subject: Look Cute in a Swim Dress [print this page] Chosen for their modesty and femininity, swim dresses are a classic swimsuit choice. They were the first popular type of swimwear because at the time of their invention, women were expected to cover themselves up while swimming. Even though there are now a variety of swimwear options on the market, many women still choose swim dresses for much the same reasons they wore them decades ago.
The coverage provided by a swim dress makes them appropriate for women of all ages. Their ability to cover imperfections of the body while providing support makes them popular with moms, or anyone who hasn't quite gotten their summer body back after a long winter. Some people think that modesty has to mean bunches of fabrics hanging around the body, but with swim dresses, this isn't a concern. They cover you up while fitting you in the most flattering way possible.
Swim dresses are often worn by people looking for feminine swimwear. Bikinis and other two piece swimwear do a great job of showing off the female form, but swim dresses accentuate it with cute skirts and girly designs.
Other people may choose a swim dress because of the versatility. Swim dresses are the only type of swimwear you can wear from the pool into public without anyone thinking anything of it. Other than the difference in fabric, swim dresses look just like normal dresses.
I'm sure everyone has been in the situation where you've had to go all the way home after a day of swimming, just to change out of their swimsuit and go right back out again. Swim dresses make this a non-issue. With a swim dress, you can go straight from the beach to the boardwalk shops or restaurants without having to throw on a cover-up or go out of your way to put on regular clothes.
Swim dresses come in a variety of styles, just like other types of swimwear. Some are simple solid colors with a straight, long fit. Others are short with bright patterns and a fun, daring cut. There's something for everyone, which makes shopping for a swim dress a fun experience.
Many people may not think of the swim dress as modern, but it's definitely making a comeback. With new designers creating swimwear, swim dresses have been updated to keep their classic look but fit right in with the bikinis and monokinis at the pool. They make a unique statement anywhere, so try one today.
