Customer Review: “An exception to ‘bikini tops never fit me right.’ With small boobs and wide ribs, I hardly bother with two-piece suits because they’re often not so flattering. This one looks great, fits great, comfortable enough to sleep in, and I actually have cleavage (one star deducted only for seams and pads that wouldn’t lie flat at first, but probably will with use).”

Ruffles give the effect that there’s more there than there really is. Plus, the eyelet detailing is très cute.
