  • Bust lined with very basic bra like structure with boning

  • Straps are adjustable. Hooks on both ends to attached to tabs on inside of front and back

  • Five elastic rows sewn vertically in back. Elastic is no longer stretchy. Could probably be replaced if you were feeling really industrious

  • Suit itself still has good stretch

  • Crotch is in good shape

This style of swimsuit is so great. I think it looks good on everybody!
