Flattering costume

Yes, I recommend this

A very flattering swimsuit, I’m 5ft11, size 16/18 and it’s ok in the length, would have gone for the longer length if they did it in this style, I went up a size, to compensate, which is fine.

Lovely from the front

Yes, I recommend this

Stylish costume that was flattering from the front with the dark spotted side panels, and pulls you in nicely. However I was gutted to see it from the back - the horizontal stripes made me look huge. If it had the same panels on the back as you see on the front it would have been great. Had to be returned sadly.

Makes me feel nice.

Yes, I recommend this

Very pleased with this item, tried it on and it fits really well. I am 5` 4 inches and the length of the costume fits well, the control panel for the tummy area does a good job and looks better than a bikini that's for sure !!. I was concerned about the cup in the cosi but that also fits well, and gives me some shape considering that it is not underwired or over padded. I would recommend this item for fit and comfort.I can not say as yet about the wear and tare because the holiday is not for a short while.

Good support

Yes, I recommend this

Only bought as birthday 20% and further 20% birthday present. Ok for average size chest if you have big chest might be a bit tight. Support is good. Not high up the leg a standard shape so good for the older woman.I think you can get just as good at other shops but when you use a 20% then it’s not such a bad price. I would not pay £29.99 for it. But at the price I paid it was worth it. I’m 5ft 4 inches in height might not be so good on a taller person.

Another good swimsuit for plus size ladies

Yes, I recommend this

I've only just received it recently so can't be sure about colour retention and durability but I have loads of different M&S swimsuits and they have all worn extremely well.I think this one will be equally as successful.

Very small in the bust

No, I don't recommend this

I was gutted this didn’t fit as the style is lovely, but the bust is small. Maybe a B Cup . Had to go back I’ve marked I wouldn’t recommend to s friend but honestly it would depend on her bust size

Too short in length

Yes, I recommend this

So sad I absolutely loved this bather but it was far far too short in length and had to return it. I am 5'8" and often the regular length will fit but no way with this one. Please M&S either make them longer or do a longer length version for sale.
