Review on πŸ‘™ Women's Clothing and Swimsuits & Cover Ups: Bsubseach Swimsuit Bikini Swimwear Cardigan by Curtis Sherman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

C-white option. Very pretty. Frame 5ft 2in.

It's really pretty and feminine. It is light, slightly transparent, airy, translucent to translucent-opaque and has the effect of billowing out in the beach breeze. the same type of fabric our mothers and grandmothers use for curtains to provide privacy but let in sunlight. The photos in the listing make this "kimono" beach cover look like cotton, but it's absolutely not. It's the same sheer fabric and weave, the texture, although lighter and finer, is soft for use in clothing. I like it but consider/evaluate the characteristics of why I bought this. That means being humble. To cover over my nightgown or pajamas in the hotter months rather than wearing a hot, heavy, scruffy dressing gown, especially for visiting/staying in extended family homes. It will be lightweight, take up very little space/weight in a suitcase, air dry quickly to wash in the travel sink, and iron super fast when I'm worried. before storing it I would put it in a laundry bag and wash it on a gentle cycle in cold/cold water with dye-free laundry soap; let air dry. If you insist that I put it in the dryer I would use the Down/Cool/Delicate setting and no colors other than white. Some women complain that these kimono capes are too square or too big, but that is their nature. The crochet trim is beautiful and the ties work well. I will return it because I managed to find another one I like better. For reference, this goes to just above or below my knees, shows the cleavage of my chest, goes to and/or below my elbows. It is transparent enough to show things like tattoos, skin color, clothing color/pattern underneath very clearly. If this "Kimono" was made out of real cotton and was transparent as seen in the photos above, I would most likely keep it for myself. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer beautiful and functional fabrics that have worked for centuries over synthetics.
