A cover-up has one job, which is to get you from the room to the water and back without a second outfit, and the pieces on this page do it in three shapes. The crochet mini dress goes over anything and is the piece people buy first. The crochet skirt and the drawstring shorts go over a bottom and leave the top to show. The fishnet romper and the mesh maxi skirt are the see-through end, and the card says fishnet and mesh so that nobody expects a dress.

Nothing on this page is lined and none of it is meant to be: crochet is an open knit, and an open knit over a swimsuit is the whole idea. What that means for care is a cold hand wash or a wash bag and a flat dry, which is what the label sewn into the piece will say. The plus-size cover-ups, the crochet tops cut to 3XL Plus, are the deepest plus run on the swim rail, and the card prints the run each piece is cut in.

Every colourway here is priced on its own; the MAKEMECHIC range keeps the figures current and the till is what decides.

Questions about MAKEMECHIC Beach Cover-Ups

Over the swimsuit

Will your MAKEMECHIC cover-up be see-through?

Yes, by design. Crochet is an open knit and mesh is sheerer still; both are made to go over a swimsuit and show it. A cover-up that hid the swimsuit would be a dress, and the dresses are two rails over.

Which MAKEMECHIC cover-up can you wear to lunch?

The crochet mini dress over a slip or a bikini, and the off-shoulder knit tops over a pair of the linen shorts from the bottoms rail. The fishnet romper and the mesh skirt are for the walk to the water and not much further.

Do your MAKEMECHIC crochet cover-ups snag?

On a ring or a rough strap, yes: that is what an open knit does, and the card does not pretend otherwise. Take the rings off before you pull it over your head and wash it in a bag, and it lasts the season.
