I absolutely love the retro gingham fabric and the super supportive feel it gives. However this swimsuit is not for me. I do struggle with swimsuits generally as I’m smaller on top that on hips and the top just didn’t fit properly. Had it been empire line it would have worked, but the waist made it look rather frumpy. I have, however bought the bikini in the same fabric, which is just perfect.

I have never in my life had a swimsuit that provides adequate support and decided it was time to change that. This suit is gorgeous, flattering and very supportive.

I bought this online and was worried that it would either be too revealing or it wouldn't fit me because of my height (I'm 5'2). But I absolutely love it!! It's super cute, I'm usually not comfortable wearing swimsuits but this make your stomach look great, and the little details like the bow in the front and the polka dots add to the charm. I haven't gone swimming in it yet so I can't say how it holds up, but so far 10/10. (I usually wear a 32D but I find that Bravissimo swimsuits fit me better in a 28E.)

At last! Found a swimsuit I actually like! I’m a bigger lady, and obviously hate wearing swimwear, but this swimsuit, I actually feel pretty decent in! But Bravissimo, please do this design in different colour/pattern options as well! I want and need a second costume for holiday.

This is really the best swimsuit I’ve ever bought! It is so flattering! I’m buying a second one as a back up, I love it so much! Congratulations to whoever made the patterns for this as it must be a hard one to get right! Please please do more prints and colours? It would also make an amazing block for a dress with the tie top! Thanks.

This just felt very strange on. Kind of baggy under the armpits, tight on the bottom, unflattering on the belly and the front was lower than I expected. Definitely sending it back. Shame as other reviews were very positive.

I ordered this glorious swimsuit for my first holiday in over 11 years. Unsurprisingly, I am no longer the shape I was and finding something that I didn't feel would terrify everyone around me or that I felt ok in was horribly hard and then I put this on. I felt fabulous. It is a really lovely swimsuit with little extras that make you feel glamorous. It is a flattering cut and the mix of fabric helped disguise all sorts of bits of me that I was worried about. But now the sad bit. I am too short for it. Because it doesn't have adjustable straps the support for my boobs was non existent and everything went south, east and west! The underwire was there (but near my tummy button!) and the cups were there but they had no structure or at least the structure was not high enough up for me. I returned my first costume (36H) to go down a size (36G) to see if that might make a difference but sadly no. This is a great costume, rush out and buy it especially if you haven't braved a holiday costume (as opposed to an everyday costume) for a while, you will feel wonderful. But not for me, I am so sad that I couldn't make it work and am dreaming of the day that somehow Bravissimo manage to find a way to have adjustable length straps beneath the strap fabric. If I had more time I would buy it anyway and find someone to alter it for me, I loved it that much!

Best swimming costume I’ve ever purchased! I felt so comfortable wearing it on holiday and would definitely recommend especially as the staff were so helpful with sizings, just hoping they bring this style out in more colours!
