M&S baffles customers with sunrise bikini which has very unfortunate design flaw

The sun is out which means it's time to put away your big jumpers and start thinking about your summer wardrobe.

And while it's not quite swimsuit weather yet, it won't be long before people start shopping for their new beach essentials.

But Marks & Spencer has baffled customers with one of the designs in this year's collection thanks to a very unfortunate pattern.

The £36.50 Printed Lace up Plunge Bikini Set features a sunset design, but many believe the bottoms look like a period stain.

The description reads: "Our palm print bikini top is a stunning way to make an entrance when you head poolside this summer.

"In a striking ombre design, this halterneck bikini top has a playful lace-up front detail with metallic trims."

The bikini costs £36.50 (Marks & Spencer)

Sharing the image on a parenting Facebook page, many people voiced their shock at the design, reports Mail Online .

One wrote: "Is it me or should they sack the designer!? Definitely not a look I want to be going for this summer!"

Another added: "Haha, why have none of the models or designers noticed! Unless it's meant to look like that."

One woman commented: "OMG why would they do that?"
