I recently purchased an Althea swim dress from EBay and I love it. It's long and covers my thighs. It was brand new with tags and it is perfect coverage. The price I paid was less than 30 bucks. On the Althea website it was at least double that.

stake a look at eBay before you pay full price.

I couldn't find Althea swim dresses. Was it by any chance an Athleta swim dress?

Those swim dresses are super cute!

I got my "swimsuit" on Amazon this year. I have trouble finding one-pieces that fit (long torso!) but I don't want to wear a two piece. I decided to get a rash guard and shorts instead.

I wear the rash guard (http://a.co/dZvCLz2) over a sports bra, and it works great-- my shoulders don't get sunburned! I wear it with knee-length swim shorts that have undies attached (http://a.co/gtlyXyQ), which is awesome because I'm self-conscious about my thighs.

The one that I bought is black and is a halter. I have to buy bottoms for it. But I love the way it looks. And feel good in it

Julie, would you recommend sizing up when buying a rash guard? I hate when things are too tight and I know it will cling once wet, but I'd like to avoid that beforehand.

I wear a size L in tops, and I ordered an XL rash guard. It fits like a regular athletic t-shirt, so you might want to go up two sizes if you want something looser.
