It may seem a bit of a waste of money to buy a swimdress when you can make do with one of your current sundresses or mini dresses, but there really is some great attributes to swimdresses.



Often women new to the swimwear fashion scene think that a swimdress is just another name for a sundress, but there is much more to them than that. To begin with, they are made to swim in which the average sundress certainly is not. So now that there is a valid reason for buying a swimdress here are some things you need to know about them.



The Great Cover-up



Nothing is more frustrating for a woman to be baking in the hot sun simply because she has a few flaws that she is self-conscious about. Well, just by putting on one of the many beautiful swimdresses that are available on the market, not only has she solved the problem of her embarrassment, but she has put herself on the summer fashion runway.



A Real Boost for the Morale



It's often difficult for women who feel that they are slightly overweight to find swimwear that they feel comfortable in. Even that basic black one-piece bathing suit that is noted for being slimming just doesn't cut it. The opportunity to sport a swimdress that not only camouflages the extra pounds but also enhances all the best features of a woman is almost too good to be true. It is possible though and easy enough with the right choice in swimdresses.



The Chance to Wear a Mini Dress and Look Great



It's really intriguing to think that a woman that is slightly overweight just wouldn't look her best in a basic mini dress yet she will look spectacular in a swimdress which is most certainly the same length or even shorter than a mini dress.



Swimdresses are not Just for Cover-up



It must be remembered that although swimdresses are great cover ups for flaws, they are just as astute at covering a great figure and making it look perfect. If the woman buying the swimdress pays particular attention to flattering her figure with the proper style dress then it will go far beyond making her look just presentable.



Just as there are styles and trends in regular dresses the same applies to the swimdresses. There are those that are very form fitting, while others are a little looser and more flared, or perhaps have a pleated or side slit skirt to them. This allows for a good choice according to individual taste.



For those that prefer the more delicate and dainty look then the flared pleated swimdresses are perfect. For those though that want something a little provocative and sassy then there are lots of form fitting side slit strapless ones to choose from.



Out of all the great things about these swimdresses is the fact that swimming in them is a pure pleasure. There is no restriction to movements and the materials they are made from breathe and dry easily. Many of them will afford great protection from the UV in places where it's hard to apply sunscreen.
