This is a very flattering and forgiving cut.  I can now see why so many women of different sizes really like this swimsuit.  I felt the most secure in this one as the top part is very well made, holds you in well, and has nice wide straps for extra support, especially if you are large chested.  For me, I opted for the skinny strap that can be worn halter style.  I appreciated having options!  I may consider ordering this in other colors.  Other reviews warned this ran small, so I ordered a size 10 instead of an 8 and I am glad that I did... anything smaller would have been way too tight.  Wiggling it over my hips was a little interesting, but doable.  I was more worried about pulling too hard and ripping the crochet part, so was extra careful.  I am 5'7", 148 lbs, 36B and the size 10 was still snug, but overall I am happy with the fit.
