Flash Piped Swimsuit with Chlorine Resistant

I bought this swimsuit (and another in a different style) in the Spring to use at my local gym. I wear it on average twice a week for about 50 minutes a time and it is properly washed and dried after each use. I like the style and have no problem at all with the fit - however I am so very disappointed with the colour fastness of the fabric - it has very noticeably faded to the extent that I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed to wear it - it looks like I've had it for years not three months. I'm starting to look around for a replacement as it will soon be not fit to be seen out at all. Such a shame as I was pleased with the price and the fit - but the fading is a real negative.

Sorry M&S but I had to return this item as the leg opening was baggy, far too big, I have never had this problem before with your swimming costumes. Other wise it fitted well and was of a good quality

I was really pleased with this costume when I first bought it - very comfortable and fitted well. I swim or go to aqua classes 5 times a week and within 2 weeks, even though the costume is marketed as "chlorine resistant" it has now faded and feels like it is thinner and baggier. I am very disappointed as I bought a few of these costumes due to the initial comfort and fit. I have now returned the costumes and got my money back.

I bought this for swimming and aquarobics, and have just worn it once. I thought that the comments by others on a baggy bottom were exaggerated when it was dry, but when moving in the pool the costume didn't feel as snug as I would like. I like the visual design though.

Great look until you realise the elastic around top of thigh so "slack" and flimsy it is impossible to feel comfortable and unwearable.Very disappointing. Have bought masses of swimsuits in past. Some fabulous! But in last years selection very poor and my sizes 14/16 longer length always sold out .need to "get a grip""Literally! MJW

The body fit was very good for a tall person. But the leg high. Shame, I would really like a safer low leg

Pleased with this because of colour - navy - and longer length. Have tried on and a good fit - not too tight. Haven'e been to the pool yet

This swimsuit is padded although it is not described as such on the website. I am in the swimming pool for one hour on a daily basis and want swimsuits that are chlorine resistant and prefer longer length, but I do not want padding. Unfortunately M&S do many swimsuits but they all seem to be aimed at posing rather than actually swimming. It should be possible to produce swimsuits that are both functional and attractively styled. We don't all want prefabricated cups - what's wrong with natural female curves?

Nice material. Comes in a long fit which is why I chose it. Baggy round the thighs, in fact, hopeless. I would recommend it to a friend with large hips! I sent it back.

I was very disappointed with the fit of this swimsuit. I have had M & S swimsuits for many years and this one and the other one I ordered (longer body) were both very badly fitting round the bottom. Baggy is the only way to describe them. It seemed as though there was much too much 'give' in the elastic. I had to return both suits.

An Ideal costume for swimming lengths at local pool

I liked this costume and bought my normal size 12 R. I know that my shape has not changed in the last year. The fit was fine except for the baggy bottom which made it unusable. Tried a second one but it was the same. Got a refund on both. Disappointing.

I ordered this swimsuit for my wife as she liked the style and colour. It is described as "Non padded" which is what was wanted. On collection it was found to be padded, so of no use. This is the second swimsuit incorrectly described as non padded when it is padded. This has wasted time, cost petrol money to collect and return, and put me off buying online.

I was very disappointed with this costume. It was very thin, came up small and if you are bigger than an 'a' cup then don't bother
