Secret Slimming™ High Neck Oaxaca Print Swimsuit

I saw this online and wanted it straight away as it's a bit different from everything else I've looked at. The pattern is beautiful and the detailing makes it look more expensive than it is (though I think the tassels could be attached more firmly - they look like they might come off if pulled on). As someone with a slim body and larger bust I really like the high neck as it holds everything in, and the tie up back gives good support as well as a nice shape. Removable padding would have been nice but does help to give a smooth shape too. The bottom half is a little snug around the hips, would have preferred a slightly higher cut to help with this but all in all I'm pretty pleased with this swimming costume and looking forward to wearing it on the beach.

Lovely swimsuit beautiful colour. I ordered a size bigger as I have a larger bust. As you are able to lace the back up it fitted like a glove and bust was well supported.

beautiful swim costume but unfortunately it didn't work for me at all. I am only 5'2" & the neck was too high. Also there was not enough of the criss crossing strap at the back for me to be able to tie it off which is incredible given that I am so small & skinny. Had to return. Sad.

I loved this swimsuit when I saw it online and checked every day for it to come back into stock. As soon as it did I ordered it in 3 different sizes just to be sure that I'd get one size that fitted. This is so disappointing but I found the swimsuit ridiculously short in the body. Bra line was somewhere around my waist. Sent the lot back.

The colour and print are very flattering but the shape of this swimsuit is a disaster for me! The high neck flattens the bust and draws attention to the tummy! not great if you have a small bust. I would love to see this fabric used for an empire line swimsuit that enhances the bust and which is also practical for swimming. I tried a Size 10, thought it might be too big but was actually a good fit, sadly will be returning it.

I bought this swimsuit as I was due to visit a very luxurious high end spa. It looks fantastic on, very flattering, legs not too high cut, no need to constantly adjust, if you know what I mean. However, I had only just entered the pool, no serious swimming just a couple of length lets when one of the tassels was floating behind me. I picked it up in the hope I could sew it back on when I got home. As the day progressed the other tassels disintegrated...the "pool butler" had to get his net out to fish all the yellow bits of tassel out for me to return with the swimsuit to M&S after only one wear. I didn't let it ruin my day but this costume is made to pose in only.
