As much as I loved the fit, after a few wears the costume begins to disintegrate and becomes see-through and patchy. Avoid the disappointment.

Have to concur with other reviews. I really like this design and previously had one which I used regularly. I only needed to replace it when the black colour had faded to grey. Unfortunately, my current swimsuit, bought in June last year and not used as often, has disintegrated under the bust and in the small of the back. A pity as its is a stylish garment and extremely good for 'proper' swimming.

I bought this suit in coral a while ago but have not worn it until very recently. I have been so pleased with the fit and support it gives me, although I have quite small hips, and find it a little big in the bottom area but not what I would call baggy at all! I’ve hand washed it immediately after my aqua class and hung to dry and to date it’s been fine. After reading some of the reviews about it here I’m now waiting to see what happens!

Have had several of the old navy and orange suits, and while they didn’t last ages, I was happy enough with them. Bought the blue version at the end of December and have just had to bin it as the fabric at the back perished completely. Something this expensive should really last longer than two months. Very disappointed and won’t be buying it again.

This has only just arrived so I can't comment on how well it will wear but I have looked at the comments on that subject. I like this swimsuit very much for a general swimming costume. The fit is good and the straps have enough adjustment for me. The fabric also has enough interest in it so that it is not too utilitarian. I am quite short and the fit is good on me so maybe a taller person would find that a problem. I only hope it lasts!

I've been a Bravissimo customer for years, buying lots of lovely lingerie, sports wear, swimming suits and clothes. Most items have been brilliant. I bought the gold version of this swim suit a good while ago now and its still going well only recently showing signs of wear and tear. However, the pink/coral version I bought for my holiday last year was awful, I had a few swimwear choices so only wore it a couple of times on holiday and it started to disintegrate straight away. I contacted customer services via email and I still haven't had a reply or replacement as yet. I don't really want to try the blue if it does the same thing although it looks good but its very strange, the material must be very different to the gold one. Not happy.

I'm so happy with this as the fit is perfect and so comfortable.

I loved this swimsuit when I bought it, loved it so much I bought 2 to last me through the season. However, after wearing the same one for 6-7 swims, embarrassingly it started to disintegrate in the most inconvenient places! I wrote to customer services whom confirmed the fault and replaced it for me. I started to wear the second suit that I had bought, then it too started to perish. Frustrated, I contacted customer service who have fully refunded me the money for two suits. I didn’t dare to try the replacement they sent, just returned it. I would love to buy this suit again because the fit is amazing; but will not waste my money until the fabric is more durable.
