dissappointed
I haven't even been able to try this top on because the fabric is so bulky I cannot slide it onto the clasp. I bought a faille bra top and swim mini from LE MANY years ago and the fabric and quality were so much better. Really holds it's shape even when wet and weighs so much less than this new fabric. I bought this top and another swim mini to have when/if my old one gives out... I think both are going back. Please bring back the faille and quality!

Nice top, runs a little big.
This top is pretty, supportive and well-made, and is super flattering. I ordered according to my measurements and the band is a bit large. That being said, I love this top!! Please offer it in more colors!

Nice top but....
The quality of this top was good. However, I am 49 years old, 5'2 120 lbs and 34D bust and it just didn't give the support I needed, therefore, I returned it. I have had great success in fit and support with the Aqua Terra line from Lands End and have reordered one of those.

Love the style, but not the colors
I love the style of this top - it's very similar to one I bought from LE two years ago that I finally had to retire only because after two summers it had finally faded. Since the style was similar I ordered the same size as the old one, but it was just a little smaller in the cup and band.
I was hoping the colors would be more turquoise and bright pink, but it's really teal and strawberry/almost bright red, and I just don't care for those colors. I really wish LE would make this style top in basic bright colors like true turquoise. But, if you like the colors a little deeper than pictured, you'll like the top.

Not for busty women!
I loved this swimsuit top. The colors were vibrant,the material was very nice and the underwire was fine. It's just that I am a busty 40 DD and it didn't look very good. My chest was "right in your face" as my Mom put it. Also, believe it or not the top was a bit large even on me. I would order one size down to avoid having to exchange. I bought a swimsuit skirt to go with it and it fit just fine.

BEST BIKINI TOP EVER!!!!
BEST SWIM TOP EVER!! Without a doubt this is the best fitting bikini top ever! I love it. I'm about to order the other color in the suit. I am a full size woman and I wear a size 20 or 22 pant and have a bra size of 44 C and I ordered the 22 in the plus size bikini. It could not fit better! I am so thankful to Land's End for selling a two piece suit for larger ladies! It is so hard to find anything other than one piece suits which I feel smothered in. I would recommend this suit to everyone! I only wish it was make it in solid colors as well and have a few more printed colors to pick from. Love Love Love this top!!!e

DDD cups too small, band too big
I was excited to see a bikini top with high review for large busted women. I am wearing a 34 DDD bra . I was concerned about band size so I ordered a 6DDD and an 8DDD. On both, the band was too large and the cups too small. I wish LE would give larger busted women who are on the thin side sewn in cups, more support and better coverage. Removable pads and powermesh are just not supportive enough. Please give us options like you give in the plus size that offfer better coverage. Also, please understand that if the band is too large, there will be no support.

Fantastic Suit Top
I absolutely love this suit. I have an average figure with a large bust and always have a hard time finding the right bikini top. I purchased the DD bikini top and it was absolutely great because it was very supportive and actually covered me in all the right places.
I love the fact that ALL the straps are adjustable, as well as the main back closure. The best part was I never had to worry about modesty or the suit slipping. The suit held up well in the rough ocean surf and the SPF 50 in the fabric really works. I got the pink paisley print and it is adorable.

Active Gals' Review
I am 51 and I adventure sail, snorkel and like to be cool when we are in the warm waters. We travel out of the US for days at a time so I need my suits to coordinate into multiple day wear as luggage space is prime. So I too would appreciate more pattern choices. Particularly to match up to past year colors of orange and blue. hint hint. Love the new middle fabric piecing style here as this area, in the bikini style, was needed for the sake of oopsie situations. Thank you! I would like to see about 3-5 mm more fabric medially on the sternum angle vertically upwards toward front strap attachment just to make me feel solid so no such oopsie of ever happening again. ie front spillage. (it does not need to come all the way to the strap) LOVE the elastic, though ever subtle,and in no way binding, on the front cup edge that does help hold me in. Like I said I am an adventure Gal with lots of reaching and movement and in the D size range there is a lot of weight behind that movement. Regarding the pads. I just removed them entirely to have the extra room. I think the fabric is thick and sumptuous enough on its' own to warrant modesty. However I have not been in the water yet so I will take the pads along. Sewing them in does make more sense..The straps are well placed and do not bind, pinch or impede movements. Great underarm dimensions, back dimensions and overall it has a updated, cute bikini look without being in the sport bra category. I really hope the next run has more fabric patterns so I can replenish my tops! With the help of a wonderful LE Customer Service person, I figured out my size, as a 6 for a 34D I feel that it is ever so slightly skim, that is why I suggested the 3-5mm more fabric towards the center of the cup. (1/4") and removed the pads(giving me more room). I know everyone is made differently. Athleta, Title 9, LL Bean and Champion are not hitting the market like you are. Keep up the great work! P.S.

SO CLOSE, LE, I know you can do it....
Wow! An underwire swim bra for plus sizes!! I have been asking for this for years! Wow! Almost perfect LE. Now, please offer it in solid colors (or match the fabric to other suits you sell) and please sell it separately from the bottoms. I want to wear this under a tank or tankini suit for extra support. Thanks LE!
