The fabric is soft and comfortable, the texture is nice for visual interest, and the color did not disappoint! Exactly as pictured. This top doesn't give much lift, but I do feel supported and feel that I can swim in the ocean freely without worrying about the top moving. Love that the straps and the band are adjustable. I wish there were individual underwires for each cup rather than one long connected underwire across the entire front of the top; having metal in the center can be uncomfortable at times and prevents you from folding this top, which stinks for storage.
