Every review I read about this bikini top was spot on! I am 5'3", 145 lbs, and a 34DD (or 34E). I am AARP eligible and this is my first bikini!! I too, have never found one that works the way I want and need it to. This top fits as well as a bra. It covers what it is supposed to cover without being matronly or too revealing. Like other reviewers, I would say if you are on the fence, don't be. This top fits exceptionally well!
