It’s still a good supportive top but they changed the style and design slightly with the straps in the middle and I preferred it better with the previous designs.I love this top so so SO much! I am 5"5' and 145 pounds. I wear a 34DD-DDD bra depending on the brand. I can never find swimsuit tops that fit. If the cup fits, the band is huge and vice versa. I am a natural DD so they don't stand up all perky like fake ones; I need something that covers AND supports. This top does and I'm really thankful for the plain color. I walked all over the house and bent down, turned, etc. and did not feel like I was going to fall out at all. It has nice shoulder straps that are thicker than just a little tie and adjustable like bra straps, but does not look like a bra. There are straps that can be tied as a bow in front, criss-crossed and tied behind the back, or warn around the neck like a center halter. You can also wear the shoulder straps on or off. I will update my review once I wear it in the water next week.**UPDATE**I've worn this top in the ocean and pool and back again pretty much all day, and I love it even more now. It's so comfortable and I feel super confident that I'm not moving around in it! I've bent over, swam, and carried around a 2 year old and it's stayed in place, covered everything, and completely supported me. Whoever said it's too heave apparently never carried around natural DDs. It's no heavier than wearing a bra around. I've never had a swimsuit that I just LOVE that I've felt completely comfortable in until now. I'm buying another color!This swim top was ALMOST what I needed. It is surprisingly hard to find bra-sized swim tops, especially in the DD/DDD range. As far as I'm concerned, at these sizes, we really need and deserve a fully supportive garment. I wish my favorite lingerie maker would offer simple swim tops!This top was the only one in the DD range that didn't fit smaller than I expected. (I wear 36DD or 36DDD in Wacoal or Chantelle bras.) Since this was a DD/DDD top, it was actually even a bit large in the cup. Because of that, I needed it tied very tightly to make it fit... but I couldn't tie the back tie on this myself and get it tight enough! Since I don't have a daughter to go to the pool with me (or an obliging friend of relative always available), this was a deal-breaker for me. It did fit okay when my husband tied it snugly for me.I also tried the Freya Acapulco and the Fantasie Dominica Underwire Balcony, both of which felt a bit small in the DD. I'm going to re-order the Fantasie in a DDD size and see if that works. Maybe next summer I'll have an entire swim ensemble that fits properly!I must admit I am no 32c (hah!)but I was desperate to own this top so I purchased it anyways.I am a 32b at VS and my sister size is 34aSo this is a little big on me but if I tie the back tight enough it really isn't too big of an issue. I wouldn't try speed swimming with this on, or jumping from a diving board without holding my chest hahaAs for the color- it's exactly as pictured- a bright coral with plenty of oomph. Looks great with black bottoms.The versatility is the most appealing aspect of this bikini top:I thought I just "liked" it in the classic bra fashion, but when I took the bow and wrapped the straps criss-cross over the bottom of the top I fell in love! It looks soooo good!Flirty, and bright- it's sure to gather some appreciative nods.This little number can go from cabana club (halter) to a day on the beach (criss-cross bandeau), spring break party (regular bandeau) or just pool-side pretty (straps + bandeau combo/ straps + front-bow)If you're not sure about this I'd say take the plunge- It's 5 (I found 6) swim tops in one! You're bound to find at least 2 you likeOverall: comfortable, bright, extremely versatile- worth it.Absolutely thrilled with the fit and the support. Planning a trip to Europe for the first time in 40 years I was a bit daunted by the thought of swimwear – I am so pleased that I took the risk and ordered several coco reef items. I realised straightaway that the cup size was going to be the critical factor given the flexibility of how this item ties and has a fully adjustable tie bow back, so as I overestimated (what breast mass I have remaining as a 59-year-old), I initially ordered a C cup, but like most items purchased on American websites it's a little bit smaller than expected so I returned and re ordered the double D and the fit is perfect. In Australian bra sizes I am a 14 F. Go figure! Also bought a tankini top just in case. I'm now feeling confident that I can actually swim and keep everything where it's meant to be Haven't washed item or able to comment on where is the fabric but my assessment of the quality that has arrived is that it's outstanding value.Quality isn't as great as the one I purchased from Macy's of the same brand, but this is still my favorite swimsuit top. I get so many compliments every time I wear it (with a high waisted bottom). This one did have an issue with showing the white part of the inside of the swimsuit at the top of the cup, so I had to keep adjusting it. But overall, this top from Coco Reef is still my favorite. If the black one is ever in stock I'll buy that one too!I'm a concave (saggy) 36 C/D and it fits with no spillage. The strap connectors do fall out from the insert place in the cups but I reinforced them.I thought it would be too big when I ordered bases on reviews but it's not. I did buy an extra halter strap https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EUDOZTO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1on Amazon which really makes a difference ( I got a medium, could have used a small). I haven't gotten it wet yet so I can't speak to the heaviness issue. Tying the main band it tight helps a lot.
