Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Tofino Top is designed to handle active beach days like surfing, paddleboarding, and beach volleyball while still looking cute. It combines a longline tank silhouette and V-neck front to give real support and freedom of motion, features labeled as "High Support" and "Surf-to-Sweat" in the product details. The wide straps and structured longline design help keep everything secure through movement, and the fabric offers UPF 50+ sun protection for long sessions in the sun. This makes it great for busy moms and active women who want coverage, confidence, and easy movement. For extreme competitive water sports or situations needing a wetsuit or compression-only gear, you might prefer a specialized performance suit, but for everyday active beach life the Tofino Top is a versatile, supportive pick.
Yes. The Tofino Top is available in D and DD sizing and is built to provide high support for fuller busts. Its longline tank silhouette distributes support across the torso, and the V-neck with structured bust panels plus wide straps reduces bounce and improves lift compared to narrow-strap bikini tops. The product is specifically flagged with D/DD sizing and Fit to Flatter attributes, so it was designed with larger cup shapes in mind. This is ideal for curvy women who want coverage, shape, and comfort for both swim and active beach wear. If you need underwire-level shaping or very specialized separation, a wired swimsuit style may offer a different fit, but for most busty wearers the Tofino delivers reliable support and comfort.
Yes. The Tofino Top is made in line with Carve Designs' commitment that 100 percent of the collection uses recycled, upcycled, or organic materials and contains no toxic chemical finishes, so it’s both more sustainable and gentler on skin. The swim fabric is engineered for sun-safe wear with UPF 50+ protection and labeled as suitable for surf-to-sweat activities, which helps protect skin from UV exposure during outdoor use. That combination makes it a good option for shoppers who care about material provenance and skin sensitivity but still want stylish, elevated swimwear. If you have severe dermatitis or a specific chemical allergy, check fabric care tags and consider doing a brief rinse before first wear or consulting a dermatologist for personal guidance.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this swim top offers excellent coverage and support while staying comfortable for active water activities. Many appreciate how it keeps everything secure during swimming, paddleboarding, and other sports without worrying about slipping or shifting. The soft, quality material feels comfortable against skin and maintains its shape well. Users find the fit flattering and true to size, though some mention sizing down for extra support or that it runs slightly snug initially but loosens in water. The longline style provides good back coverage, making it popular among moms seeking modest yet stylish options. While most praise the supportive design, a few with larger busts wish for more built-in support. Some note the padded inserts can be visible in solid colors but work well in prints.

    top is ok

    This top is ok but unfortunately I bought it final sale with the bottoms pictured and this combo wasn't working for me. Seemed there was just enough space between the top and bottom to create an unflattering fat roll on my back. Top seemed a little big in the chest but tight in the band.

    Torfino Top: Black

    I am in my 60's and very busty. I was very skeptical that my newly purchased Torfino top would adequately fit as the CARVE sizing stated. I was very wrong thankfully! This top fits perfectly and is extremely comfortable to wear under my zippered swimsuit top. I have loved my CARVE purchases.

    Athletic top

    Bought to have more coverage for some outdoor events this summer. Comfortable. The pattern colors are more muted in person.

    Exceeds Expectations

    Really nice top for more conservative coverage. I am a small B cup, for reference. Paired this with the Hoku swim skirt, but based on where this top falls just at/above my waist, any bottoms could work well with it. 10/10 would reccomend!
