Speedo Women's Active Halter Swimsuit Top - Comfortable & Supportive Swimwear for Swimming, Surfing & Beach Activities

I ordered a size 10 as I used my mobile app to order I didn't check on the sizing. :-\ It was a Leap of faith for the deal I was getting.The color is a beautiful purple, I have pale skin and the color is really "whoa!". It looks good with a teal or pink tank top after swimming as well.It should do well with my swim routine in freshwater so I will never know how it does in chlorinated water.Now the fit. I am 5'3" and weigh about 145 pounds. I fit into 34B and 36B bras varying on what part of the year I'm in. The size 10 works great for me. Just right. I picked this swim top above others as I have one boob bigger than the other. A size a cup and a size c cup so normal tops don't fit me. This top holds both just as good if not better than the cheap sports bra I was using to swim in.I can agree with the other reviewer who hated padding, it sucks I cannot remove them for washing but I am fine dealing with it and keeping my top.Thanks to speedo for this design I have some confidence in my swim and am not hiding in long sleeve lycra tops anymore. What a relief.I am 5'3" and weigh about 133 lbs and wear a 30F/G bra (I should wear a 28H, if that existed). I recently had a baby and am nursing, so I need something with serious support, but with a little give for the changing sizes during the day. I ordered an 8, which should be my size according to the Speedo size chart. I wish this top fit better, because it is cute. The band is too large around my rib cage, which I feared it would be. Since it is not adjustable, there is nothing I can do about that, short of taking it to a tailor. The cups themselves are lined and lightly padded, which I liked. It has a moderate amount of coverage, which I really appreciated. The perfect balance of cute, fashionable, sexy, sporty, and modest. Because I am heavier up top, the halter style didn't work for me, since it pulled on my neck too much. Not the right fit for me, unfortunately.I love this top! I was looking for a halter top that was comfortable, would fit larger breasts, was not ugly, and that I would be able to wear even with my baby tugging at it. I am so glad I went with this Speedo top. It is cute and still has good coverage. I was also looking for a top that had wider straps than the common uncomfortable spaghetti-like straps. This top is comfortable and I will be using it for a long time. I am a new mom and I was finding the hardest time finding a cute swimsuit. I am resisting the tankini! I am even considering getting the same top in the other colors.The only thing I disliked about the top is that the pads are removable. I hate removable pads! Especially when they bunch up while you're swimming!I love love these bathing suit tops. I first got the black color, then the teal and now the deep iris is on it's way.......I love the way it fits, and looks.There is no knot tie on the back, but a nice comfortable clasp. It will stay up by itself, without flopping over to avoid tan lines while sunning. The have padding so you do not see through, while wet. I would like to see more colors and patterns, I'd buy every one. I pair them with black swim bottoms and have a new suit each time.Ladies, this is a goodie!!:)I wear a size 10 normally, was a little worried as to how it might fit. But it fit like expected just a tad too small. The cup size is good, good coverage which is what I was looking for. Very comfortable.Broad coverage not ideal for those with small breasts; just too much unnecessary material--ended up making me look wide and flat, even with the removable lite pads. Probably best for larger chested women who need a lot of support. Also, the wide straps rubbed against my armpits, making me think it would be uncomfortable for swimming laps.I love this color. I have large breasts and my breasts are always exposed too much in bikini tops. I love how this top covers everything and I don't have to worry about anything coming out. I also love how the back is not a tie, but a hook strap. I hate when you wear tops and your bikini tie sticks out on your back.I wanted to really like this top for a full coverage top but it's not big enough in the cups. I will unfortunately be sending it back.
