I was very pleasantly surprised by this tankini top. I'm very picky with swim suits and have tried on and rejected many. This one fits me perfectly and feels like it's higher quality than many of the cheaper options available. I love that the pads are sewn in and not the removable ones. I only just received it so haven't washed it yet so can't comment on the longer term wear but my initial feelings are that it's pretty much perfect. I ordered a size small. I am a C cup (5'5/120lbs) so the size guide recommended a Medium BUT I have a very small under bust measurement which means that many strapless tops and swim suits don't stay up unless I get a smaller size. I'm glad I went with the small. This one isn't super tight so I'll probably wear the strap when I'm chasing my little kids around the pool just so I feel a little more secure, otherwise I don't think I'd have any slippage issues without the strap. Its very comfortable and I think the cup shape is flattering.
