I'm still getting used to styling the fabric, which is really slinky and there's plenty of it. I got this in twilight blue, which has a little more evergreen to it than my laptop shows. It looks more like a slate blue on my screen. I agree with the other reviewer that this style has more coverage, which I prefer for many situations, and also agree it holds you in really well. Does not make you look flat, either! The strap ties were also not too short for me, though they are shorter than most. With the halter strap, which fit shockingly well for my 5' frame, this top isn't going anywhere! I actually got it in a size 6 even though I'm a 36A, and I definitely don't think I'd go down a size. Beware of this swimsuit's care! It specifically says "no spas or heated pools...may bleed when exposed to sunlight, chlorine, or saltwater...avoid suntan lotions and deodorants near swimsuit." Is there anything you can safely do in this swimsuit?! Suckers like me will keep it because it's pretty and fits (small people, at least) really well.
