I purchased it on lace.de for only about 35 EUR, and today it just came.
With the first sight, I thought it was huge. However after I put it on, I'm really impressed. The design and the fit are almost perfect for me.
The material is robust but comfy. Compare to the Freya Bandeau Top, the band is tighter. But the plastic hook is easier to close and not scratchy.
Since I started to try bandeau bikinis, I found them are not TTS. This one is also no exception, so I chose a 30G. Although the cups are actually wider and deeper than my other fitted padded bras, the compression is ...just right for my boobs. There's neither empty fabric, nor tissue cutting.
The center gore is even wider and taller than Freya Bandeau Top. It makes a less cleavagy shape but also makes me look younger. I feel I'm not middle 20 any more but a young lady with age 17 instead when I am wearing it.
It's already the late summer but all of our public pools are still closed because of COVID. Hope I can use it in our indoor pool at end of this year. Read more 86 more words
xoxonxkx It's hard to say. The size I choose depends on the measurements from other Bratabase users. For example, I usually start a trial of British brands like Freya, Cleo at 30F (30:7), because their bands are relatively loose. But when I try a European brand such as Hunkemoller, I will start at 70F (32:6), because they have relatively tight band. There are also some brands that not true to size, such as Comexim, I will start at 70HH (32:9). I think this bandeau bikini top is also not true to size, so I chose a 30G (30:9).
By the way, the British size system is different from European size system. There are also French, Australian, Japanese systems which are rarely mentioned.
smjwzhan Thank you for your answer! May I ask you where you bought the Comexim Bra because the Online Shop of Comexim seems to me a bit complicated with the shipping costs.
xoxonxkx I don't think it's very complicated. I order their bras directly from the official online shop. The shipping cost to Germany is 20 PLN (about 4.6 EUR). You can use PayPal to pay all the costs in their shop. However, their delivery is very slow, you should wait for about one month to get your order.
If you have average size boobs, such as 30F, 30FF and don't want to wait so long. Then I suggest you to try Hunkemoller bras. The cup shape and depth ratio of their bras, especially which from "the Kissable" collection, is similar to Comexim bras. They use European size system and their bands are tight. For a normal UK 30F size, you need a 70F in their shop, and for a normal 30FF, you need a 70G.
When I can I buy a 28GG unfortunately this swimsuit starts from a size 30 so I purchased a 30G. It's a near perfect fit and I just don't feel quite as securely held in place in this band as I would in a 28.
Otherwise this runs true to size and just because I feel a little insecure doesn't mean that the swimsuit looks too small on me - I think it looks like an excellent fit.
The body of the suit isn't as clingy as I'd like it to be through the waist. I believe here I would have done better with a 28, that said, perhaps ...the suit never stretches tight to the skin at the waist due to the cutout at the back waist (thus, there's no pull across the belly from the sides).
The body of the suit runs medium to long which means that it should look amazing on women of normal height following the natural crease of the leg as it meets the hip. The bottom coverage is excellent and there's no discomfort there.
Unfortunately I find the crotch length is still a bit long for me (symptoms: sits too high on the side leg, shows too much bikini hair and rides above the natural crease where my leg meets hip), but I suffer from this in nearly all my lingerie and swimsuit buying adventures so don't let it put you off! The suit may be a little long on women of petite height 5' 4" and under - like me.
Did I mention the colour is beautiful and the style is very sophisticated? The princess seam vertical lines are very sliming and I think the suit makes it looks like my bust is a bit smaller because it smooths right over the underwires towards the belly.
Great for the pool, but I'll stick to my other bikinis for the beach!
If I hadn't gotten this on sale I probably would return it to Figleaves, but the cost of shipping makes this just-a-bit-off fit worth keeping. There will be some occasion I will wear this I'm sure... Read more 242 more words

Fun pattern, high-end looking, durable feeling material, just a little too shallow for my shape. I like the detachable strap you can add for extra security if you know you're going to be running around a lot on the beach, but it feels pretty sturdy without them as well.
This bra doesn't have a traditional center gore, but I don't mind so much as its a bathing suit. But this does mean the the measurements are a bit off.
Ultimately, It was comfortable and supportive, but I just wasn't a fan off the look it gave me.
This is my go to swimsuit. The support in this bra is great, and it's not complex to put on. Plus, it has the added bonus of no nipple slips, and I don't fall out the bottom. It's a tiny bit saggy around the ass, but I think that's because I'm a size 6, and had to get the 8.
Hey!
