Summer bikini lovin'

I love this top on me. It is so comfortable and supportive. I purchased the gorg fruit print in the Balconette top and it is such a great fit! I really struggle to find a bikini top that is 1. CUTE and 2. actually fits well in my size, so this top ticks all the boxes! I can't wait to wear in summer!

So pretty!

Love this top, the colour especially!

Only thing I would say is I wish the cups had a bit more coverage across the top, but other than that really great quality.

Fresh

I have worn bra-sized swimwear in the past, and was drawn to RAQ for the fresh prints and colors. I purchased the Balconette Top in apple, floss, and emerald. My bra size is 32F. Customer service advised I size up to a 32 H/I in this style. I bought two in 32H/I and one in sister size 34F.

All of them fit very nicely! I haven't yet worn them in water, but have worn them as bras. They are comfortable and supportive. The silhouette is natural compared with other bra-sized swim I have worn. I believe this is due to the cup design. The cups are made from stretch fabric that is not super structural. I like that they move with me, and I don't look hoisted up or locked in place. There is a lot of jiggling when I jump or run, but I never pop out. I am confident they will stay on in the water.

RAQ does a great job representing the actual color of their products. The colors are spot on as they appear on the website.

If you have dense breast tissue like me, and are looking for zero movement, this may not be the top for you. But I am very happy with them and have since ordered more colors in this style. I will not shop another brand for summer 2023.

Never go wrong!

I honestly am obsessed with this brand! I bought all three styles to suit my different needs: underwire crop for water activities, multi way for lounging on the beach and balconette for either!! The adjustable straps on this one are a winner.

great top!

this top is so great, and the print is gorgeous! the material is nice and thick too. the only thing i would say is that the cups have some spillage over the top, but it still looks good!
