All the ones I see online at $50. Is there anywhere to get one for a more reasonable price?

Basic Colors had a swim skirt and I bought a long sleeve rash guard separately from a different store. I bought the skirt in the store but they have an online store. I'm not sure if they have a swim dress. https://www.basiccolorsonline.com/adults

I got one that I like from Ali specials. I think it was around $32 and came pretty quickly and I wore it over the summer and it held up pretty well. I feel like I’d rather spend less and get a new one every summer. I don’t know if we’re hold up over multiple Somers, but I could still hear it next year.

Are there any swim dresses or skirts that don’t float up wards above my knees when I’m in the pool?

Only way to stay tsnius is with leggings underneath. Any material (unless it has elastic on the bottom to hold it down) will come up in the water.

Does leggings make it tznius? If it’s above my knee so my leggings are showing is that ok?

I have a pair that has a small subtle snap at the hem, with one part of the snap along the front hem and the other half midway along the back hem. When you are in the water, you can close this snap and then your skirt won't balloon up.

You can probably sew one on to any swim skirt.

Thank you I just ordered a $15 skirt from basic colors.

To the poster above, it's a pool - it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm assuming you're not going mix swimming so just wear leggings under the skirt or the dress because you're doing your best.

I bought a couple on Ali Express last summer. I've been very happy with both. Search for "modest swimwear" or similar

Depends who will be seeing you wearing it. Most do not hold that leggings or tights are sufficient coverings for the knee and above, so I would not rely on this if I was to be wearing it in the presence of men who are not my blood relatives. If it was just around my own family I would be fine.

Ask your own shayla but yes I was told that as long as my skin is covered in the required areas, I can’t control if my skirt goes up while swimming.
