'm keeping the set.

Adorable print and cute retro style -- would be perfect for me if only the top fit. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I love the secure feeling of the sling style halter neck.

Doesn't fit AT ALL. I guess the cup size runs way too small. There is plenty of room in the band, might even say it runs a little big. Poor quality material

Band size fairly true to size. Cups waaay too small. Didn't look good.

The bust fits perfectly, my boobs weren't to close together or too far apart. The band is quite tight (Too tight to wear after a big dinner!) which is the only con!

I bought this bikini thinking I bought a UK 30G, but it was a US 30G and thus about two sizes too small. However, I like it a lot and am planning to return it and get a 34G and alter the band (which seems doable since it doesn't have any underwires that could disort). The cups and band are reasonably sturdy (I don't think the cups will become see-through when wet) and the halter straps aren't flimsy but they hurt my neck when i tied them too tight (since the cup was too small, I had to tie them very tight to csecure my breasts, which is ... a common problem with halternecks of course, but probably not very suited for larger busts. The band is very thin, and I doubt it will support a very large bust too. The lift I get is okay, not amazing but that is to be expected of a bikini top without underwire. It gives amazing cleavage, but because of the too small cups it was way too much on me and looked trashy in my opinion (though if that's what you're looking for: go for it!). The band was very tight, it was snug on my 25 inch underbust, but it will probably get looser when swimming. Still, you might want to size up if you're on the larger end of your band size. The top was super pretty! I loved the wrinkles on the cup and the fabric glittered very subtly in the light which I thought was a nice touch

Too tall for me, but otherwise a great and functional bikini top - great value for it's price. The band runs small.

I have quite shallow breasts and the shape of this bikini top simply didn't work for me. Because the straps are attached to the cups so far out (wide) the support wasn't coming from where I needed it and I ended up with weird gaps in the cups near the center gore. The gore wouldn't stay flat either because the wire on one side kept turning perpendicular to my skin, adding to the strange gapping on that side. I typically wear a 30E so I attempted that size and a 30DD and had the same problem with both.
I think I just needed a much more full-on-top shape to have any hope of this fitting properly. Unfortunate because the red/orange colour I ordered was gorgeous.

Great swim top, but just a bit too small for me. I was in denial about being a 30E I suppose and bought this. Really comfortable band though, just spilled over the cups too much

Really annoying bra... I sized up to a sister size hoping to just shorten the band. It ended up being a full cup too big despite the thick molded padding. Despite that however, the center gore refuses to lie flat.
The band is laughably large. The cups fit well if I hold the band down to a tighter length, but the gore floats still.
The bottom is just a thin stitching of fabric underneath the wires. There's no support or grounding at all, it floats around too easily. Also the halter straps are too thin, they dig into the neck.

This is kind of a mess. The cups are seamed and padded but the resulting shape is uneven. The inner top and bottom lining is a plastic non-slip grip thing you get in strapless bras. I kind of like the lining since it helps the bra stay in place, but it affects the tops' of the cups shape.
The cut is like a half-cup balconette. The cups are padded too thickly, if I push down the center gore I quad like crazy and my nipples show. I sized up to a sister size because this is the largest cup size ASOS makes, intending to just cut down the band to fit. However even if I shorten that, the gore still doesn't lay flat on its own. I'd need to size up anyway, but that's not even an option in this brand.
The only good points are the nonslip lining and the halter straps... they offer side support, and they're nice and thick so they're comfortable.

As I said in my other reviews for Asos Bikinis, the Spanish website has the sizes wrong, so be aware when you buy.
I got a 36E from this bikini top. As I usually wear a 32FF I thought I could make it fit shortening the back but I can't. The cups don't fill me, there are lots of space on the top of the cups. I suppose it is because of my breasts shape because the underwires seem to be a good fit.
I normally don't get well with strapaless bras, and this bikini top is basically a bandeau bikini with straps attached, so it not good for my ... soft breast tissue. Moreover, the cups cut quite lot, so I don't get the support I need.
Anyways, if you could find a sizes that fits you, it is a good bikini. Much more beautiful than the other leopard one (Halter Leopard Fuller Bust Bikini) and the quality is much more better also. This one doesn't look that stretchy, and it has a mesh in the inside to reinforce the band, and also features a rubber band on top and bottom.

I ordered a few bikinis from ASOS to try, and this one is the only one that I am thinking of keeping (to be altered to fit, of course!).
First of all, be aware if you order bras or bikinis from ASOS' Spanish web site, as they have converted wrongly the sizes from the British to the Spanish ones. I had to write them an email to warn them of that.
The bikini has a beautiful leopard print and it's basically a bandeau bikini with straps attached. Badly attached, by the way. They are only sewn with a stitch to the fabric (not even to the inside padding).
The top I ... got is a 34F size, and it is not very true to size. I normally wear 32FF or 32G so I thought I would only need an alteration at the back to make it fit. I am going to try that because I can't see to find a bikini with a reasonable price that fits me, but I find the cups too small anyways. They don't give me a quadraboob, but they don't encase my breast or lie flat in my sternum.
Quality is not outstanding. All the fabrics are very basic and it looks like it is going to stretch a lot.
