Debenhams launches its innovative new ‘Slimsuit’ which has been dubbed a ‘diet in a swimsuit’ for its ability to create the illusion of instant inch-loss.
The fashion retailer is expecting record sales of the swimsuit, following customer research revealing that 92% of women dread getting into their swimwear and 55% of those questioned said they slimmed down prior to their holidays.
As a result, Debenhams took the measurements of 5,000 British women to help create the perfect figure-sculpting shapewear swimwear.
Sasha Nagalingham, swimwear buyer at Debenhams said: “The challenge was to use data to create a suit that accentuates the good bits, and smoothes the lumpy bits without making women feel like they’re wrapped in cling-film. It’s Spanx for the beach.”
The majority of women (55%) agreed that the top body worry when stripping off for the beach to put on a swimsuit or bikini was a flabby tummy, with the need for bust support coming a close second (37%).
A staggering 98% of women identified feeling and looking ‘shapeless’ in a swimsuit as one of their top five concerns.
Sasha continued: “All of our swimsuits already contain control panels but our customers told us they expected more. This is a cheat’s tool to getting beach ready – and in less than 10 seconds.
“You cannot find this level of support and sculpting technology anywhere else on the high street.”
The ‘Slimsuit’ is constructed from two layers of fabric – the inner layer is made from a specially designed heavier gage lining fabric which does the miracle work, while the outer layer is a slinky micro fibre which gives the suit a glamorous appearance.
Combining shapewear with traditional padded swimwear, moulded bust support lifts and separates breasts in a similar way to a bra. The suit is sized by cup size as well as dress size to allow women to find the perfect fit.
