Smart style

Yes, I recommend this

Really liked this top, as it is good length, no gaps in the middle! Unless I want them! Was pleasantly surprised at how well this fitted. size 12 does seem more like previous years 14. Good firm top, wish you also made some with bandeau tops and detachable straps. Overall a good buy, and was able to find bottoms in store as sold out on line. So overall a good set.

Nice design but not most flattering

No, I don't recommend this

Stripes bring out a chic, nice nautical flair, but unfortunately not a keeper for me due to a very tight fit and non-flattering (makes one look wide)

Tanki Top

Yes, I recommend this

Good quality and fit but not suitable for holiday wear in very hot climate because it is lined. Visited Spain recently where temperatures were 98 degrees daily and the top was just too uncomfortable in these temperatures. Will try again in cooler weather

Tankini

Yes, I recommend this

Although I love the style and colour,it is quite tight. I have a narrow top half so was surprised with the fit. I think the next size up would be too big though. I have teamed it with the plain navy blue bottoms.

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely design. Appearance as described. Fit well. A little low at the front. Like the straps and can be worn without them.

Nice cut

Yes, I recommend this

The tankini top has a nice cut and interplay of horizontal lines. The bra is a bit heavily padded - maybe not so useful after you have been in the pool. I wish a bottom part came with it rather than the boring black option available (though not always in the right size). The tankini is on the pricey side as it costs almost as much, if not more than a full swimsuit.

Smart tankini top

Yes, I recommend this

I also bought navy boy shorts to team with this and the whole outfit looks smart. I have never worn tankinis before but am now converted. The ruching is slimming and flattering and the garment looks more expensive than it was. Excellent value

Very Flattering Tankini Top

Yes, I recommend this

This is a very flattering tankini top, with the structured bust support and ruffled sides. Gives a great shape. Found it perfect in terms of cup size, but initially felt a little tight across the back. Then again, most tankinis feel like this as they need to keep everything in place! Nice thick material, good quality. Paired with the plain navy bottoms and think it works really well.

very smart

Yes, I recommend this

Good fit, looks good, only negative is I wish it was not cut so low, I personally like a little more coverage, but apart from from that it's lovely.

Lovely holiday tankina

Yes, I recommend this

This tankina top is just what I expected, it feels good on and fits perfectly. I would have liked the choice of plain coloured bottoms to match.

Hides a multitude!

Yes, I recommend this

I was very pleased with the Tankini top, I have 2 others from previous years and really liked them. The overall look is quite flattering. Would like to see more of the same design in some nice bright colours.
