Best Ladies Swim Dresses for Summer
Summer is here, and it’s time to hit the beach or lounge by the pool in style! Finding the perfect swimsuit can be a challenge, especially if you’re on the hunt for a bathing suit that covers your bottom. That’s where swim dresses come in—they offer the perfect blend of style, comfort, and a bit of extra coverage. Whether you’re spending the day at the lake or enjoying a fun poolside gathering, this list of the best swim dresses for ladies will have you feeling confident and chic all summer long.
My granddaughter wanted me to take her to the pool. I asked her what she thought I should wear, and she said, “A two-piece.” I laughed and told her that I would do that…just for her. She was expecting to see me in a bikini, but I outsmarted her with this tankini swim dress suit. Lol! I’m wearing a large in both pieces, but I think a medium would have worked better on the bottoms.

I love, love, love Lands’ End swimsuits, and my swimwear drawer is evidence of this! You can see some of my favorites in this post, but I also loved this tulip wrap mini swim dress. It comes in 7 prints, including this pretty red and white floral one. It’s made with chlorine-resistant fabric which makes it incredibly durable, but my favorite part is the built-in UPF 50+ sun protection.
This one reminds me of those athletic tennis and golf dresses everyone is wearing! It has little shorts underneath with a pocket that’s perfect for holding a phone or key on your walk to the pool…. just don’t forget to take it out before you jump in!
You gurls know I love happy colors and pretty prints, so this swim dress from Venus makes me happy. This one has ruching on the stomach which I love because it camouflages any tummy insecurities! I also liked it in this pretty blue.
I’m sure we’ve all experienced “the girls” making an appearance when a big wave strikes or when you jump into the pool. This high neck style top will keep everything exactly where it needs to be so you can keep your focus on having fun in the sun! Black is always slimming, and you can find more black swimsuits in this post.
This swim dress from Old Navy comes in so many cute colors, like lavender, highlighter yellow, and this pretty pink. Old Navy is great about having sales on swim in the summer, so if it’s not on sale when you’re reading this, check back in a day or two!
We can always count on Spanx to make us look good, gurls! This swim dress has 360 degrees of shaping, no-dig leg openings, and stay-put straps. I also saw that it has a hidden tie feature to keep the skirt from floating up in the water, which is genius.
If you’re looking for an affordable swim dress that won’t break the bank this summer, this is a great one. It’s currently under $30. This tropical print is gorgeous and perfect for the beach, but you have ten other options to choose from.
I’m obsessed with this one! This swim romper isn’t technically a swim dress, but it gives the same vibe and the same great coverage. It’s made by Miraclesuit which means it provides all over slimming, and the halter back is stunning. I think this would be a chic and functional option to wear when you’re chasing kids or grandkids around the pool or waterpark!

How cute is the navy and white one you are wearing?
Other cute ones as well. The one you’re wearing is my fav!
thank you for sharing these lovely swimsuits Tania…
I’m short so swim dresses usually fit me like a dress! My favorite style bathing suit is the tankini and the one you shared is adorable.
Such pretty suits and great prices!
The red and white Landsend is my favorite. Can’t quite spend what Spanx and miracle suit are asking. Swim wear looks good on models and you but seems to change when on my body.😂
Love the modest swim suits !
Tania: these pieces are amazing. I already put the Aleumdr Women’s Ribbed One Piece Swimsuit in my Amazon cart. Perfect. Swimsuits seriously stress me out but it’s important to have one that you can put on and feel confident. Great job today!

Some very pretty swim dresses. I have reached the age that I want more coverage, so that’s all I wear now.
Good choice on the tankini to go to the pool with your granddaughter!
Thank you for the suggestions.
Very cute options!
Love the swim dresses.
Love the bright colored one and yes, Lands End has great suits!
I love Lands End suits too! I like the bright printed one too.
I have always been a huge fan of swim dresses and the ones you shared are some of the cutest I have ever seen.
Your relationship with your granddaughter is to be admired.
I love the Miraclesuit Romper and what great colors to choose from! My question — and I didn’t see it anywhere on their website – but I assume it has built in underwear bottoms? They don’t mention it – but my thoughts are that is what provides the tummy control – but are the full or cheeky? Any idea?
I’m sure it does.
These bathing suits don’t look like old lady suits every attractive!
Good! We don’t want to look like an old lady. Lol!
Land’s End has so many swimsuits it’s hard to choose. I got mine a month ago but might need to get another one! Your granddaughter is precious
I recently purchased a swim dress and I love it! Great the options in this post!!
I like the swim dress options. Going to look at those for my next trip. Thanks
I really like swim dresses and these are all great choices!
