This swimsuit is adorable! I love the plunge, the color, everything. The shape it gives me is natural and rounded, with some uplift. There is only one hook - if the band doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Fortunately, it fitted me. The straps are ties, and they converge together in the back as 4 strings. If tied wrong, they can be a little bulky or make the top of the cups of the bikini lie funny, but tying them in a knot first to get the positioning, then a bow for looks, seems to have worked for me. I have rather narrow breasts so the underwires aren't perfectly ... shaped for me, but they're narrow enough to be less of an issue than I thought they might be. I typically wear a 5" or 4.5" underwire. I am neither FOT nor FOB, but have a more even distribution to my breasts. I filled out the bottom and the top of the cups, but given that this bikini is a halter, I think it would work for someone with more shallow breasts than me, too. I've worn it once now, and it kept me safe and secure and cute the whole time, despite dives and jumps.
Oh! I forgot to mention. The label, located in the wing of the bra and pointed downward, itched like mad so I ripped it out.
EDIT: After a little wear, one of the underwires ripped out for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I need to sew it back in.
