I really wanted to like this swimsuit as it ticked so many boxes... modest neckline, light tummy control - after 3 kids my tummy is past wearing a bikini, and I don't really want to be continually checking I'm covered up top! But the cups were just really funny. The padding was just too much, and the cups seemed huge. As in really huge. I'm usually between a HH and J, but both these sizes were far too big. So I'd def downsize on the cup if you fancy this swimsuit. The leg was cut quite high, but not uncomfortably so, but if you are quite tall you might find this too short in the body. I'm 5'5" and it was just right. I returned the two sizes I got and would have ordered the H cup, but it was sold out! Ah well, it doesn't look like we will be going on holiday this year anyway!

Went into the shop and tried this on. I absolutely loved it! As you all know, trying to find a swimsuit you love is not an easy task. I went home and tried it on again. This time the natural light showed me what I had missed in the shop...the uneven padding in the top area. Hoping it was a one off mistake, I went back to the shop and tried on three others. Nope. It was a design flaw in that style. C’mon, Bravissimo, is this really good enough?

I really loved the design of this swimsuit, but the moulded cups just don’t work unfortunately. They’re all lumpy and look awful. Have returned.

I purchased this as I had purchased a similar one in black with sheer, I thought it was a similar style with no cleavage on show. Bit disappointed as I am away at the moment and have the black and this one with me but I have decided not to wear it as I can’t seem to get the pads correct and they look unsightly in this colour suit. Hopefully I can return it when I get home

I really like the look the look of this costume but am disappointed with the fit. The white part is distracting and it does give good coverage if you don’t like cleavage on show. The down side is the bottom part is too roomy with not enough pull or tension, you just spread out in it. Had to send it back. Would suit somebody with very slim hips though.

When I saw this design, it was everything I wanted - elegant but sporty with good coverage without looking frumpy. I was a little concerned with the reviews, but I went ahead and decided to give it a go, and following some of the ladies' recommendations got one cup size smaller. Upon trying it on, the silhouette and style was very flattering and although I had to fiddle a little with the padded cups to create a nice smooth finish, it wasn't too bad. The support felt good and the length ok. However... (and this is the main reason I'm not atm sure if I want to keep it or not) the bra padding is -very- visible through the white fabric which pretty much ruins the otherwise beautifully sleek design, and presumably would become even more prominent when the suit is wet. The picture doesn't show this issue at all and it's sadly very disappointing.

I was unsure about ordering this suit because of other reviews, however I do not regret it. I took the advice of the person who suggested going for a smaller cup size to avoid any unsightly bunching of the pads on top and it fits really well. Overall the suit is very classic and perfect for those wanting something without cleavage or a cone shaped bust. If you have a high waist like I do, the middle line may not sit in the right place though, so perhaps not the best choice for long torsos or very high waisted ladies. Very pleased with this purchase.

I loved this swimsuit; bought it in red. On first try, it was really flattering (I don't have hips, very straight body and the feature across the middle gave the illusion of a waist!) Bought it in the shop full of optimism that I could bear to be seen in a swimsuit. Tried it on again at home and realise it is too short in the body for me (often an issue with swimsuits), so much so that it was pulling the cups and under-wiring right down, so unflattering and uncomfortable on my body shape - shame no options for "long body"...Will have to return
