I bought this about 10 years ago from San-ai Swimwear. The pattern and colors are really cute! I used it 1-2 times every summer, but I haven't used it in about 3 years. Size...9M The decorative strings on the waist and the center of the chest cannot be removed. You can retie them. The hook is near the armpit (photo 4). You tie the string behind the neck to fasten it, but the thick string was originally sewn on. It is cut, so I have marked it as "slightly damaged" (photo 5). I think it will be fine if you tie it securely. If you wish, I will also include ultra-lift chest pads! (photo 6) I think it's clean except for the seams of the strings, but it's been stored by a private individual, so please understand. Type of swimwear...Bikini
