Racer Back Rashie Dress
Racer Back Rashie Dress
When we spoke with women about designing our swimwear range, many wanted a little sun on their shoulders, without a tan line showing when they wear singlets or t-shirts. Our Racer Back Rashie Dress is the answer.
Worn over bathers, the colour blocking around the shoulders and neckline, draws your eye. The dress is free flowing, flattering over your hips. Towards the end of your day on the beach, this dress is great paired with our Summer Snood when you've had enough sun.
Free shipping Australia-wide. Great rates internationally.
Sizing
There's nothing more uplifting than buying something new and going down a size, especially swimwear, so we have designed our garments to be a relaxed fit for your curves. Our range starts at XS and extends to XXL. If you're after a firm fit, go down a size or two. See other women wearing our range on our Size chart page.
Our models
Our Racer Back models are Erykah, Chris, Ellen and Mel. As the style is roomy over your hips, Mel and Ellen have gone down a size compared to the other Rashie Dresses. Mel is normally a size 14 - 16 and wears Es Una M (she has short hair, with the head scarf). Ellen is usually size 8 - 10 and wears size XS. She has the longer, blond hair. Erykah wears Es Una size L and is usually a size 16. She has curly, dark hair. Chris wears the navy and flamingo in size M. She is a size 12, with the longer, white bob.
Range
Es Una's range is about confidence – wearing something that lifts your spirits, showcasing the parts of your body that you love. We're not about body size, we're about real women seeking a life of style without compromise. Feeling comfortable about how you look is important, but looking good for a life with no boundaries is the goal! Our designs support you to take on Summer; with our rashie dresses and Summer snoods.
Each garment can be worn over bathers and in the water for splashing around or a quick dip. As they are not tight fitting, your bathers are best for swimming.

High tech, recycled fabric
Our fabric is 100% regenerated fibre, comprising 78% recycled nylon and 22% Xtra Life Lycra®. It has been tested by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, receiving an ultra violet protection factor (UPF) rating of 50+. This means it is in the 'excellent' protection category, reducing solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) when it covers your skin. You can be confident that you're making a sun smart decision when you wear Es Una to the beach, pool or as resort wear.
One of the reasons our fabric can protect your skin is that it is a thick Lycra® to shield against sunburn and sun damage. This means that it is also less likely to cling and hug your curves in ways you'd wish it rather didn't! It's also quick drying and five times more chlorine resistant than average spandex.
Garment care
There's nothing more uplifting than buying something new and going down a size, especially swimwear, so we have designed our garments to be a relaxed fit for your curves. Our rashie dress range starts at XS and extends to XXL in most styles. If you're after a firm fit, go down a size or two. Remember, when you are in the water, loose fitting garments will float. This means you need to be careful of your safety in the water. Buying a more firm fitting size will reduce this.
