I am undecided about the quality of this bra/bikini top. It looks and feels kindof cheap and rough, but it is a swim top, too, and I suspect that it is good in the water. It looks slightly less cheap on than it does off (Also, I have tried the "Reef"/aquamarine and "Blue" colors, which don't seem to look as sophisticated as the black one, but I couldn't find a black one that I could afford).

For my shape, this does not fit at all. This is the biggest 34-band I have ever worn (perhaps it needs to be looser as a swim top?), and the cups are ... too wide for my narrow shoulders and ribcage. The cups extend halfway around my ribs (this doesn't quite show in the pictures).

The straps are far too wide for my build, as well; the shoulder straps want to fall off of my shoulders and although it is fairly comfortable, it almost looks as though my breasts are shoved into my chin -- I think this is exacerbated by the extra-wide cups and straps.

Pros: it feels very sturdy, as if it will last in the water, and it looks better on than off.

Cons: the cups can look a little pointy, it can seem a little cheap, and it just doesn't fit me at all. I think it would be better for builds with wide shoulders (Swimmer's shoulders! Makes sense!) and wide-set appearance. For all I know, it might be better for lower-set, as well.

I am not sure how to rate "bra appearance." In itself the "reef" color top I find maybe "Meh" or "Okay." On me it was "poor."
