Fashion: Top 5 Modest Swimdresses!
Written by Project Inspired | June 4, 2013
A couple of weeks ago, we rounded up our top five picks for modest one piece bathing suits, then returned last week with our favorite tankinis. As we said before, if you’re in the market for a new swimsuit, the trends this year are seriously in our (modest) favor!
With vintage-inspired style taking over all levels of fashion, conservative and comfortable cuts have become popular. In response, tons of brands have put out tons of great options! Swimdresses have also become increasingly popular in recent years and are the perfect option for a girl who wants to look über-feminine at the beach or pool.
We love the discussions about swimwear that have been happening on the site, and we checked out all of your comments and your favorite stores for inspiration as we scoured for great swimdresses. As usual, it was hard to narrow down the options, and we can’t wait to see what else you girls have found in the comments below.
Who loves vintage? This suit may be a little loud for some, but we’re digging the ’70s feel and neon colors! (Swim Outlet, $60)
If you’re more into classic styles than wild vintage prints, this Clean Water suit might be more up your alley. Available in six colors, the suit includes an elastic strap, boning, removable padding, partial lining and ruching. (Target, $36)
If you’re on the hunt for a swimdress with a super flouncy skirt, we may have found a contender! This ruffled suit is available in pink, green or blue (pictured) and has full body ruching with two halter options. (Amazon, $40)
Pink and polka dots–how can you go wrong? We love the girly, ’40s-esque vibe of this flouncy suit that features a conservative v-neck and boning at the waist. (Amazon, $22)
Are you into polka dots, but the idea of pink sends you running for the hills? This classic white and black polka dotted suit features a ruffled skirt and adorable tie at the chest. (Amazon, $45)
Which of these suits is your favorite? Have you gone bathing suit shopping yet, or do you have a favorite that you already own? We’d love to know where you got it and why you love it!

I can’t find the exact item I bought online, but I seriously just bought the exact, identical suit of Bathing Beauty One Piece in Red on Modcloth ($89.99) from Walmart ($25.00 on sale) today. I’m not even kidding. Looks identical, even down to the seam down the back. I’m so estatic and I had to rush to tell all of you girls 🙂 I can’t afford much, so I saw this and just DIED. I’ve been eyeing it on Modcloth forever. If you’re into the retro style, check your local Walmart! xx

Swim dresses really aren’t my style, but I love the last two. Polka dots are soooooo cute!!!!!! 😀

I love all of these but the first and last are my favs. I like the pink polkadot one too, but i’m not a bright pink kinda gal.

I love these! I just recently got a bright green and blue swimsuit that’s a one pieve and modest. It’s a little bright but that’s ok! And I feel like my boobs and butt won’t be hanging out like some girls wear

Both of the Polk-a-Dots I love! And swim dresses are so cool!

I’m not big on “swim dresses,” but I do like the first one a lot!

I don’t know if I would ever wear any of these, but I love the second and last ones!

Posted by TigerLilly on June 4, 2013 at 11:45
I got mine from a shop called “creations by savannah” that’s on etsy.com. These are a bit more spendy, but I know I will wearing mine for years!

I love the seconds ones color, but swim dresses aren’t my style. Plus I have a long torso, so wearing a one piece (which are under swimdresses) is really uncomfortable.
Posted by Annabanana on June 5, 2013 at 07:48
I completely agree with you. And I’m almost 5’9″ and most of my height is in my torso as well. haha I generally go with a tankini 🙂
