Wore once in Italy for a few hours. Top has metal in the bodice so it stays in place and ties in back. Bout for $700 all together so price is firm. Price is discounted due to discolorations. Looks perfect on. Got so many compliments wearing this! There is a tiny pink spot on end of top tie. Nothing shows from the front. Also has minor discoloration in the bodysuit/bottom part from humidify here in the Virgin Islands. Let me know if you have any questions :)
