FAIRY SEASON Womens Crochet Beach Cover Up with 3D Starfish Shells Sleeveless Mini Dress for Pool Resort Vacation

I hesitated to purchase because this is more expensive than most cover ups on Amazon..: but the quality is there! It really looks like something from a boutique or nicer shop. I got so many compliments on it and it is very flattering. I would say it runs true to size or a tiny bit on the small side. It is very short so you have to be ok with that. Read more

Okay, picture this: you're packing for a trip, and you realize every cover-up you own is either a giant t-shirt from a 5k you didn't run or a sad, faded sarong. The search for something cute that wouldn't just look like a bath towel with ambitions began. When this dress popped up, covered in little stars and shells, I had one thought: this is either going to be the most adorable thing I own or a craft project gone hilariously wrong. Let's get into it. The dress is a true crochet knit, meaning it's full of the little holes you'd expect—it's breezy, not bulky. The material is a soft, lightweight cotton blend that doesn't feel scratchy at all. It's sleeveless with a sort of A-line cut that isn't tight, which I appreciate. Now, the star of the show (pun intended) are the decorations. The 3D starfish and shells aren't just printed on; they're these cute, slightly puffy appliqués sewn right into the crochet. They've got a nice texture and are a fun, beachy touch without feeling like a costume. The dress hits at a mini length on me (I'm about 5'6"), so it's perfect to throw on over a swimsuit. I wore it straight from a lounge chair to a poolside lunch and felt put together without trying too hard. The open knit means it dries incredibly fast if it gets splashed, which is a major plus. My sincere hope is that the stitching on those cute shells holds up through a few more rounds of sunscreen application and being stuffed into a beach bag. It feels well-made, so I'm optimistic it'll be my go-to for summer adventures. Here's the quick take from my first outing: What made me smile: · The design is genuinely cute and festive. It puts you in a vacation mood instantly. · It's incredibly light and airy. You won't overheat walking to the pool bar. · The 3D details are whimsical and feel securely attached (for now!). · It's versatile. Works as a cover-up, a casual dress for a resort dinner, or even a cute top with jeans. What gave me a moment's pause: · Because it's a true crochet with holes, it's not for those wanting full coverage under a swimsuit. A nude lining underneath is a must if modesty is a concern. · The care tag suggests hand washing, which is pretty standard for delicate knits but adds a tiny bit of extra effort. · The sizing can be a touch generous. If you're between sizes, considering the smaller option might work. All in all, this little dress solved my frumpy cover-up problem. It's a fun, functional piece that makes transitioning from sand to street a lot more stylish. If you're looking for something to elevate your poolside look without a fuss, this is a delightful choice. Read more

I really am in love (❤️)with Fairy Season as a manufacturer. They are a really premium brand here on the Amazon platform. Every Item I have received to review comes in an elegant taupe colored velvety bag, tied with a mink brown colored satin ribbon. Their products, and this one included, are very elegant and delicate, so being in its own little envelope bag eliminates the possibility of it getting snagged and ruining the dress. So, with that in mind, this is just the most adorable swimsuit cover up imaginable. The dress itself is very stretchy, so it's very forgiving of any imperfections. It is made from polyester, with the decorations being acrylic and cotton. It is still a little delicate, though stretchy, and it needs to be hand washed in cold water and laid flat to dry. The adorable ocean-themed appliqué are just on the front side, so you don't have to worry about a big starfish on your bum !! Okay, but seriously now, the coverup dress comes in three colors and I have the blue one to review. The blue is really a beautiful brilliant color, so nobody will have trouble spotting you in a crowd. I really do love it, it has an open weave so your swimsuit will be shown off to perfection. The fabric isn't too delicate, so with proper care this should last you for many seasons. I ordered my usual size and it fits perfectly. Remember, there is tons of stretch so keep that in mind when using the size chart. The price might seem to be a little on the higher side, but believe me, "Fairy Season" products are absolutely worth the higher price due to the quality and care that goes into the garment. If you purchase, you will not be sorry that you did. I would also look at the other "Fairy Season" items available on the Amazon platform. I have a beautiful elegant black cardigan, a vintage mint green cardigan shot through with metallic threads for shine, and also a long sleeved crochet beach coverup dress. I love them all, and they all look exactly as they are pictured on Amazon. So, Happy Shopping to you this New Year !! Read more

I was impressed with the packaging and presentation. Comes in a cute felt bag. The dress itself was soft and exactly as shown. I returned bc it’s cut in an hour glass shape. I am curvy but it still laid weird at my hips. Almost like a bubble which made my hips look wider than they are. If you have the hips to fill this out it’s a great option. Read more

This crochet cover-up is really cute in person and looks just like the pictures. The colors are bright and the starfish and shell details give it a fun beach vibe without looking cheap or costume-like. It is definitely a cover-up, not a regular dress the knit is see-through as expected, so you’ll want to wear it over a swimsuit. The material feels lightweight and breathable, which is perfect for hot weather or pool days. It dries fairly quickly too, so it works well after getting out of the water. The fit is comfortable and easy to slip on. It’s not tight or restrictive and has a relaxed shape, but still looks flattering. Length is good as well short but appropriate for a beach or resort setting. Quality is better than I expected for this type of item. The stitching seems secure and the decorations are sewn on nicely. Just follow the hand-wash instructions to keep it looking nice. Overall, it’s a fun and practical beach cover-up that works great for vacations, pools, or the beach. I’d wear it again on any summer trip. Read more
