Tummy Control Halterneck Retro Floral Swimsuit

Thes bathers are great, very flattering on a slightly larger lady (size 16). They are great design and colour!

This costume was a real struggle to get on. The top half is so tight that I struggled to get it past my hips. I persevered, but once on the bottom half was slightly baggy! It did look great on and I was almost tempted to keep it but it was a lot of money for such a poor fit. Such a shame.

This swimsuit is designed to look like a 2 piece tankini and is almost that. There is a nude coloured body attached to the bottoms. The colourful flowery top half is on a separate piece of material joined at the shoulder seams. If you were to wear it in the water, the top layer of material will ride up showing the nude underlay. Such a strange design feature. Also comes up very small. I'm usually an M&S size 10 but struggled with the 12.

Nice costume, looks better in reality than on the website. The top half does tend to ride up as you swim just leaving the under layer showing which is not ideal although in my experience this does tend to be a problem on this design of swimsuit. Apart from that am very pleased.

I have bought several swimsuits from M & S and always been really pleased so had no hesitation in buying another. Being out of season I ordered on-line and the same size I am currently wearing and have been wearing for years. I haven't put on any weight especially not around my thighs but that was where the problem was. The stitching under the bust had no give and I couldn't actually get it even as far as my backside. Perhaps it was just me because the model obviously didn't have that problem. It looked really good but sadly I had to return it.
