Whoa!!! Lift where you need lift and flattering around the torso! I took a chance on the 36E. In bras I normally buy a 38 DD. So this wasn't to big of a a gamble, but I thought the suit itself might be too small. It was not. This suit actually has a bra band with hooks and eyes to help hold the girls in place. Its FABULOUS! Quality looks great and suit is bright and thick.
