Underwire Swim Dress

One of our most popular swim dress styles, especially among younger shoppers, is our underwire swim dress. Cut to fit a DD/E cup, this style offers extra support for the bust. Double adjustable straps allow you to create the perfect fit and support for you while looking extra cute.

This flirty style shapes the top half to show off your natural cleavage with the short A line skirt falling from under the bust and skimming the hips. This is an ideal option for your first foray into swim dresses, as it is similar to a one piece, with just a little extra coverage with the shorter skirt.

This style is available in plain black or red or choose one from our beautiful print collections. The printed swim dress is black all over except for the bust panel. This is where we have injected colour and pattern to draw the eye up and focus it on the top of the swimsuit. Your decollatage will be highlighted and shown off beautifully in this ultra feminine style.

Check out our plus size women’s swimwear clearance range for a selection of underwire swim dresses at reduced prices. If you’re looking for a swim dress in size 16 or larger, there are many options on sale. 

Wide Strap Swim Dress

The Wide Strap swim dress is a classic style swimsuit with features designed specifically for the curvy body. A built-in shelf bra fits a wide range of bust sizes with comfortable support, with the wide, adjustable straps offering the option of a customised fit.

The dress skims the curves of the body for a flattering fit, with the skirt finishing below the hips for extra coverage over the booty and upper thighs. Vertical panelling creates a slimming effect, with the featured pattern drawing the eye to the centre of the body with the block colour shaping the sides and back. These details give an optical illusion, creating an hourglass shape and slimmer silhouette.

You can also opt for plain black in this style if you prefer a simple and chic look at the beach, with this option extending to size 28. The coverage offered by this swim dress will have you feeling confident and care free. You'll want to wear it everywhere!

This swim dress is made with the curvy figure in mind which is why we offer it in extended sizes. So if you’re looking for plus size swimwear in size 24 and beyond, be sure to look at our Wide Strap swim dress as an option.
