Eyelet Open Front Short Sleeve Cover Up | Blush Pink / S 100100696501482

Overview

A lightweight open-front cover-up finished in decorative eyelet—designed to slip on over swimwear or a casual outfit for instant polish. The short sleeves and airy embroidery create a breezy, feminine silhouette that works for beach days, poolside lounging, summer errands, and layered warm-weather looks. It folds down small for travel and packs easily.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Airy eyelet construction increases ventilation so it feels cool even in heat and humidity.
• Synthetic fibers provide quick drying, good color retention, and resistance to wrinkles—easy travel and low-maintenance wear.
• A touch of elastic fiber gives gentle recovery and light stretch for comfortable movement and shape retention.
• Eyelet texture adds visual interest and a layered “peekaboo” effect, elevating simple swim or casual looks.
• Lightweight drape flatters many body types without adding bulk.

Cons

• Less breathable than some natural fabrics; may feel warmer in still, very humid conditions despite the eyelet holes.
• Eyelet embroidery can catch or snag on jewelry, bag hardware, or rough surfaces—handle with care.
• Synthetic fibers are more heat-sensitive: high-heat washing or ironing can distort the fabric.
• Over time and with frequent laundering, synthetic blends may show pilling or gradual fiber wear.
• Environmental note: synthetic microfibers can shed in the wash; consider filtration or wash-bag options to reduce microplastic release.

About the materials

This cover-up is made from a blend of a durable synthetic polymer and a small amount of elastic fiber. The primary fiber provides strength, colorfastness and easy care; the elastic component supplies stretching power and quick recovery so the piece keeps its shape. The eyelet is an embroidered openwork technique—small holes are finished with stitching so they won’t simply fray like a raw cut. Together, the blend delivers an airy look with the practical benefits of modern fabrics.

Practical notes: synthetics dry faster than natural fibers and resist wrinkles, but they are sensitive to high heat (iron on low if needed) and to prolonged exposure to chlorine and strong sunscreens—rinse after heavy exposure to salt or pool water to extend life.

How to measure the garment (quick guide)

1. Lay the cover-up flat on a smooth surface, smoothing out wrinkles but not stretching the fabric.
2. Top length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neckline) straight down to the hem.
3. Bust (flat): measure across the front from seam to seam at the fullest part of the chest and double that number for circumference.
4. Shoulder width: measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the opposite shoulder seam.
5. Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
6. Hem width: measure across the bottom edge and double for full circumference—helpful if you want a roomy skirt or hip coverage.
7. For scalloped or decorative hems, measure from the highest point of the hemline to get a consistent length reference.

How to measure yourself for the best fit

1. Wear a bra similar to what you’ll pair with the cover-up. Stand relaxed with arms down.
2. Bust: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
3. High bust: measure above the bust beneath your arms—useful for shoulder and neckline fit.
4. Waist: measure at the narrowest point of your torso (natural waist).
5. Hips: measure at the widest point of the hips/seat while standing with feet together.
6. Shoulder width: measure from the bony point on one shoulder across to the other while standing straight.
7. Height: note your overall height if you care about where the hem will fall.
8. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. For a relaxed beach cover-up allow 2–6 inches of positive ease—more ease if you’ll layer over bulkier swimwear or want a flowy silhouette; less ease for a neater look.

Conversion tip: multiply inches by 2.54 to get centimeters.

Model & fit reference

The style is intentionally relaxed with an open front so it drapes rather than clings. On most models these pieces are shown worn casually over swimwear to demonstrate drape and transparency at the eyelet openings. Expect the shoulder line to sit true to the shoulder (not overly dropped), and the short sleeve to cover the upper arm. If you prefer a close-fitting finish at the bust or waist, select the smaller size within your range; if you want a roomy, breezy cover-up for layering, choose the larger size.

Color and how to combine this garment

Eyelet texture works beautifully in both neutrals and color — here are pairing ideas that always work:

• White/cream: a classic beach look. Layer over brightly colored swimwear (turquoise, coral, lemon) for contrast or tonal neutrals for a refined palette.
• Black/navy: creates a more polished, evening-appropriate vibe—pair with metallic sandals or gold jewelry for a dressed-up poolside look.
• Pastels (blush, mint, powder blue): soft, romantic combinations—match with straw accessories and natural leathers.
• Bold colors: pick one color from the cover-up to echo in a hat, bag, or sandals for a cohesive outfit.
• Patterns: layer over striped swimwear or lightweight linen separates; the eyelet gives pattern without clashing with prints.

Style & occasions

Wear it as:

• A beach or pool cover-up over a bikini or one-piece.
• A lightweight cardigan over a slip or tank for warm-weather errands or brunch.
• A festival or resort layering piece—belt it to define the waist for a dress-like silhouette.
• A travel staple: packs small and doubles as an evening layer on warm nights.

Season suitability

Best for spring and summer wear and warm-weather travel. It also works in early fall layered over long-sleeve tanks in milder climates. Not intended as insulation in cold weather—use as an indoor layering piece when heating is available.

Care tips & fit notes

• Turn garment inside out to protect eyelet embroidery before washing.
• Use a mesh laundry bag when machine washing on a gentle cycle to reduce abrasion.
• Avoid high heat in washing, drying or ironing—heat will weaken elastic fibers and can deform decorative stitching.
• If wearing over swimwear, rinse salt and chlorine as soon as possible to reduce pigment and fiber damage.
• Because of the openwork design, avoid heavy or sharp accessories that could snag the holes.
• For a more tailored silhouette, add a belt or a front tie; for maximum coverage leave it open and pair with a high-waist bottom or dress underneath.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-treat stains promptly with a gentle, enzyme-free stain remover.
2. Turn inside out and machine wash cold on a delicate cycle or hand-wash in cool water with mild detergent.
3. Use a mesh wash bag to protect the embroidery and minimize abrasion with other items.
4. Avoid bleach and limit fabric softener—these can reduce elasticity and affect fabric hand.
5. Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to air dry out of direct sunlight to preserve color and shape.
6. If you must use a dryer, tumble on the lowest setting and remove promptly; otherwise air drying is gentler.
7. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth over any decorative areas, or use a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles without direct contact.
8. To address snags: gently pull the surrounding threads to redistribute the snagged loop or use a small needle to work the loop to the inside; secure small runs with a few stitches if needed.
9. Store folded or on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place—avoid overcrowding to prevent catching and deformation.

Style tips

• Belt the waist with a thin leather or woven belt to transform the cover-up into a breezy dress for dinner.
• Wear over a contrasting swimsuit to highlight the eyelet detail—light over dark or dark over light both read well.
• Pair with high-waist linen shorts or cropped jeans for a casual daytime look; add espadrilles or flat sandals.
• For a polished off-beach look, layer over a slip dress and add stacked bracelets and a wide-brim hat.
• Add a lightweight scarf or long pendant to lengthen the silhouette if you’re aiming for a dressier vibe.

FAQ

Is the cover-up see-through?

The eyelet embroidery creates decorative openings, so visibility depends on the color of what’s worn underneath. Over swimwear it gives a tasteful peekaboo effect; for full coverage layer a slip or tank beneath.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes—use a gentle cycle and cool water, inside out and ideally in a mesh bag. Hand-washing is gentler and will extend the life of the embroidery.

Will it stretch out over time?

The small amount of elastic in the blend helps the garment recover its shape. Avoid high heat and excessive agitation to maintain elasticity long-term.

Will the eyelet snag easily?

Eyelet edges are finished, but the openwork can catch on sharp objects or jewelry. Remove or be careful with accessories that could hook or pull the threads.

Can I wear this as a regular top?

Yes. When paired with a camisole, fitted tank, or dress underneath, it works well as a lightweight outer layer for both casual and slightly dressier outfits.

Is it suitable for long-term sun exposure?

Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can fade colors over time. Rinse after contact with chlorinated pool water or salty sea water to reduce fabric stress.

What if I'm between sizes?

If you want a sleeker look choose the smaller size; for a breezy, beachy drape size up—remember this is an open-front, relaxed style.

How should I store it?

Fold or hang on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid tight folding that crushes embroidery and avoid hanging from thin wire hangers that can distort shoulders.
