The neckline was very tight on my throat as I put it on, and it was so unconfortable, there was no way I was going to wear it that way, if even for just a short period.  So I didn't cross it in front and just connected it behind the neck, like a halter.  Not great, but at least I was able to wear it.  Otherwise, the material and size was comfortable.  But I wasn't happy that I couldn't wear it as pictured.  I already have a halter style, and if I would have known this would turn out the same, I wouldn't have bought it.
