I guess the cut is for being a swimsuit cover-up. Probably won't be wearing my striped suit under the floral! It's short like a mini dress, yet super comfy. They remind me of those old oversize baby doll dresses girls used to wear decades ago. It's rayon and will shrink if you toss them in the dryer and maybe even warm/hot water. I cold wash and hang to dry. They've last all summer so far without issue.I ordered a couple new swimsuits and cover ups since we recently moved onto a lake. My guests immediately noticed the cover up and said how much they loved it! Another guest a different time asked where I got it and loved the design. It really is comfortable and provides just the right cover up and just the right sun. I'm going to buy some more of this style!… too small. I ordered a 3x and it fit except for the chest was slightly too snug, making the dress not flow properly. It will fit someone with a chest smaller than a DD just right, though.I love that it buttons in front. Length is perfect. Love the pattern that is why I bought it. But is not machine washable.Great quality and I am 5’8” and coverup goes to my knees perfect length. Much nicer than I expected.The cover-up is very cute and looks like a dress. Can’t wait to get it on the beach over my bathing suitVery light and airy. It's just a bit to wide, doesn't hang exactly like the picture. I will still use it.Has gathering across the back that makes your butt look huge. Had to send it back but loved it otherwise.
