    Fabulous colour, fit, feel and quality.

    The X back is the 2nd D&B cossie I have bought. The material is beautifully soft and very supportive being double layered. The colours are lovely, I chose the cobalt which is a zingy blue. The quality is superb. Initially I was reluctant to spend quite so much on a cossie but previous cheaper (much cheaper) cossies just faded and lost their stretch very quickly so it is probably a false economy to buy them. The best thing about D&B cossies are they are such a joy to wear.

    Have had my first swim in this and very happy with the look fit and feel. Did feel a bit disappointed that I ordered 2 items and both came in the wrong size and shape. Return and customer service was straight forward, am keeping this one.

    Fabulous swimsuit! Tips for E/F cup size.

    I love this swimsuit! Lots of compliments about the cross-back from friends at my swimming pool. I couldn't decide between cobalt and plum - both gorgeous, strong colours. I'm between cup size E/F. I first ordered a Monroe (cup C-E) because other swimsuits have quite a lot of stretch usually, but the D&B fabric is different: quite a firm hold, which once you get used to makes you feel wonderful! No saggy bits at all :) However, this means the Monroe wasn't quite roomy enough for me. I then ordered a Hendricks (cup F-H) in Plum which is a better fit AND now have the choice of colour too!
