Fit and size

Cover-ups run generous by design. Your usual size gives room over a swimsuit. Go down a size only if you want it close as a dress. The button-ups are the most forgiving, because a button placket adjusts where a fixed neckline cannot.

The Halife size guide

In plain words

About this piece

A cover-up dress in Black: V neck. It pulls on, with a wide neck and a dropped shoulder so a wet swimsuit does not fight it.

The cut is deliberately generous through the body and the arm: a cover-up is the one piece here that goes on damp, and anything close-fitting stops being a cover-up the moment it does. The label gives the fabric as 100% polyester. The hem clears a chair, so lunch after the beach does not need a change of clothes.

Wearing it

Over a swimsuit at the water, over a tank on the walk home. Rinse it after salt or chlorine before it dries, because both are harder on a light woven than the sun is.

Fabric and care

The label gives this piece as 100% polyester. A woven holds its shape and does not give, so between two sizes we say take the larger one. Machine wash cold, per the label.

What it does not do

A cover-up is not swimwear and carries no sun protection rating. Wet, it covers less than it does dry.

Questions about this piece

Can I wear it as a dress?

It is cut short and loose, so it reads as a cover-up rather than a dress. The dresses bench has the longer shapes.

Does it protect from the sun?

It covers the shoulders and whatever the hem reaches while it is dry, and that is all we will claim. It carries no protection rating, and wet fabric on skin covers less than dry.

Which size should I take?

Cover-ups run generous by design. Your usual size gives room over a swimsuit. Go down a size only if you want it close as a dress. The button-ups are the most forgiving, because a button placket adjusts where a fixed neckline cannot.
