I'll just write this review as a list because it's a lot to cover. I first heard about Lilly & Lime on Bratabase, and this white and green print really caught my eye. It was too expensive for me at the time but went on sale by the time I needed a new bikini top.

Pros:
- Minimal cleavage, which I love because I don't necessarily want people staring at my exposed chest at the pool when I'm with my kids.
- Cute pattern. I wish I had the matching bottom.
- It has removable padding.
- The halter top design makes it look less like a bra.
- Somehow ... it has worked for me over a range of sizes (~32G/GG down to ~30FF/G)
- Came with a small wet bag and a tape measure.

Cons:
- Kind of east-west (tradeoff of having minimal cleavage, I guess.) Makes me look a bit wider than I'm used to.
- Clasp is a bit difficult to do in the back.
- Some of the stitching is coming apart a little by the halter straps. It came this way. I can fix it, so it's not a big deal, but this seems like something that should have been noticed.
- Ships from Australia (expensive since I'm in the US)

Overall, I like this top a lot and would love to try different patterns and cuts if I went swimming often enough to justify having more than one.
