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.

I bought one of the blue and one of the orange 2 years ago. Used twice a week since, and only now I have to buy a new costume, only due to loss of colour and elasticity is starting to loosen. The fit when I bought them was fantastic, so supportive, used it for spin before swimming, very flattering, and the durability of the costumes are excellent. I was very distraught, alarmed and upset when 2-3 months ago to find I could no longer get them anywhere. Please don't ever remove from permanent stock, I'm ecstatic they're back. I will be buying this purple/blue one at the weekend. Thank you!

I bought this first in April and was disappointed when the fabric went a few months later - but loved the fit and style so much I bought another in Sept when my size was back in stock thinking I had just been unlucky. Now after only wearing a handful of times it has disintegrated again. Super super disappointed as this is by far the best designed and fit swimsuit for a 38G I have found. I always wash and dry after swimming and don't use this in the sun so there is a problem with the fabric Speedo. Complete lycra failure and ended up see through - it failed very quickly , was OK before the aquarobics class and a disaster after. I cannot fault Bravissimo as they have refunded me for the 2nd suit - but seriously Speedo - get this sorted for next years swimsuits!!

I know some reviews have commented that it wears out quickly. I've only just bought this so can't comment on that yet, but I've found the shape and fit really good. I'm 5'3" and this is the right size in the body for me. It's not too high cut on the hips, or too low cut. The underwiring helps give a good shape and support. Hope mine lasts better than some others who have bought this one!

Last year I bought the premier ultimate sports swimsuit, it has been hand washed in water only but it is now starting to disintegrate. I swim regularly but require a supportive swim suit. I am very disappointed with it as the year before I purchased the same item in navy, the colour faded but no other issues as it stayed in shape, will need to use it again for swimming, I have noticed the fabric of the one last year is not the same quality as the one before. I have just been reading other reviews on this item, it seems to be a general fault.

At first this appeared to be a really good fit and secure for all the jumping around. Disappointed that it hasn't lasted more than 6 months - only using twice a week - rinsed and used handwash setting only - wearing out on the sides already. Difficult to do clasp up once on so have to do it up first.
