The weather in the UK has been what they technically call 'Scorchio' over the last few weeks so we headed down to my mum's caravan near Tenby Pembrokeshire for a short break.  So when Land's End the clothing company got in touch for me to review their clothes I thought this was the perfect opportunity to get some new beachwear. This is a review in conjunction with Lands' End, but all opinions are my own.

Clothing Review

The items I chose to review included a beach dress cover all and a swim dress. Check out these beach cover ups here. I am a size 14/16 and 5ft 2in. Recently I have lost some weight and I am a little self-conscious about my body. 

The beach dress is an easy-to-wear dress that you can throw on over your swimming costume. It is made of breathable soft jersey cotton and has two useful pockets and vents on the side. It is machine washable but they recommend a cool hand wash. This helps to keep the colour and avoid any natural shrinkage in the fabric.

The dress has pretty white embroidery on the front that adds a feminine touch

This dress is also a great option to pack for a holiday somewhere hot when you want something comfortable to wear. You could wear it around town with some flip-flops or even out to a beach restaurant when you haven't got time to change.

I really liked this beach dress and thought the price was very good at £21.

The other item I was sent to review was the woman's sweetheart swim dress. 

I really loved this super cute swim dress. It has an all-over bright flower print with a soft cup bra and a swimsuit base. It has a gathering at the side and a cheeky little split so you can show a bit of leg. It covers all the parts you may be conscious of and I felt it held in my tummy well without being too tight.

If you are big busted like me it provides reasonable support and the straps are adjustable. It is made of a mix of nylon, polyester, elastane and Lycra® Xtra Life™ which resists breakdown from chlorine, sunscreen and heat. It moves with your body and is suitably stretchy for when you've had an extra portion in the hotel buffet!  This flattering swim dress is available from a size 8 to a size 20.

One of the great things about this lovely swimsuit is that it has a UPF of 50. UPF or Ultraviolet Protection Factor indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. For example, a UPF 50 fabric blocks 98 per cent of the sun’s rays and allows two per cent (1/50th) to penetrate, thus reducing your exposure risk significantly. This swim dress is available on sale for £66 at the moment.
