An ultra high-waist faux-wrap swim skirt with a brief built into it, fully lined, in the Bouquet floral — one piece to pull on, not a skirt worn over a separate bottom.
Highlights
✓Brief built in, and fully lined — there is no second bottom to buy and wear underneath, and the lining is what keeps the fabric opaque once it is wet. That combination is what lets a swim skirt behave like a swim bottom rather than like a cover-up.
✓Faux wrap, not a real one — the overlap at the front is sewn rather than tied, so there is nothing to come undone in the water and nothing to retie when you climb out. You get the line of a wrap skirt with none of the maintenance.
✓Ultra high waist — Lime Ricki’s own wording for it, and the reason this meets a crop-length top with no gap at the midriff. It also sits above the natural waist, which is where a high rise stays put through a swim instead of rolling down.
✓80% nylon, 20% spandex, UPF 50+ per Lime Ricki — it holds its shape wet and dries quickly. Rinse it in cool fresh water after chlorine or salt and dry it flat out of direct sun to keep the waistband’s snap.
✓The bottom half, in nine sizes from XXS to 4X — there is no top in this one, so a full swimsuit here is two pieces. Lime Ricki builds it to go with any of its tops, which means you can match the print or deliberately break it.
A swim skirt is the bottom you buy when you want to walk around in it: along a promenade, up to a beach bar, through a hotel lobby to the pool. Because the brief is inside, you are not wearing two things at once in the water and you are not carrying a wet skirt afterwards. The Bouquet floral is a busy print, so it carries a plain top happily.
In this print the matched top is the Bouquet Knotted Crop Top, whose crop length is exactly what the ultra-high waist is built to meet. For the same print without the skirt, there is the Bouquet High-Waist Bottom, and the same skirt comes in another floral as the Botany Floral Ruffle Skirt. The rest is in Women’s Swimwear and Cover-Ups.
