Secret Slimming™ Matt & Shine Padded Sporty Swimsuit

Very good value for money. A very good fitting swim suit and perfect for "proper" swimming.

Nice costume but requires a bit more material in the bust area as has been mentioned on a previous review. Unfortunately I didn't read it until after purchase and sent it back.

This was exactly the style I was after but with hindsight I should have paid more attention to the reviews. The fit is terrible. The cross is far to high at the top of your back and it pushes and pulls you in all the wrong places. I bought a size 10 and it managed to completely shrink my bust and emphasize my tummy.

I could have fitted my beach towel in the sag at the back of this suit which was a shame because from the front it looked very nice. I ordered several different styles at once & this was the only one without an extra bra insert so it suffered by comparison on that count too.

very boxy and doesn't give you a particularly good shape. quite big had to go down a size

Very disappointed as a lovely swimsuit but had to return it as it wasn't padded as stated on website. Bust area gave no modesty if chilly.

I ordered this in two sizes - 16 and 18 - and the 16 fitted very well. It's extremely supportive, controls your tummy well and pulls you in at the waist - well as much as possible just after Christmas! I wear it for aqua aerobics and it is perfect for this - no slipping straps and i feel very confident. Well done M&S!

I am a 40 year old woman, with a Masters degree. It took me half an hour to work out how to put it on, and only succeeded by examining the pictures on here. I do not usually need illustrations to get dressed!! Once I did, it was extremely uncomfortable and not flattering in the slightest. It's going straight back.
