I love Nautica swim dresses because how pretty they are I am size 6 and this swim dress is true to size, I very rarely get a navy blue color swim dress so I had to have it the minute I saw it here. The swim dress is modest and very stylish, I can go from sitting in a car to swimming or snorkeling without having to remove several layers of clothing. The padding at top is stitched on to the panel making it comfortable and not having to adjust every now and then. The broader straps makes it easy on my arms and the coverage is perfect.
