Really disappointed with this, have now returned a second swimsuit and received a refund (got a replacement after the first one). They lasted only 8-10 weeks each before the lycra degraded, shed 'white bits' and became see-through, especially under the bust, on the stomach and back. The store apologised and mentioned that a number of these swimsuits have been returned recently because of the same problem. I purchased an orange/purple/black one and then replaced with the navy blue. I swim in a pool twice a week and was meticulous about rinsing thoroughly, washing according to instructions etc, as it cost £62 and I wanted it to last! Very disappointed as it was very comfortable and fit well. Back to the drawing board now, trying to find a costume that fits me! PS I noticed on previous reviews that people have 'thrown them away' when this has happened, don't do that! return to store for a refund (up to 6 months old) and that lets the makers know what is happening so they can hopefully change their manufacturing or at least put a warning on that they last 10 weeks if you swim in a pool!

I have recently started swimming a bit more and wanted a sports type suit. I was sceptical as to whether I would find one that fitted and was supportive without getting in the way. The underwires in this suit sit perfectly! Normally a fantasie 40E but needed the 40FF to fit well.

My second costume

Only gave 4 stars as I am waiting to see how long it lasts as I was disappointed with my last swimsuit (same style and brand) as it didn't seem to last long. But the fit is true to size and extremely comfortable, I swim one to two times a week.

Normally wear a 36hh but in this suit the body is too wide so opted for 34j. Fits much better. Good support. The only thing I'd say is, I'd prefer a wider strap.

This is my second swimsuit in this style, bought one last year, different colour and loved it as it fits perfectly and looks very nice, keeps those girls in line completely!! Thank you.

Great swimsuit with super support. Use daily in north sea so if it can withstand that, it can withstand anything.

Good fit and looks flattering. The wired cups give good support. Took one star off as the ends of the wires can dig in on my chest and where it is attached the fabric can fold down a little. However, I have been looking for a swimming costume for ages and this is the best I've found (with the help of a bravissimo fitter!)
