The cups of the Jecca Longline have the same cut as the Cleo Swimwear Pippa Balconnet Bikini Top (CW0052) and Cleo Swimwear Rita Balconnet Bikini (CW0120). All these cuts are based on the Cleo Juna Balconnet Bra (6461), but come up slightly higher (approx. .5cm). Unlike the Juna, they are true to size.
The band runs stretchy, it rode up and created unpleasant skin rolls. I recommend to stick with your usual UK band size and size down if you're between sizes.

I'd say this is a complete fail (at least for my type of boobs - wide root, shallow). The bikini top feels massive - I've actually considered weighing it. While I cannot for the life of me get my boobs into the bottom half of the cups in either 30D or 32D, the top of the cups creates massive quadboobing, also in both sizes. I have a suspicion that the frills might just have been added to hide this.
The band is supertight, so that I found it hard to fasten it on the 30D top (I usually wear 30 bands in all bras except Ewa M.s and ... Shock Absorbers), and the whole thing is just extremely uncomfortable in both sizes. It felt like some kind of armour to me and not like a bikini top. I wonder if it would even dry after swimming.
I really wanted to like this so much, because it's beautiful - in photos and sitting on my desk (needless to say, it keeps its shape and it can literally sit, stand or whatever you might require of it on its own), but there's just no way I could wear it.
I'll judge bra appearance on a person.
