Beach/Pool Dresses

Can you please give me some ideas for what I can wear over a tankini or swimsuit around the pool and too and from the beach.

I'm hoping to lose some more weight and to tone up more before summer but don't think I'll be comfortable walking around in swimwear.

Haven't been on a holiday abroad for many years so I'm struggling a bit, i find myself unexpectedly single so looking to take dd for some sunshine.

Looking to cover my bum and upper thighs a bit.

Primark used to do some plain coloured jersey tube dresses. I have them in black and pink but they do neutral colours too. I live in a holiday resort in the med and I see people dressing them up for nights out with nice belts etc. You should be ok with the length. Mine are just below the knee but I think they do a longer version.

I also have a couple of playsuits from asos that I like too.

The shops sell kaftan type things - look in M&S or Accessorize.

I have to cover up a bit in the sun and find that a cotton dress is the ideal compromise - eBay is my hunting ground.

H and m had a throw on dress last week, £6.99 free delivery code as well, slightly odd colours but plain black too, I got a M and I'm a 14, its roomy, so if you're a 10/12 the small which is all they had left yesterday online, would be fine.

I got a couple of nice ones in Matalan last year.
Swimwear365 have lovely things, bit pricey though.

Something like THIS or if you are younger THIS or a matching sarong would do the job as well.
Especially with a tankini as you already have a top.
Nice colours and cheap sarongs HERE
