Swimdress

[Kip]

Hello,

I'm looking for a swimdress - something that looks pretty decent and covers up the thigh area a bit at the beach. It's very difficult to find, even on Ebay, because they usually sell them in larger sizes. I'm a size Australian 6-8 or size 0 in US I think ? (I can never understand international sizes anyway!)

Does anyone know any online shops that might sell swimdresses ? Or even two pieces with a skirt instead of bikini bottom ?

I have little hope, but maybe you nice people can help !

Not sure how much coverage you're going for but here are some suggestions:

The first is from http://store.azaleasnyc.com/1piece.html and is on sale.
The black ring one is Lisa Curran @ figleaves and comes in dark red as well.
The red gingham is from daddyos http://www.daddyos.com/retro/sep.html.
The black cutwaway is L-space -they do a bunch of little skirts to match their bikinis and swimsuits. If you go to www.instyleswimwear.com and search for coverups you'll find them all.
The frilly bikini is pistol panties and probably doesn't offer enough coverage but it's so cute I couldn't help posting. You can get it as a tankini as well with a beautiful ruched bustier. That's where the yellow bikini + skirt is from as well. Pic from www.pistolpanties.co.uk and you can buy online.

Finally, sunset separates do swim skirts which you can match with their bikini or tankini tops. They're at www.everythingbutwater.com.

Hope that's of some help

The Kelly Brook line (for New Look) is good for skirted swimwear

i'm too lazy to post pics right now, but you can also try Delia's for what they call "skirtinis" and Lands End for "swim minis."
