Swimdress - longer length?

8 replies

PoptartPoptart · 02/08/2024 16:24

I’m looking for a swim dress but I want the skirt bit to be a longer length (just above the knee would be ideal).
Every time I Google ‘longer length swim dresses’ I just get a selection of regular swim dresses.
it doesn’t have to be plus size, just 14/16 but with a longish skirt. Any ideas please?

bonmarche have a sale look in store that way you can see it for yourself ,they have nice swim dresses

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a look online (no physical Bonmarche shops near me) but all the swim dresses are very short.
I’m trying to find a longer style.

Wouldn’t a longer skirt be quite difficult to swim in?

Lands’ end look like the skirts come up quite long (depending on your leg length) although unfortunately they are out of stock in a lot of styles. But worth keeping an eye on?

Don't buy the meet curve one linked above, they're a scam (google it and you'll see their terrible reviews!).

Something to think of is that the skirt gets in the way! I've got this one and it's really nice, not as long as you're wanting, but when I'm swimming the skirt flies up and I constantly have to push it down. In aqua class it floats to the top! I now tuck it in to my knicker line to hold it in place once I'm in the water 😄

Also it looks so short in that pic, but it comes down to just above my knees. I'm short though.

There's a bunch of Bonprix ones on eBay too. This one looks long on the mannequin:
