    Lovely swimsuit

    Bought the Essential plum swimsuit as I loved the colour and style. It’s really well made and washes great. I sized up as I’m 6ft1 so wanted to make sure it was long enough in the body, it is, just! It does mean that the bottom doesn’t get as much coverage as it might and the top pulls down slightly after a swim. I wish Deakin and Blue would include a longer length swimsuit in their range…

    Compliments!

    Received our lifeguard‘s unreserved approval at one of my outdoor swimming places, and I have to agree with her! It just makes you feel good. Super-comfortable, fits perfectly, and was a nice sale price, too.

    A swimming costume to be proud of !

    My 4 th swimsuit from Deakin and Blue - they basically put all other swimsuits in the shade ! Love the strength and hold of their swimwear and they stay in place I have had mastectomy and reconstructive surgery in the past - and a bit “‘lopsided” but one would never know wearing this swimwear With Deakin and Blue - swimming in the blue feels new !

    Plum, but too much bum

    Really like the fit at the front, but wanted much more coverage on my bum. Had to be sure to pull it down before exiting the water. Will only wear it in the company of good friends.
