Boardwalk Bombshell Bikini Top - Floral Haze

37 yo - 5’5” - 148lbs - XL/D-E Love the color and style of this suit! But the fit of the top isn’t great - Im a 34/36 DD and Based on the size chart and other things I’ve bought from pop flex, I originally got a M/D-E and was way too small. The size I exchanged for is the correct size but the underwire doesn’t work like a bra, it’s there but it doesn’t sit close to the body. So there really isn’t any support and while swimming I was constantly making sure nothing slipped out (nothing did but I didn’t feel secure). It’s so cute and the corset back makes the band feel super secure but the cups sit too far away and it since it’s low cut it makes me nervous.

I really wanted to like this top but it's way too small! I wear 34E UK sizing and the bought a Medium D-E. The cups look like they'd barely fit a B cup! There is not enough material for larger boobs. D-E cups are for 4-5" of breast (I think, I'm no expert) and the cups look like they might fit 2". I compared it to my 36dd balconette bra and it's so much smaller. Maybe I should have gotten the L D-E size since I am on the edge of being M and L, but even that is skeptical to me. The gore is not flush to my skin, but looks like it isnt on any of the models either. Probably just a flaw in designing to look like a balconette bra rather than to be an actual balconette bra or give the support of a bra. I love the color and style of the swimsuit but feels like I might just pop out. It also gives me quad boobs haha if I dont rearrange. Another issue is that the popflex logo tag on the outside came off on one side after just touching it! Makes me wonder about the quality of the rest of the stitches! The swimsuit is also going to show your nipples and the straps seem too long for me.

Overall I am probably going to keep the swimsuit. It still looks ok even if it's too small, and I love the color and style of it. Plus now all the other sizes are out of stock and mine has the logo falling off so it's probably not good to exchange. I plan on going for an ocean swim soon so I'll see if it survives that or if anyone gets a peek! If you're going to buy this top definitely size up like 2 cup sizes and maybe a band size as well if you have some decent boobage. I think they would have been better off naming the cup sizes xs s m rather than misleading customers by using letter sizes like bras. Would definitely like to see cup sizes that match up with actual bra cup sizes rather than just a guesstimate. And I would have appreciated a better size guide if they are going to include cup sizes. There are so many more measurements for bras than just 1 measurement!

I'm in love with this swim top because it fits me absolutely perfectly, it's comfortable, it's cute and it seems like it'll stay up no problem. Plus, the adjustable back is a great touch. However, I got it in a size D-E because I had gotten the one piece with the same cups (Boardwalk Bombshell Cheeky One Piece) in an A-C, and although it was wearable, the cups were still a little too small and it offered me absolutely zero support. My normal cup size is 32 large C or small D. I feel like the difference between A-C and D-E is really minimal... I don't see how the D-E could fit an E cup, I think it would still fit me if I was 1 size up but not more. Overall, I feel like the cup sizes aren't super accurate, cause I'm far from an E cup. If you are in-between sizes or at the top of your size range, I'd say definitely size up. But still, I love this top, it's flattering, the fabric is thick and I don't think I could spill out of it (my boobs didn't feel as safe in the A-C cup). Also, with this cup size, I feel like the support is better - it still offers light support, but it's good enough for a swimsuit.

I really wanted to like this swim top. But the boning on the sides wasn’t secured correctly and was poking me all the time. It also does this thing where the front flops open instead of laying against your skin like a bra does. I’m already scared to get it wet for fear of having a nip slip.

I bought the green top and think the design is cute, but there is zero padding, so also zero nipple coverage. I normally prefer at least a light layer of padding to prevent that problem.

Also, the seams are already fraying even though this was my first time wearing it. Given the high price point, I was disappointed in the quality of this item.

I love this swimsuit! It’s so cute, definitely matches well with the crisscross cheeky bottoms. I have one major problem though, it doesn’t support enough of my chest. I recently went swimming and had to stop swimming because the top kept completely falling off. Very nerve racking. In the end I had to stop swimming. Super cute look though for sun bathing.
