Love It - Except for the Floating Bra
The quality is great, love the print, and it fits true to bra size. I am about to head out on a cruise and try this out for the first time and took a tip from another reviewer to tack the floating bra to the outside fabric so it doesn't show. I will add to this review after I return and let you know how my simple alteration worked !
I would have rated this top excellent except that the floating bra is a good idea, in theory, but isn't likely to work very well.
I bought this top with the mid-rise swimsuit bottom (navy blue), the swim mates halter top coverup swim cami (blue with white polka dots), and the swim mates cover up swim skirt (navy bllue), and the blue and white swim tee coverup that I'll use when snorkeling.

Nice fit
I like this top. I didn't really love the print but liked the style so I went ahead and bought it. I'm glad I did. It fits well and covers nicely. I want a suit that I feel comfortable in while running around the pool with the kids, and this is it.

Was true to size
I thought this fit well. Just didn't like the print. It's not as subdued as it is online. Also just felt the narrow straps didn't look as good on me.

Needs a little adjustment.....
I love this top!!! I hand sewed the floating bra to the top along the top edge and where it crosses at the center....it prevented it from gapping. If you don't sew, it's just a very small seamstress adjustment.
So comfortable.

Good swimsuit, even for swimming and exercise
Really like the swim suit. The fact that it is fully adjustable helps create the right fit. Found that on the top, the under bra would often show at the cleavage region and I was not able to adjust the top layer correctly enough to avoid it. However...a very comfortable top.
Bottoms were great and provided just the right amount of coverage.

It was OK
I tried this bra size bikini top and wanted to love it but it just seemed to fit kind of strange.. You have to adjust the bra hook by sliding it across the strap to make it the different size and it made the hook in the back off-center which kind of bothered me.

if you can manage the floating bra, the top is pretty & supportive
Not sure I like the floating bra. However, the support was good for me. I'm a 32D, 5'4 111 pounds. I loved the color and pattern, but the top just didn't seem comfortable enough for me.
I ordered size 32D/34C - which seemed right for my cup size.
I am returning since I didn't care for the bottoms either, and overall I liked the beach living selections I made better.

Not for D cup
I ordered this top in the wine color, according to my usual size 38D. The lining and outer fabric are not entirely attached, so the liner wants to creep out and show. The cleavage coverage is minimal, which I figured might be the case from the photo, but it is really borderline obscene on. The pattern and color of the fabric are really great, so I am disappointed about the fit. I would say this is the perfect top for B cups or small C cups. Also, too thin of straps for D. Lands End has got to make at least one bikini top per year for D cups, in plain colors, it would sell really well.
