Handcrafted Pearl Shell Crochet Cover Up Dress

I absolutely love this cover-up dress. I ordered a size medium, and it fits well, though it is somewhat form fitting. If you prefer a slightly looser fit, or a bit conscious of that, you might consider sizing up.

The quality really impressed me. The dress arrived, packaged in a velvet bag with a satin bow, which was a nice touch and made it feel more like a premium item. The crochet fabric is well made, and the pearl shell appliqué details are beautifully done and securely attached.

Even though this piece is on the higher end of the price range, the quality and design make it feel worth it. I’ve already worn it once by the pool and loved it. Overall, it‘s a stylish and well-made cover-up that could easily double as a mini dress for vacation or beach outings.

This is such an adorable Coverup Dress, it really shows that it has vintage vibes going for it. The trim is just amazing and very elegantly presented !! I can't wait for summer to come so I can really get some mileage out of this beautiful dress. It has a very slim fit so it can show off all of your curves. I'm familiar with Fairy Season as I have a few other of their brilliant designs and love every single one of them. All of the pieces come in a very protective faux suede bag with a satin ribbon closure, and this dress was no exception. It was a little confusing as first trying to figure out what size to order. Make sure you read the full descriptions to find the size chart at the bottom. The blue "size chart" pop-up is really off, so please don't use it, make sure you go to the bottom of the Amazon descriptor to use the official size chart. I read the chart and decided to order an L ... I have size 38 bust. I looked at the "Body Measurement" side to see where I fit, and I put my 38 chest right in the middle of the Large. There is a lot of stretch in this dress so don't be shy about ordering via the chart even if you are a smaller size. It is very accurate.

The fabric has tons of stretch built into it so it hugs all the right places. The fabric is a very interesting blend of 50% Polyester, 27% Nylon, 18% Acrylic, and surprisingly, 5% Wool...!!! Wool is about the last thing I think of when I think swimsuit coverup !! But hey, it really works in this case, and it gives the knit a very soft hand. There are a lot of textures going on in this coverup, the top is a ribbed knit, the middle portion is very airy with its holed knit for ventilation on a hot day. This dress needs to be hand washed in cold water, they laid flat to dry. I don't feel you would need an iron with this, just a stretch should get any wrinkles out. The faux pearl adornments on the bust are not sewn on, they are attached with metal fasteners for strength. The ruffle on the bottom adds a little eye appeal after all the torso lengthening of the black color.

All of the other Fairy Season pieces I have are all show stoppers, and of course this coverup dress is no exception. I would never have thought out some of the design elements in this dress, especially the pearls in the shell pattern, so brilliant !! You could theoretically wear this as a sun dress as well. The only skin you really see if around the middle so it's socially acceptable !! Remember it fits snug, so try your swimsuit on first at home to make sure it doesn't give you bumps in all the wrong places !! I tried it on at home, and my husband thought it was some 1920's era bathing costume !! Can you imagine ... that boy has absolutely no imagination. Just imagine yourself a mermaid and you will be in the right mindset. I know it might be a few more dollars than you were planning to spend, but if you want every eye to be on you on your tropical cruise, this coverup is for you !! Fairy Season's wardrobe creations are all stunners, have fun and post pictures !! 🏝️

My favorite part of this beach dress is the seashell form on the chest and the pearls on it. The craftsmanship is truly much better than I expected. The open-work crochet detail at the waist shows off the body beautifully, and the ruffles at the hem add a very sweet vibe. The fabric is soft and stretchy, so it fits perfectly without being too tight. The champagne/ecru color looks amazing on tanned skin. It can be easily used not only at the beach but also at poolside parties or for seaside walks.

This is a gorgeous cover up. It's super soft and stretchy. It is short. Especially if you've got a booty. But it's the perfect vacation piece.

I absolutely love this dress. Its so cute and trendy. Its perfect for vacation and i can't wait to wear it on an upcoming cruise. Its so flattering and made very well. The pearl accents are obviously plastic but they a sewn into the garment and feel secure. The crochet portions of the dress are made well. Although there are areas of the dress that are a bit shear, I think you could get away with wear some shorts under and nipple covers if you arent wearing a bathing suit under. Overall, its the cutest thing and I highly recommend.
