The straps are the most interesting part on this. The outside wing connects to the straps and you can wear it over the cup or as a sling. There is a band that slides down making a more Grecian style look or a more gathered wing. See my pictures for examples. Otherwise, fits exactly like my Panache Holly.

Other Panache swim in this size fit, but this is too small in cup and band because it is lined. It fits nicely on the small boob, so a 40HH might be a good fit. I would have liked this much more in a plunge style of course, which Panache refuses to make in my size. The straps are way too widely set but I can't tell if it's because the band is too small or just stupid wide set straps. The finishing on this is much nicer than any swimwear I own except 38HH - Panache Swimwear ยป Halle Balconnet Bikini Top (SW0752).

I like having tight bands on swimwear because they do stretch out and I swim laps so I need everything tamped down. I also have this in a 40H and the 38HH is the same fit in the cup but a better band so my breasts don't swish around under water. However, I have been swimming in the 40H every other day or so in a chlorinated pool for six months and it still works, although it's looking shabbier at this point. I'm very impressed with that quality as chlorination destroyed my Fantasie swimwear quicker. Breasts look fairly high and round although there is ... no liner or sling inside so they are lower and I get a bit of east west action. Also this has a wider gore than my other panache products and the wires sometimes cross on top, which I don't care about because it's swimwear. Definitely a full cup fit so if you're looking for a sexy swim bra, this is not it. Instead, it's the most practical thing ever for laps. I would not want to wear it all day tanning however, because the straps are very narrow and cut in. I buy Forever 21 high waisted bottoms to go with it in various colors and voila most practical swimwear ever, everything stays in place while I'm swimming.
