My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

I ordered this from Bare Necessities partly for bra science and partly to see if it would win me over!

I absolutely love the green/pink print on it, it has some flecks of neon green color too which I love. I ordered this a size smaller than usual since it was all they had at the time, but it’s a decent fit/shape considering. I don’t feel like it’s too skimpy up top and on the sides, I do tend to tolerate “skimpier” style/type of coverage in swimsuits. The fabric is nice and soft ... and overall looks well made.

The cups are soft, there are no wires, and the center “gore” the fabric is sewn over itself a bit in a triangle. The soft cups have one vertical seam and one horizontal seam, they are not very deep and look very flat, but since they’re wireless they take more of your breast shape I believe. There is a very soft side boning on the sides of the cup, it’s flexible but still gives some structure which is nice. The top is adjustable as a halter and is comfortable on my neck.

The band is comfortable, albeit slightly loose. There’s only one plastic setting in the back, so I do wish it was a little bit tighter, I’m not sure how this would hold up when wet. Band is 27” in length and stretches to about 31.5” (I don’t usually pull a lot on the bands to get measurements because I don’t want to ruin a new bra/top, so it probably stretches a bit more than that). It is looser than my loose underbust measurement, so maybe that’s why it feels a little loose (?), not sure, but I don’t think I’d want to risk it.

I ordered the side tie bottoms in size M (which is the size I usually get in swim and regular underwear) and I absolutely hate them. First, they are too big, I couldn’t tighten the strings enough to get a snug fit around, and the back coverage is very full, a little more than what I like. (I will try to update the bottom pics with measurements). Plus it just sort of hangs since it’s so loose. I measure 39.5” (100cm) at the fullest part of my hips. Overall, it misses some marks for me in terms of fit, both top and bottom.
