An eyelet swim dress is the easiest way to go from the water to lunch without a bag full of extras, and this one earns its place with a wrap-front bodice that ties at the waist and ring hardware on the straps. The skirt flares out from a ruched waistband with a laser-cut eyelet border and a side slit that opens when you walk. It reads as a proper dress on the beach, not a cover-up, which means one purchase does the job of two.
The wrap-front bodice is the part worth paying attention to. Rather than a fixed cup shape, it ties at the waist so you set how snug the top sits before you ever get in the water, which is a lot more forgiving than a style that's cut once and fixed. The trade-off is that this is a swim dress, not a bikini, so if you want to sunbathe without the skirt this isn't the one. The eyelet border keeps the flared hem from reading plain, and the side slit means the fuller skirt still moves properly when you're walking rather than bunching around your legs.
It's fitted through the bodice with a tie waist you adjust yourself, then flares into a mini-length skirt that sits at mid-thigh with the slit opening a little further. 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 nylon, which holds the ruching and the flared skirt shape through repeated wear. 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. Check the care label on your own garment as well.
It's the kind of piece that means you can walk straight from your sunbed to a beachside table without a change of clothes, and still look like you planned the outfit.
What size eyelet swim dress should I order?
Take your usual size. The tie waist gives you a little room to adjust on the day, so there's no need to size up for it.
What is it made from?
It's made from nylon. We don't have a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.
Does the skirt come off separately?
No, the bodice and the skirt are one piece, so you're getting a full swim dress rather than a separate top and bottom.
