Need help finding something like this, please!

External Image

I ordered it from gap.com but it's out of stock and won't be back.

I planned on wearing it over bathing suits, as a casual sundress, etc.



These are my only qualifications!

*black
*long
*lightweight/preferably cotton
*straps of any thickness
*some sort of waist definition, whether it's shirring, puckering, an empire seam, whatever.
*Under $50


I already tried the selection at Old Navy, but they're either strapless or shapeless on me.

I want it a little oversized, so I'll prob need a L or XL, depending on the store.

THANKS!!!!

Have you tried H&M or Macys? If they don't have it specifically for swim how about just a nice long sundress? MY sister is going on vacation next month and I know that she got a bunch of sundresses at Forever21 (short ones, but maybe they have long too) that she plans on wearing over her bikinis

Their website:

American Apparel

Online Returns

Otherwise, there are quite a few store locations in NYC and Brooklyn. There's one by my work and your post made me think of it.

I'll check H&M first (probably cheaper) - but if no luck there, American Apparel looks pretty good to me Chat Icon

Another suggestion in case the one you ordered doesn't work out.

Try the Macys pajama section. Not kidding...

You can find some really good quality "cover ups" made of soft, comfy stretchy cotton. No one will know it's pajamas unless you tell them!
