This offering from Always for Me could be used as an elegant cover-up or as a dress. The straps are wide enough to allow you to wear a bra with it. An empire waist is featured. The bodice is embellished with tiny gold seed beads. The neckline has several rows of the same tiny beads which continue around the back as well.

This cover-up/dress would certainly be appropriate for a poolside cocktail party in the evening. It could be paired with gold sandals and jewelry to dress it up quite substantially. The cover-up dress is offered in both black and white. Sizes 1X through 3X are available in both colors. From the bottom of the armhole to the hem, it measures 32 inches in length in the 1X size. The length will increase slightly as the sizing goes up.

This garment is made of 97% viscose and 3% lycra. Hand washing separately in cold water is recommended, as is line drying. At $79.00, it might seem a bit pricey for a cover-up, but it is really more than that. For an item as versatile as this one, the pricing is fair.
