I got this one in a 28F and FF to try out. In black, because that's about the only option I had. 28F bikinis are expensive and the choice isn't massive, and I tried to cut the cost by ordering a black bikini top and getting some funky bottoms to go with it, and 'pimping' out the black top; I can then sort of have a new bikini every year.
I got the FF as well because what little I could read about Miss Mandalay halter bikinis they tend to run small. On my breasts they don't. The FF was too large. The F is a perfect fit ... though. The measurements seem small, but this is swimwear material and stretchy, including the cups. It has a slightly optical minimizing effect, but that's fine. I don't need optical illusions to make my breasts look larger! The halter straps seem flimsy, but they can be tied up well enough; and they make for easy adding of beads and things. I love how long they are.
The support level is low. Not uncomfortably so, but I wouldn't go for a run in it
I tried it out in the pool at the gym. I always feel silly going there with a bikini, but water testing a bikini requires water. 80 laps, including a few tumble turns and powerful push offs and the bikini was definitely still exactly where it started out. In fact, it only seemed to fit better.
