This bra/swimtop is extremely comfortable, other than having this slanted plastic clip at the back that you have to angle in just so in order to close, and I always have problems getting it aligned before latching it (The clip is extremely comfortable and sturdy once you fasten it, and is probably well suited to staying on in the water).

It sortof "fits" but for my narrow ribcage and shoulders, the cups extend too far around my ribcage, halfway to my back (although of course it's not nearly so bad on me as the 34JJ was).

With my narrow shoulders, I would do much better if it had a ... "racerback" hook like some sports bras do.

I would not recommend this for people with a higher, rounder shape or narrower shoulders because this shape seems more geared to wider shoulders and build.

I rated it as "too much separation" because the cups extended so far out around my ribcage and that was my best guess for how to encapsulate that in the fit notes.

I don't think it is nearly as flattering on me as it could be, because of the preceding and because the center gore does not lie flat. For builds like mine it would need more fabric across the top edge of the cup. It did feel extremely comfortable, though.

I suspect that the non-adjustable band could pose a problem in time, but it feels great now.

If you are potentially interested in one, I would make sure to check here and other places for "real" pictures because the photos shown by Freya seem to have a very different appearance than the product does "in real life" (not least because they seem to show the shape of the version for the smaller cup sizes for both the smaller and larger sizes, even though the larger sizes are shaped differently)

Pros: I like the appearance of the "blue"(navy-ish) color top better than the "reef"(aquamarine). It can look slightly cheap when off but looks better on. It feels sturdy like it would be a real swim top (unlike some that are advertised as such). I find it extremely comfortable despite not really fitting and plan to keep it.

Cons: It can appear somewhat pointy. Doesn't fit my build; shoulders and cups too wide, giving me a sortof high "boxy" appearance, whileh center gore does not lie flat and top seam does not have sufficient material for me. I suspect that the lines on me would look better without the buttons to draw the eye outward although the buttons are otherwise cute and help signal that this is a bikini top not just a bra. One-band-size may become a problem over time.

I am not sure how to rate bra appearance below. The blue top itself I would rate "Good;" on me it was "Meh."
