This swimsuit top is more than good enough for me, as a swimsuit. It flatters me and it's basic, so I can wear it with all sorts of pretty bottoms.

As a bra, it's not quite there. There's some quadboob on my larger breast, and the band slides down a ways after about a half hour of normal movement (or, very probably, after 7 minutes of beach frolicking). I'd say the band is loose for a Panache bra, and there's only one hook, so there's no remedying that. The band of my 32G - Panache » Andorra Plunge (5676) fits me rather tightly on the loosest hook, but I'd definitely go down to a 30 on this one.

These things aren't nearly enough to put me off the design altogether, especially if I'm not wearing it all the time. But I kind of wish I could, albeit in a 30G or 30GG. I've been using it as an everyday strapless as well, and the looseness of the band leads to slippage over the course of the day.

This bra is not owned any more
