Product Information
Full details
The Protest Nieve is a versatile midi-length swimming dress designed for adult women who want a stylish, functional cover-up for beach days, poolside relaxation, or coastal strolls. It offers a flattering silhouette through its elastic waistband and button-up design, making it an excellent transition piece from water to casual dining. While it provides a sophisticated look, users should note that as a lightweight garment, it is primarily intended for casual wear and cover-up purposes rather than high-performance aquatic sports.

FAQs
Is the material quick-drying?
Yes, the polyester construction is designed to be lightweight and quick-drying, making it ideal for beach environments.
Can I wear this as a regular dress?
Absolutely. While it is marketed as a swimming dress cover-up, its elegant design makes it suitable for casual summer outings and lunches.
Does the dress have pockets?
No, the standard design of the Protest Nieve does not include pockets.
How should I wash this dress?
It is best to machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid high heat during drying to maintain the shape of the elastic waist.
Is the fabric see-through?
The fabric is designed for coverage, though as a lightweight summer item, it is always recommended to pair it with appropriate swimwear underneath.
Troubleshooting
Buttons coming loose after repeated washing
Secure the button threads with a basic needle and thread, or wash the dress inside a mesh laundry bag to reduce agitation.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam the garment or hang it in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to allow the steam to naturally relax the fibers.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Versatile design transitions easily from beach to street
- Lightweight material keeps you cool in hot weather
- Easy to put on and take off over wet swimwear
Cons
- Not intended for active competitive swimming

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The dress does not require any setup and can be worn immediately. To keep the garment in prime condition, it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water after contact with salt or chlorinated water to prevent fabric degradation. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing temperature settings. When drying, it is best to hang the dress in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent sun-fading of the black fabric. Avoid using heavy abrasive brushes when cleaning, as these may damage the lightweight material.
