What is a Swim Dress?

swim dress is an extremely popular style of swimsuit that caters to many women of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Once a popular choice with mature women, swim dress design has evolved, now offering cute, retro inspired options for women of all ages.

A swim dress offers stylish coverage for the tummy, hips, and thighs. Unlike a one piece or swim pant that shows the shape of the bottom, a swim dress skims over the body from under the bust and down to mid thigh, providing coverage and feminine styling.

Most swim dresses feature a built in one piece with a dress overlay. The one piece supports and shapes the body while the dress provides stylish coverage and modesty. You can also find swim dress styles with separate swim pants. These styles are similar to a long line tankini, offering the convenience of a two piece with the modesty of a swimdress.
