I don't really understand what is going on with this bra. This review will be all over the place but I try to describe it. It just fails on so many levels there is a lot going on.
First: the band fits really tight. Keep that in mind. I usually wear a 32 band and found this 34J to be tight on me!
Then the cups... the gore does not like flat at all. The top of the cups is gaping away from my chest. (If I could push the gore flat, the gaping would go away, so I assume that the cup volume of this bra would be right ... for me if it fitted properly?) The padded bra underneath looks like it's a typical CK wide shallow shape. It's too shallow for my boobs at the centre therefore the gore gets pushed away.
Then the overlaying fabric. I really loved the unusual and a bit retro look of this Bikini. I like that it is for once not looking just like a regular Bra. But there is too much fabric. It wrinkles in weird places on the sides and in the front. Also If I push the underbust band down to make it look more like a top (I think it's intended for wear a bit lower hence the extra fabric?) then it rolls back up immediately. Not comfortable! Also the straps have a tendency to fall off quite easily, it happened twice when I was trying it on.
The construction of this suit does not work in my size and a 34HH or even 36HH would not save it! If the gore does not tack with a tight band and extra room in cups how would it tack with a looser band or smaller cups?
One word about the matching high waist bottoms: they are nice retro looking, good fit in size 14 for me apart from the waist band that runs very tight and cuts in. So size up in those too. I also think the style is not the best for my figure.
I have to add that I really hated to even wear this few minutes for trial. When I had to put it on again to take pics... I really did not want to. So no recommendation from me.

Swimsuits are so hard to fit! I wasted so much money trying to find a swimsuit that I liked. Too bad this one didn't work out for you... there IS a lot of material on that top... weird.
