I purchased this swimsuit to replace an existing swim dress. The swim dress allowed modesty, but hampered my efforts in my swimming class for beginners. The straps are not adjustable, but they stretch. I have an pear figure and the swimsuit fits perfect. Normally the suit would be too large in the bust. The navy blue coloring is figure flattering. The criss-cross straps in the back add pizzazz to an otherwise basic swimsuit. I am very happy that I purchased this item.
