Swim dresses are one of the most versatile and flattering swimwear silhouettes — combining the coverage and feminine elegance of a dress with the functionality of a swimsuit for a genuinely wearable, all-occasion beach and pool piece.

In sleek black, it's a genuinely versatile piece that works from the pool to the beach to a beachside bar or resort occasion.

Yes — this swim dress features soft padded cups for shape and support, and is wire-free for comfortable, flexible wear. The adjustable straps allow you to customise the fit and support level to your preference. It's designed to provide confidence and coverage without the discomfort of underwire.
▶ Q2: What is the cut-out detail like?

▶ Q3: Does this swim dress run true to size?
Yes, it runs true to size. The high elasticity of the 82% polyamide, 18% elastane blend provides a comfortable, secure fit across sizes. See the full size chart below for exact bust, waist, hip, and length measurements across sizes S–2XL. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
▶ Q4: Is the flared skirt part of the swimsuit?

The skirt provides additional coverage while maintaining the feminine, flattering silhouette of the swim dress.

Yes — the straps are fully adjustable, allowing you to customise the fit, support, and silhouette to your preference. This makes the swim dress particularly versatile and flattering across different body types and bust sizes.

Yes — the 82% polyamide, 18% elastane fabric is a premium swimwear-grade blend that's chlorine-resistant, quick-dry, and designed to perform in pool and sea water. The high elasticity ensures a secure, comfortable fit during swimming, and the fabric retains its shape and colour after repeated use and washing.
▶ Q7: Can I wear this as a dress?
Absolutely — the flared skirt silhouette, ruched front, and sleek black colourway make this swim dress genuinely wearable as a casual summer dress. Layer under an open linen shirt or lightweight kimono, add flat sandals or mules, and you have a chic, effortless warm-weather look that works well beyond the beach or pool.
▶ Q8: How do I care for this swim dress?
Rinse thoroughly in cold water after each use, especially after pool or sea water. Hand wash cold or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron the padded cups. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to protect the black colour and fabric integrity.
