help name clothing

It's a cross-strap bikini top. Or perhaps to be more specific call it a midriff cross strap bikini top or mention that the straps cross the midriff or tummy.
 
I'm not sure there's a canonical name for it. I'd just describe it:

String bikini style top with extra wraparound rib strings.

I'd be amazed if there were a name for this which would, in a word, convey how this garment looks and how it's shaped. If there is, it's a word I don't know.

It's a newer type of cut but it is called a cross strap, or affectionately, a strappy. Although the cross straps could be over the tummy, the back or the breasts.

That's a better option than using a term that might be technically accurate but won't tell your audience what it actually looks like.
 
Well, using google lens on the top didn't really help. Strappy crop, bralette, strap bikini...
 
Call it what you will, the important thing here is to create a clear image in the mind of the reader.

In any case, the only people who care about precision in the name (interesting though it may be) are women. Men just think of it as 'hot' or 'in the way'.😛
