This Breezy Dress 'Fits Like a Dream'—and It Doubles as a Swimsuit Cover-Up

What do you look forward to most about the spring and summer? If you love days at the beach or lake, you likely already have countdowns in place until you're there. Rather than simply wait for your first beach day to arrive, why not lean into the excitement and prepare your essentials? If you already have your bathing suit picked out, turn your attention to finding a comfy dress that can double as a swimsuit cover-up. According to Amazon shoppers, this one promises to do the trick—and prices start at $19.

The Elescat tank dress is made from 65 percent cotton and 35 percent polyester, so you can expect the fabric to feel lightweight and soft with just the right amount of stretch. It is a T-shirt dress, which means it simply slips on and off over your head (an essential feature for a beach cover-up). And the sleeveless style also has another fun, hidden feature: It's designed with two deep pockets, which reviewers say makes it "a home run."

To buy: From $19; amazon.com.

The Elescat tank dress has thousands of perfect ratings, with Amazon reviewers saying they not only wear it as cover-up to the pool and beach, but also as a casual dress at home, running errands, or on vacation. The simple scoop neck adds to the everyday feel of the swing dress, and you can expect the length to land right above your knee. Plus, it comes in 39 solid colors and patterns in sizes S to 3XL.

"It's perfect for a bathing suit [cover-up] and cute enough to wear out," said one five-star reviewer who owns three of the dresses. Another shopper, who said they "wear it all the time" as a cover-up for boat and pool days, also added, "It fits perfectly, and I love having pockets!"

To buy: From $19; amazon.com.

"Fits like a dream and can be worn casually or dressed up professionally," said one person who titled their review "Super comfy!"

No matter if your plans will take you to the lake, beach, pool, or even just your backyard, the affordable Elescat tank dress is as easy to wear by the water as it is to wear around town. And, with that, the countdown to summer is officially on.
