As a young mum, I always admired the older women, still swimming & enjoying the great outdoors. I said, "I want to be like that" when I am older. Now as a grandma I hold true to that, however, I was starting to feel conscious of my well matured bits. I tried several styles before I bit the bullet & spent the $$'s on the rashie dress. GAME CHANGER. Just love it. Superior quality to any others I had purchased, brilliant customer service, personal service - thank you Lyndal & well worth the money. I wear a merino wool bra under the dress. Generally I walk the beach first, then change my underwear for the shorts & straight into the water. Not a single self-conscious thought entering my head. I no longer feel I stand out, just blend in & it is great. I will mention the pockets. They are great when walking, phone/keys etc. however, once in the water they float out of the dress, which is a tad annoying but compared to the positives, insignificant. I am yet to find a way to overcome this. The dress does sometimes float up a bit in the water, but it does not worry me. I see some people tuck it in the shorts & there are styles with ties at the bottom that may overcome this. The garments dry swiftly & are even flattering when you emerge from the water like a drowned rat. I would be confident to wear this rashie dress in any situation - beach, pool or resort. The missing link for us older ladies. So do not hesitate, let your inner beach babe back on the scene & enjoy the great outdoors for yourself, your family, friends & grandchildren. No longer a need to hold back & I won't. Been swimming/walking nearly every day since my dress arrived.
