What do you wear as a beach/pool cover-up?

Am looking for some cheap sundresses for wearing to and from the beach/pool on holiday this summer but struggling to find what I want.

I am tall so most normal sundresses are too short for me! Last year I got a couple from the tall range at Dorothy Perkins which were perfect but they haven't got any this year.

Don't want to spend much as they seem to get ruined due to sunscreen, sea, sand etc.

Any ideas/suggestions?

I bought one of those fringed kimono jacket style things last summer. I think it was from new look or primark. It was fab and so easy to wash and wear.

Watching. Waiting for links. Am small so most seem too big.

I use a crinkle cotton embroidered sundress I got in Mexico for $12 a while back. It's purple with fushia embroidery.

I wear kaftan type dresses like this

That is really pretty twinkle. Shame that is the only size.

There are 1000s of those kaftany things around.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do like kaftans but my size 16 thighs do not Wink I need something that comes to my knee (or just above it).
