I purchased this swim tunic/dress for use around the pool and at the beach. While the "wrap" is sew shut, it provides a distinct style over the basic pull-on or zip-up rash guard. The length is a bit flirty, but can be pulled down for a bit more modesty. I like the finger holes in the sleeves that help keep them in place when swimming laps. For size reference, I am 5' 5", 120lbs, long torso and ordered a size XS. I would size-up next time for a bit longer length.
