The front skirt is an open style that flows beautifully from the waist and creates the perfect drama as you walk. The waistband creates tails you tie at the opening on the front side. You can use woven fabrics or knit fabrics with interfacing in the waistband. Choose from 4 hemline options: mini, mid-thigh, midi, or maxi. Perfect for tying around your swimsuit for coverage at the pool, beach resort, or lake. Catalina will quickly become your new go-to swim cover-up.
