It’s nearing time to welcome in the sizzling, wonderful, exciting, crazy and lazy days of summer. Summer is my favorite season and brings us vacations, a break from school, long warm days and evenings, barbeques, beaches and fun in the sun. Summer is a glorious season that is revered by most everyone.
Although many people look forward to the warmer temperatures and getting to wear fashionable summer clothing (mainly shorts, sleeveless shirts, flip flops and baby doll dresses), there are lots of people who fear and loathe putting on the dreaded bathing suit. There is a perfect remedy for you, whether you’re walking along the sand and surf, relaxing on a sailboat or cruise ship or merely spending time at the beach. There are numerous cute, lightweight long or short dresses that work perfectly to conceal your body, but allow you to move freely while still enjoying the radiant sunshine.
Welcome the sundress! Sexy, airy, cool!
Surf, sand and fun in the sun. There are adorable beach dresses to suit the personal fashion taste of every woman!
For those of you that want to feel the thrill of your bare feet sinking into the sand, yet slip your body into a cool, cute dress, why not go with a sarong? A sarong is a large tube shape of material or length of fabric that is wrapped around the waist, thereby making a skirt. A sarong is generally fastened by tucking one corner of the fabric into the opposite end of the material, much like wrapping a beach towel around your waist. Sarongs can be worn with a bathing suit top, or if you prefer to cover your midriff section, a tube top or tank top. You can still enjoy the soothing effects of the sun without having to worry about a fit physique or a painful sunburn.
Some perfect dresses to wear to the beach are sarongs, maxi skirts, baby doll dresses and lightweight, cotton summer dresses. These dainty dresses are airy enough to let you breathe and move freely, as they provide far more body coverage than a bathing suit.
For those of you that prefer to enjoy the beach in a sarong, even if worn over the bathing suit you have on, there is another way to tie the sarong to ensure it stays snug and tight, not falling off while you jog the beach or play frisbee or volleyball. Once you step into the sarong, bring the upper edge above the level of your navel (the hem of the sarong should be level with your ankles), position the head of the sarong at the center of the back and folds in the excess fabric from both sides to the front center where they overlap, and then secure the sarong by rolling the upper hem down over itself.
Basically, wrap and roll and unleash the beach babe rock ‘n roller that lives in you.
Who said only bathing suits should be worn to the beach? Dresses that are meant to be beachwear.
Wrap yourself in an adorable sundress and bring out your sunny side!
