I purchased one of the black patterns for a music festival. This piece proved very attractive and flexible. The pattern looks exactly like the photo and I just love the open back! You have to thread the string yourself, but it's easy to figure out. You can make it as tight or loose as you like. I'm 5'10" with a size A bust and it was perfect coverage for me. I can't say how it would fit for someone with a larger bust. It never came loose during the seven hours I wore it. Only down is that it's made of cheap material, although it has already survived two washes on hand wash, cold cycle with line drying.
