Cute bathing suit top. Looks more like black then blue. A little tight around my back. The top might be a little tight and the stripes get overlapped...kinda bugs me. Wondering if a large would be better.

Great fit. My only issue is the fabric takes forever to dry.

So comfortable and it stayed put snorkeling all over the British Virgin Islands, and living on a sailboat for 10 days! I only wish that I had received both that I had ordered!!!

This would be a great athletic swim top for someone looking for a little more coverage, but it didn't flatter my figure so much. It was a little long, so there was no gap between the top and the bottoms, and it ended up looking a little funny to me. Also the horizontal stripe made me look thicker through the waist, and the top bra cups were almost gapping. I think a smaller size in a different print might have worked better, but in ordering them online, I didn't get a chance to try them on. For reference, I am 5'7", 140lbs, 34B bra size, and I purchased a medium. I sent this one back, and got the Sanitas top, which fits me better. #sweepstakes

The fit and size (XL) is perfect. VERY good fit, soft material, stays in place, good length and good color.

Cute top but straps are not adjustable and fits bigger than expected.

Love this top. However, it runs a size small. I normally wear a medium but had to size up to a large. Good fit, good price.

The length is great. Great for the bustier gal too. The only thing is wish it had was adjustable straps.

I really love the Indigo Tulum print but feel like the horizontal stripes make me look a little hippy (which I am not especially). So, this would be a great suit for a woman trying to accentuate or create curves but maybe not ideal for a truly curvy figure. I ordered a Small (I am 5'11, 130lb, 34C) and it fits really well and I don't find it to be particularly long like other reviewers mentioned but I expect that is due to my height. I did end up returning it for a size Medium, however, because I felt like the Small was really skin tight and I prefer a slightly looser top. The Medium is still nicely fitted in the bust but gives me a little room around my waist without being wrinkly or baggy.

Very flattering top with soft, comfortable material. Long enough so it doesn't ride up when I swim. Color is a rich pink which is a bit more stark in real life than in the picture shown. I gave it 4 starts because the elastic on the built in shelf bra is a bit too tight (I'm 34-B/C and ordered XS). I also don't care much for the removable type cups which tend to move around. I prefer a fixed/molded cup instead. Overall, recommended.

A good cross between sporty and fun. I am a 34D/DD and went with the large. It fits nicely. It provides good coverage without seeming matronly!

Cute, in theory! Love the narrow blackstrap- great for shoulder movement. I was planning on using this as my SUP too. But the shelf bra/thin cup liners offer zero support. So, back it goes.

This top is a cute design & pattern but that's about it. It offers ZERO support. I am a size 36, large A/small B cup, but I have total pancake chest with this top. I only kept it because I LOVE the full coverage Carve bottoms, which this matches, and I was in a hurry for my vacation. Not only does it need to provide more shape in the cups, but it should also have adjustable straps.
FYI, be careful not to be careless like I was and accidentally read "free shipping on returns." I followed the sizing guide and initially ordered size S, but it was too snug and I needed M. It costs $7 to return, so just because of that I will not buy from this company again. There are many other online shops that offer free returns.

This suit is absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable, but there was definitely not enough support for a 34-DD. Didn't even feel comfortable walking around the house. If you have a smaller chest, it would be great. I kept the Sophia Tankini instead. Thanks for offering D+ options though!

I am not a 5'-10" ex surfer girls, however much I would love to be. Instead I am a 5'-4" 44 year old mom. Ugh, I just wish the print options were better. This suit top aged me. I wanted to love it, I really did!

This runs very small. I normally wear a size 12, but this was too small. I love the print and wish it would have worked out.

Beware the paisley: the light pink paisley medallions, shown in the picture on the model's midsection, ended up right on top of the girls. Not the look for me, it's going back. Sizing, I ordered a small and I'm 5'7" and about 127 pounds. It felt a bit tight and if not for the medallions, maybe would have tried it up a size.

Okay, but not great. Not great enough to keep. It was comfortable and soft and long enough, but the bust was not too my liking. Not as flattering as I'd like it to be.

Ran a title tighter through the midsection than I had hoped but didn't have time to find something else before vacation so I kept it. Comfortable fit but the little triangle pads had to be readjusted every single time I put it on - very aggravating! I found that it also rode up while swimming or boarding. I returned the one I bought in a different pattern.

Well, I barely pulled this so-called XL on with my rheumy hands - OUCH! I have to use it since my water aerobics class starts tomorrow. Luckily, I have Lands' End suits coming in a week and I'm confident they'll fit. Meanwhile, I may have to cut myself out of this top once it's wet.

Well made but runs small. I am normally a 2 in JCrew, Banana Republic, and Gap, but the XS and S were too small for me. I just ordered the M to try again. So bummed.

Pretty snug but what’s worse is it’s just the top! I definitely wouldn’t get it you’re a size 10. The pattern is adorable but when you call something Tankini, that’s the whole thing. Otherwise it’s the “Tankini Top,” which is what I got!

I am 5'3", 140 lbs, with an athletic build. I wear a C-cup and the XL didn't cover me up as I wished. Too low cut for me, but otherwise is surprising that I needed an XL. My street clothes are typically size 8 or 10 pants and medium tops. This top is going back, but it seems well made and is quite soft.

I returned it. Not as forgiving through the midsection as I had hoped and the little triangle pads shifted every time I put it on.
