shermieKimonos for Women Bohemian Pattern Long Swimwear Beach Cover Up

After eyeballing this for months I finally bought it since I wanted a lightweight robe for wearing around the house in summer. The fabric is gorgeous and feels lovely on my skin. The problem is that the sizing is not good. I'm 5' 9" and weigh 142lbs, fit about an 8 dress size. But I can barely close this and it ties up high right along the bra band line which makes it a tight uncomfortable fit in the chest since the tie isn't very long.If you're planning on it just being a swimsuit cover up that won't need to be closed or you're a size 2 this might be a good fit. Sadly, the only part that fit in a way I was happy with is the length.

I got a lot of compliments very cute!

I wanted something I could take on vacation and wear over a bathing suit, or as a bathrobe. I think the pattern is beautiful, the fabric is light and flowy, very comfortable, not see-through at all. With that said 'one-size fit's all' is NOT true. I wear a 10-12, and it does not wrap around me, the cut is somewhat weird, so not very good for going out in public if you are trying to cover anything up. I ended up altering it, by cutting the belt and sewing it on to create a true wrap style, because just using the belt will not keep you covered unless you are a very small person. I love wearing it around my house.

The cut is fine (though I thought it would be flowier around the bottom) and fabric feels fine, but the print is very tacky in person. It’s disappointing and now I’m afraid to try the other prints. Not sure when / where I will wear this and not be embarrassed by it.It’s a pain to return so I’ll probably send it straight to goodwill.

The fabric is gorgeous, colors are vibrant. That said, the one view of the model wearing this with it almost closed in front is showing you the closure you'll get from this. If you want a peek a boo look over your bathing suit, this will be great. If you are looking for a light weight summer bathrobe, you'll need sewing skills to make a few alterations. I am 5ft 1in, 110 lbs., the lengths is at my ankles, the issue is that the sides just come together at the front, there is no overlap to keep your jammies undercover. Again, if your going for flirty, fine, if like me your hoping to not flash anyone, you will need to add snaps down the front like I did, or buttons & buttonholes, hooks or frogs ( which I might switch to bc of the oriental fabric).
