Fits well and true to color
I ordered this top in size 34A, which is my bra size, and it fit well. It neither enhanced nor flattened my small chest so it is OK, but if you want any kind of enhancement, this is not the top for you. Nice that the band and straps are adjustable. There were no problems with the white lining showing as I see that a there are a lot of complaints about that - perhaps it is size related. The back is a little difficult to hook, but all I do is turn it around so that I can hook it in the front and then turn it back - not a big problem.

White lining shows
Like other reviewers, the first thing I noticed is that the white inner lining shows even without bending down. They should have real people try these things on before making them. I cut out the lining which solved two problems, one of the white lining showing and two or the underwire bra being uncomfortable. I like the bottoms I got to go with the bra top so I kept it.

Disappointed
Like all Land's End swim products, this top has quality construction and materials. However, as other reviewers have said, the band is too small and the white lining shows from every angle in front. Also, the Turquoise Blue is niether turquoise nor blue, but really teal in my book. The cup size fit well, and I like the idea of the adjustable coverage, but no matter how I adjusted it the white lining showed. Sending it back....

Surplice bikini top not sized right, lining shows too
Okay, so I read the other reviews but decided to try this bikini top anyway. It is snug in the rib cage even when it is fully extended! The other (polka dot bikini top) I bought has inches to spare. So the sizing is off. Also, the white lining showed on my top too -- tho I minimized it by pulling the top up higher onto the straps, which looks like it's designed to do . That's a good idea. I'm sending it back -- just not a good fit. It is a nice shape, and surplice is a nice look, but not this particular one. Back to the drawing board, please, L.E.

It is true to size but the white lining does not stay in place.
This is true to size, nice fabric but the white lining shows when you move around. I wore it on vacation and I was constantly having to adjust the bikini top so it did not show the lining. It was supportive but I do not recommend.

Lined with White that shows
This was disappointing. Fit was exactly as size stated, but still showed the white lining at the place where crosses in front at certain angles. It has a nice built in bra, but again it is white and shows at certain angles. A color matching lining and I would of kept the suit.
