Maxi Dress in Sheer Open-Knit Cotton

A sheer open-knit maxi that works as both a statement holiday dress and an elevated beach cover-up.

Unlike a heavy knitted maxi, this style keeps an airy cotton weave that feels lighter on warm days and packs easily for travel. The high waist seam creates a long, body-skimming line, while the full-length sleeves and floor-grazing hem give it a more polished finish than a standard cover-up. In the images, the apricot colourway reads as a soft cream tone and the black option feels sharper for evening styling. The knit is visibly semi-sheer through the bodice, sleeves and skirt, so it is best layered over swimwear, a slip or tonal underwear depending on how much coverage you want.

UK Sizing Guide

This style is designed to skim the body. Choose your usual UK size for the intended fit, or size up if you want more ease across the bust. Manufacturer measurements are below in cm.

The supplier does not provide waist or hip measurements for this style. The open-knit structure has some give, but the fit is not oversized.

Is this dress see-through?

Yes. The open-knit finish is visibly sheer in the product images, especially across the upper body and sleeves. Most customers will want to wear it over swimwear, a slip or seamless tonal underwear.

Can I wear it away from the beach?

Yes. The black colourway reads more evening-ready with sandals and minimal jewellery, while the apricot shade works especially well as a luxe cover-up that can still carry through to lunch or sunset drinks.

Does it stretch?

It has more give than a rigid woven dress because of the knit construction, but it still follows the body. If you are between sizes or prefer less definition through the bust, choose the larger size.

Care

• Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours
• Tumble dry on low or line dry
• Warm iron if needed
• Do not bleach
