Nice costume
Yes, I recommend this
The costume is lovely, has good support. However I don’t find it’s true to size. It was extremely tight and cut in a little around the straps.

A nice swimsuit but, unfortunately, the straps were too narrow for me so reluctantly I had to return it.

Swim in style with this gem
Yes, I recommend this
I need a longer length costume and a plus size so they are difficult to find. This one is easy to get on and is very supportive. Yes it is a bit longer but I could do with another 1.5 inches.

Lovely costume, shame about the size
No, I don't recommend this
Yesterday I purchased 3 items from one of the York stores. I bought Secret Slimming™ Water Stripe Bandeau Swimsuit, (Size 24 !!!!), Palm plunge halter neck swimsuit (Size 22) & a pair of linen shorts. As I prefer to try on items in the comfort of my own home, I purchased them straight away.Once home, showing my family my new purchases, I realised that this swimsuit would absolutely NOT fit, I even wondered if it was wrongly labeled. Even my friend who is a size 6 - 8 said it would only just fit her. Whilst I appreciate it's supposed to be a "secret slimming swim suit", there was absolutely no way it was going to fit and when held alongside the swimsuit that's "Smaller" (according to the label,) the "Bigger" swimsuit must have been 8 sizes smaller. Very VERY disappointed

different
Yes, I recommend this
I bought this because there are so few 8 long swimsuits. Excellent fit on top but tiny bit big around top of my legs. Very comfortable to swim in and makes a change from the boring basic costume . Lovely colours.

Great for smaller sizes
Yes, I recommend this
I loved this but the pattern did nothing for me - being a plus size the stripes were going in the wrong direction and the top part was just too bulky, so it was returned. I think on a smaller person it would be fabulous.

I returned this swimsuit, very poor quality, bad fit, it was all creased, Marks and Spencer have lost their way with their sizes and quality.

Returned, not a good fit
No, I don't recommend this
There are not many long swimsuits, so having found one in my size I ordered. Very disappointing, the white background colour looked dull and faded. I get all my swim suits from m&s, bring back the styles from a couple of years ago, and some bright colours please ! Lacking in style and shape !

Waste of money
No, I don't recommend this
I liked the style and pattern, and the fit. However, after only 4 days the thread started to come away on the breast support, which made wearing it very itchy and uncomfortable. Then on the fifth day the loop that held one of the shoulder straps came apart. The costume held up pretty well because there is good support, but after about 10 minutes (gentle) swimming the whole thing came down. A good thing we were swimming privately! I’m really annoyed at the poor quality, especially since I bought it at full price and now I discover that it’s massively discounted.

slimming swimwear
Yes, I recommend this
Can we worn strapless so back is quite high and its tighter around the top. Suggest go up a size otherwise it could be a struggle to get it on and off especially if it is wet!

My water stripe Bandeau Swimsuit
Yes, I recommend this
This swimsuit looks great and feels good. I cannot comment on the durability or if it retains its colour but judging by previous swimsuit purchases I am sure this one will pass the test.

Disappointing Colour
No, I don't recommend this
I should have read the other reviews before ordering. The picture online looked bright and vibrant, but when the swimsuit arrived I was surprised by the dull sandy colour stripe which made the overall colour very dull and washed out. Sorry to say I returned it which was a shame as the number of longer length swimsuits is very limited.

Slimming swimsuit
Yes, I recommend this
Great fit and the straps are very comfortable. If it wears as well as my previous M&S swimsuits I will be delighted.
