I recently went on a "halter bra" kick and ordered a bunch of different halter bras. I got this in beige originally. Of all the b ras I ordered, this bra has by far become my "go to" bra, so i ordered another in black. It has a nice fit and the halter strap is easily  adjustable so it is not too tight or too loose. It is true, that under certain shirts and dresses you can see the strap, but this would be the same for any halter bra--its a particular style, and just like anything else you have to consider what you're wearing with it, so I don't think thats a reason to dock the bra any points. Overall, very satisfied
