Swim Dresses

"Chic, Cute yet Modest Bathing Suit Alternative: the Swim Dress"

Swim dresses are a throwback from the past. It was the swimdress that was the norm back in the days. But over time, they became shorter and more revealing resulting in skimpy bikinis. However, these cute dresses are today looked upon as chic women swim wear which provide excellent coverage and modesty without sacrificing your sense of style!

A swimdress vary in length and styles, and they often remind you of mini dresses. From tube, tank to halter top, and flared to straight hemline, you're sure to find something that you want to wear!

Swim dresses can also be the perfect match if you have inverted triangle body shape (wide shoulders and narrow hips) depending on the shape of the bottom skirt. If the skirt is flowy and A-line shaped you'll notice how the flare will balance out your frame making it look like you have a proportional hourglass shape with hips.

And of course, along with tankinis, if you're a plus size or have a round torso (like an apple body shape), a swimdress will give you the support and coverage you need to feel comfortable on the beach.

How to Select a Swimdress

Wear a bathing suit that flatters your body shape

If you want to slim down your upper half, go for plunging necklines like V or U-neck. Rounder and straighter necks on the other hand, add more width to your upper half - a great choice if you have narrow shoulders.

Want more curves?

Then I recommend you to try a belted dress style or/and flowy A-line bottom skirt. It's a good way to fake an hourglass silhouette, making your waist narrower, hips and bust curvier.

If this is your first time buying swimdresses

You can never go wrong with dark, solid-colored pieces as they go with absolutely everything and slim down on your body parts with extra baggage. However, you should also take your body shape into consideration because the right cut for your body type is crucial to looking good.
