Oh my....could M&S have possibly come up with a less flattering swimming cotume?

The model doesn't exactly help matters either.

Yuck!

Actually, yes they could and here it is...

You'd have a truly bizarre tan line with that first one.

It looks like something a wrestler would wear.

Crimes against vision both of them

This one is pretty unpleasent too.

i kinda like it.

oh my giddy aunt @ GoingTooFast's one.

it's the way a there is a dark triangle of pattern just in the pube position.

no, i absolutely love all three.

I think they are both pretty horrible, but I don't understand your comment about the model. She looks like a pretty girl and a normal size.

Who the hell writes the descriptions? Beautifully stylish, flattering and pretty are not words that should be associated which such items.

"the model doesn't exactly help matters either."

what do you mean?

i have almost the EXACT same swimsuit as the one in the OP

i think it looks quite good on me

They're all boggin'.

I wish I looked as bad as the OP thinks the model does.

The model has a beautiful figure.

whats wrong with the second one?

Why do you think I'm commenting on her figure? My comment related to the fact that her colouring doesn't suit the costume at all and it just makes her look completely washed out. All in all, a bad combo.

I think that they are a Pistol Panties type look.

If I had the physique, I would wear something similar...and if I had it, I would splash out and flaunt it in something else/skimpier IYSWIM.

The second one is hideous, even for a tankini.

Can't stand these monokini style swimsuits. If you want to wear a bikini wear one if you think your stomache is too fat, too crepey, too many stretch marks wear a one piece!

I think unless you have a totally flat tummy this style would just emphasise it and not disguise it.

I like the second one too. Bikini's and small children aren't a good mix as they pull at my clothes, at least I'd get a bit more of a tan with than one.

I'll get it when I go to Rio, Cornwall this year.

What I want to know with those combo things is what happens when you bend forward? Does the fabric gape weirdly?

I find the review comments very odd indeed. Agree with you tunip that that dark scrubby bit round the pubes is weird
