Has anyone seen any short sleeved towelling beach dress/cover-ups for girls?

In past years we've bought the Boden towelling beach dresses which have been great. However, I'd really rather something short-sleeved as where we go on holiday is v v hot, and I think they'd get more use out of a cooler version.

I'm open to any type, pattern, design, brand, etc as long as they are properly closed at the sides, IYKWIM, not just ponchos.

Thanks!

We have this one - although it's says poncho the sides are properly closed - and the sleeves are cropped rather than short and it is still very cool.

Not quite what you are looking for, but these are brilliant, so so much cooler than towelling and amazing uv protection, they are really soft too and comfy too.

The Little White Company ones are perfect - just quite expensive! Does anyone know anywhere that sells something similar at half the price?

I saw some in TK Maxx yesterday - have you tried there?

The Little White Company one I had was made out of the crappiest towelling I have ever encountered. It was stiff, scratchy and ridiculously thin, it also went into a million pulls.

The jo jo ones are lovely, or used to be.
