Tried and tested by Yours writer, Rosie Floyd:
**"**I love, love, love the print of this swimming cossie. I, personally, can't get enough animal prints in my wardrobe, especially when I'm on holiday. I like how the belt detail breaks up the print of the swimsuit, and the fact it cinches me in at the waist is an added bonus."

With fixed straps and guaranteed tummy control, this Colour Piping Swimsuit is another great choice. The patterned piping is very clever and leads your eyes away from the bodice – making this an extra-special flattering pick. Complete with the polyamide mesh material, it comes equipped with extra support to give you a little confidence when you go for a swim. With full coverage, it’ll be great if you’re looking for something a little less revealing. Pair with your favourite sandals and hit the pool.

This New Look cossie averages 4.3/5 stars on-site, with high praise for the quality and comfort. Fit and length are equally said to be “true to sizing”. But, what do the customers say? One customer (aged between 45 to 54) says it’s the best they’ve ever had! They praise the fantastic quality and flattering fit –they claim many strangers asked them where they bought it. Another customer said the black didn’t fit them as well – but the white colourway was comfy and fit well.
