I've had 5 Miss Mandalay bikinis over the years. They always come up small in comparison to other brands. This years is a totally different sizing. Had to go up a cup size and send for numerous exchanges as non were fitting correctly, dispite having had this cut away style before. The brief in XL is the equivalent to a size 14 and 2" smaller when laid flat next to last years L size purchase. However worth the perseverance as a lovely looking bikini that supports well. Thank you for the advice over the phone, I got there eventually.

I should have listened to the other review about the top coming up small but thought I would take a chance in my usual size of 30E. As the picture shows, this is a medium coverage bikini, but the top I ordered was showing off much more than I bargained for! I exchanged for a 30F which fits perfectly. I ordered the tie side briefs in XS which are a perfect fit. Bravissimo were great in sorting out the exchange which took a week from the time I returned the item to receiving the new one, which I reserved.

I liked colour and style of this bikini top and the briefs but be warned... they come up much smaller than other brands. Especially the briefs.

I bought this bikini online and thinking it would come up small I ordered a 38E top and the XL swim briefs. Actually the top was too big and I should have stuck with my usual 36 DD/E, but I have to send it back anyway as the briefs are way too tiny and sadly they don't go any bigger. I compared them against some Freya XL briefs and they are literally half the size! It's a shame as the colours are lovely - vibrant blues and greens, but that's no good if the briefs don't come big enough for me. I have a big bum, but it's not off the scale big, and I am sure that many ladies who have big boobs also have big bums - I don't think I'm unique in this! I have found this with a number of swimwear companies - there is a good range in tops for big boobs, but not enough variation in sizes in the bottom half. I know now I can never again buy from Miss Mandalay :(
