    This is a great swimming costiume, a bit tight, but that's good because it pulls your tummy in. Low leg makes is suitable for slightly older ladies( I am 49). As advised, I purchased size bigger and it fits perfectly.

          It survived Aqua Zumba!!

          An excellent swimsuit which did not wriggle about or expose my body bits. Looks lovely and stylish and the side ruching is very flattering. I love the lower leg and it feels perfect on length and size for me. I wear an 8-10 in clothes and I ordered the Navy 10 and it fits perfectly.
          I am a 34C and it fitted fine on the top half also.

          Such a nice change from my usual boring sporty swimsuits!

              I have just come back from a weeks holiday for which I bought this swimsuit and have decided to buy another one in a different colour I loved this one so much. I felt great walking around wearing it and even let my other half take a photo of me in it - and that's saying something. I'm 5'4" and take a 10 in trousers and a 12 on top and the size 12 swimsuit fitted perfectly. Can't comment on durability as only wore it for a week but it seems fine.

                  very nice swimsuit, very comfortable. good fit and length. the radish colour was a bit bright and the style of the cups was not for me, not enough support (2 children have taken their toll).

                      Oh my dear Mr B, you were so close with this one. I ordered a size 8, and it was well fitted and supportive, the leg not too high, and not too low. The pattern (the navy folk floral) was lovely, and a true reflection of the photograph. But the straps Mr Boden, the straps. As a slight pear like shape, it would have been so much more flattering if you had made the neckline wider with the straps approximately an inch out towards my shoulders. Where they were placed meant that it gave me a very strange shape indeed. So, they're going back I'm sorry to say. So close, and yet so far....

                            This is the best swimsuit I ever had! I am way past bikinis and do not feel very confident in swimsuits either, but this one is perfect - flattering in every way! On me (5'4") it is neither too short nor too long in the body and my usual size was spot on - just right. The boy leg style and the ruching in the front as well as the neckline and straps are very flattering. I love the vintage style and pattern and fresh colours (Radish Marseilles). Okay, this swimsuit is a pretty "safe" bet, but it just ticks all the boxes for me. It looks nice without being frumpy. If I have to don a swimsuit, this is the one I want to be seen in. A most definite keeper!

                                  Lovely fit, very flattering, like the removable padding in cups.
                                  Will be great for holidays and swimming at the local pool. I actually feel good in this costume.
