This is such an adorable swimdress. I searched everywhere for something like this and this style is so hard to come by. My biggest problem with skirt dresses is either the skirt doesn't really cover the tush or the skirt isn't particularly feminine ... this has both qualities.
It comes with a strap to hold it up when you are swimming, but it stayed up for me with no problems without wearing the strap, which was great for sunbathing and walking around on the beach. I have a very large bust (about 36DD/36DDD depending on bra) but I wear a size 8/10 pant size. I purchased the 14 initially, based on the recommendation of a male customer service agent (not!), but it was absolutely huge!
Customer service was excellent and when I called regarding a return and my dilemma, they sent out another one to me with expedited shipment (I was leaving for vacation within the week) at no additional charge. I ended up buying and keeping the size 10 and it was perfect.
One thing I should mentioned, when it gets wet, the dress stretches and can be worn even longer ... I personally didn't mind this a bit, but you could still hike it up a bit if you wanted to wear it close to your bumm. The rouching made this possible and the dress always looked great.
I especially loved the color and the polka dots!
