I have the bettie in leopard print and I love it.

I also have 2 suits from Fables by Barrie (love them) and one from Esther Williams ( love it too)

I have a Marilyn suit.  I don't really like the way the bust fits, although I love how the rest of it fits.  I feel like I am going to fall out of it if I move the wrong way.

I have the Marilyn, and it is gorgeous and very flattering. It is dicey on the bust, I would say. I feel sometimes like I could fall out, but if I adjust the straps (like bra straps) nice and tight and tuck myself in, I am okay. It depends how much activity you are planning on doing in your suit. If you just want it for casual swimming and hanging out with friends, it can be just fine.
I tried the Bombshell, but I was not happy with it in the bust. The cups are wide-set and rather low, so I found that I had to tie the halter straps very tight to get any support at all. By the time I did that, the straps were killing my neck. It was nice everywhere else, but I just felt like the suit didn't hold me up at all (unless, like I said, it was tied really tight).

I also have the Pinup Couture Bikini. The support on that is actually pretty decent. The cups are a little bit small, but I found them manageable. After a while the halter straps get tiring on my neck, but nothing like the Bombshell.
