At-a-Glance

There's a reason a knit mesh cover up like this shows up on every beach trip - it does the one job you actually need without any fuss. A round neckline sits close to your collarbone, long sleeves run loose to the wrist, and the open knit falls straight to mid-thigh with a slit on each side. You can see straight through it to your swimsuit underneath, which is exactly the point. It moves easily over damp skin and packs flat in a beach bag.

  • Open knit mesh construction - airflow over damp skin instead of clinging
  • Round scoop neckline - sits close without needing adjusting
  • Dual side slits - easier to walk and sit without the hem riding up
  • Long relaxed sleeves - cover your shoulders from the sun on the walk to the water

Design Details and Benefits

  • Dual side slits - let you move freely instead of the straight cut restricting your stride
  • Wide drop-shoulder sleeves - room to layer over a bikini top without pulling at the seams
  • Fine open knit - keeps you cooler than a solid cover up in direct sun

The side slits are what stop this from feeling like a straight tube once you're actually moving. A lot of knit cover ups in this shape are cut with no give at the hip, so sitting down or climbing over a sun lounger pulls the whole thing tight. Two slits solve that without changing the silhouette from the front. Worth knowing before you order: the knit is genuinely open throughout, so this is built to go over a swimsuit, not to be worn as a dress on its own.

Fit and Coverage

It's a relaxed, straight-through fit that skims your body rather than hugging it, and the coverage is sheer by design, so your swimsuit shows through the whole piece. 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.

Fabric and Care

It's made from an open-knit polyester, which is what gives it the sheer, breathable texture. 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. Rinse out chlorine or salt water as soon as you can to keep the knit from stiffening.

Styling Tips

  • A bright one-piece or bikini underneath, since the knit is sheer enough to show it off
  • Flat sandals and a raffia tote for the walk from the car to the sand
  • A wide-brim hat when you want the whole look to feel finished

Details You'll Love

It's the layer that turns a swimsuit into an outfit the second you step off the sand - no changing, no extra bag, just pull it on and go.

Key Questions Answered

What size knit mesh cover up should I order if I'm between sizes?
Take the larger of the two. The knit has some stretch, but a looser fit drapes better over a swimsuit than a tight one.

Can I wear this without a swimsuit underneath?
You could, but the knit is properly open, so you'll want something underneath if you're not comfortable with full sheerness.

What is it made from?
It's made from an open-knit polyester. We're not given a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.

Customer photo review of Strappy Mesh Bodysuit – Sensual Seduction

The straps in the photos appear adjustable but aren’t, simply little metal details that move. Had the straps been adjustable it would have been possible to fix them sagging as too loose for the bodysuit.

Customer photo review of Long Sleeve Ruffle Hem Mini Dress – Playful Elegance

Perfect transition dress for fall/ spring. Thick material, snug on body in flattering way.And I will consider adding a pair of pantyhose as a match when the weather gets colder. I suggest everyone can do the same, and the effect will definitely be good!!!!

Customer photo review of Long Sleeve Ruffle Hem Mini Dress – Playful Elegance

This product fits very well doesn't fold or bunch at the chest near the arm openings like so many shirts and dresses do now days from poor pattern cut and formulation. Being a sketchy knit it gives with you but isn't scratchy and the , but it's comfortable enough you can wear it around town to do errands and be comfortable and not dressed, just a little extra pretty that day.

Customer photo review of Flirty Pink Ruffled Two-Piece Set - Romantic Chic

It is beautiful, very shiny and the truth is if it is quite wide, I usually use L and I asked for M and even so it is too big especially the upper part. I can still use it but it doesn't fit as I would have liked! But it's pretty
