I bought this about 2 years ago when I was figuring out my size, which was about a 30J/30JJ/32J then. I never wore it because it never fitted right. I think it came up a bit small in the cups as I got slight quadboob. The cups are made of stretchy material which did not provide much support and uplift. The shoulder straps are quite thin and cut into the shoulders.

I think perhaps a 32JJ or 32K would fit better volume-wise, but the wires feel so wide on this that going up one or two cups seems like it would make the wideness worse.
Anyway, the swimsuit is very attractive. I wanted a one piece for casual swimming at the gym rather than a bikini. The pattern is very pretty and the body of the suit fits pretty well. The bottom cuts in to my butt a little bit, but that might be more of the style and I'm used to more boy-short type bottoms on my bikinis.
The wires feel so wide on this. Wider than most of my ... other Panache bras and feels also wider than my other two Panache bikinis. I had a very difficult time getting the underwires to sit correctly with my inframammary fold. Once I tightened the straps substantially the wires came close to being properly seated but still too low. I think it might just be an issue with the length of my torso and the suit maybe being a few centimeters shorter than how I would need it.
Otherwise, it feels pretty supportive. I went out right away and got in the pool at my condo to try how it fits wet vs dry. Everything stayed in the cups, even though the cups weren't perfectly suited for me. I think for light swimming it will work out.

Oddly, the cups are actually a little too big. This has never happened to me before! The fabric is rather stretchy, and that is probably why. The wires are a tad wide, and the band runs very tight (I'm normally a 30). The shape works for me because my boobs are full all around and they don't really need much on the side of shaping, but I could see how this would not work for anyone who really needs the reshaping quality of the bra or a good "hoist." The cups are a little too separated, but overall I really like this as a bathing suit. It's cute and my back looks good. I would recommend going up a band size, though.

The wires were ridiculously wide, reaching around to my back. The straps were placed accordingly. When I put my shoulders as far back as possible, it was still cutting in, in my armpit. The ruched detail was perfect for a maternity swimsuit!
