A crochet beach cover up only earns its place if you'll actually wear it out of the water, and this one does. The open mesh knit is properly see-through, so it goes over a bikini rather than instead of one. It ties behind the neck, drops in one long line to the floor, and a split runs high up one leg so you're not shuffling across hot sand. Throw it on wet, walk up to lunch, keep it on.
The reason this beats a kaftan is that it doesn't pretend to be a dress. A cover up has one job: getting you from the sand to a bar without changing, and looking deliberate while it does it. Mesh manages that because it moves and dries, where cotton goes heavy and stays damp against you. So the honest limitation is the obvious one. It's completely see-through, top to bottom. This isn't something you can wear on its own, and if that's what you were after, keep looking. Over a swimsuit you like, it's excellent.
It's cut close through the body and falls straight to the floor, with a halter tie at the neck and a split up one leg. Coverage is full length but entirely sheer, so plan on a swimsuit underneath. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from polyester, which is why the mesh springs back into shape instead of sagging once you've been in the sea with it. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer.
A beach day feels planned rather than improvised when you've got this in the bag. You pull it on over a wet swimsuit and somehow you look like you meant to end up at lunch all along.
What size crochet beach cover up should I order if I am between sizes?
Take the larger one. It's cut close through the body, and mesh pulled taut loses the drape that makes it look good in the first place.
Can I wear it without a swimsuit underneath?
No. The mesh is open enough to see straight through, everywhere. It's built to go over a bikini or a one piece, not to replace one.
What is it made from?
It's made from polyester. We're not given a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.
