YESSSSS. Finally, a strapless swim top that doesn't threaten to pop over or under my boobs when I move! The cups are SUPER stiff and moulded with huge pushup pillows in them. I didn't expect the pillows at all actually, since I ordered the top off of ebay and the bottom off Gossard's website, since the top was no longer on there in Magenta. The padding helps to make the cup its actual size, if that makes sense. Essentially, if they left the cup size alone and just removed the padding, the cup would be too big for the size it's supposed to ... be.
Even though it has underwires, its way more comfy than any other bra I own. I'm not sure if thats owing to the way that the gore is made (v short with basically only the bottom part of 'traditional' gores that we're used to seeing.) On the wings and the band, there are silicone strips at the top and bottom to keep the band up, and the band itself is pretty tall, which is nice. It sits a teeny bit longer than a traditional underwired bra, but again you can see in all the stock photos and such that it's supposed to fit this way. The fabric is nice and plush, which is also helpful. Overall, its made of very thick materials and of sturdy construction, which is why I think its so comfy and supportive. Oh, and the band is small for a 30, so all my fellow 28-ers, this would definitely be okay for you https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The cups themselves naturally give some pretty major cleavage (you can see this in the stock photos if you google 'Gossard Sienna Bandeau' and a nice round shape, only *hinting* at pointy-ness at the apex of the cup.
When I tried it on, I jumped up and down and mimed 'swimming arms' and it didn't budge!! Overall I'm really impressed and happy with this top (esp. since I got the matching bottoms on major sale https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> ). Pics coming soon and I'll update after I take it for a spin in the water!

* I keep forgetting things. This top comes with a removable, thin halter strap and has gold accents https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
