To be clear, I really like this top and will definitely be keeping it. But there are a few things to know. First, there is a built in shelf bra so the ladies won’t be hanging totally free. Though the top is great quality, the pads are not so I took them out because I thought they felt a little off. The back is gorgeous, I love the lace up style. The armpits hug a little snug under your arms so I’m a little worried about chaffing it hen I wear it out and about. This top looks great with the swim skirt and almost feels like something you could wear out and about, not just at the beach. For reference, I am 5’7” and 135lbs. I ordered the small and it’s a lovely fit. I probably could have gotten away with a medium if I wanted it looser.
