On the way from my small town to the beach, we would pick a few of my cousins on the way.\u00a0 When I say “a few” cousins, I mean until the pickup truck was full.\u00a0 It only really took 3 or 4 stops to fill the truck because as\u00a0it happens, I have 68 cousins, if you can believe it, and filling almost anything with my family isn't really all\u00a0that hard..<\/p>\n

It took two hours to get to the beach, a bit more if we had to get out of the truck to say hello to the aunts and uncles, but eventually, we would arrive to play in the waves and the surf. \u00a0We would only come out of the sea to quickly to dress and get the truck back home.<\/p>\n

Even today, much of the coast of Panama\u00a0is devoid of human population and you can still find beaches where you will be the only one there.\u00a0 So needless to say, there are no dressing rooms and you learn to do “your business” before you arrive at\u00a0the beach.\u00a0 That is why stopping to pick a few cousins was very handy and convenient indeed.<\/p>\n

Because of the lack of facilities, we also learned to dress and to remove certain pieces of clothing without the need of getting completely naked. \u00a0Of course, we had to keep on the bottom part of the bikini. \u00a0We often wore this under our cut-off shorts made from jeans that were passed down from a bigger sister or cousin. \u00a0Unfortunately, those cut-off shorts never dried in time for the trip back home. \u00a0Going from a sea-level, tropical beach back to the mountains in the back of the truck is not exactly the most comfortable trip as you can imagine. \u00a0It was clear to me that I needed a dress that was not too short and not too long, that I could wear over my bathing suit and still be able to dry quickly.<\/p>\n

The Perfect Beach Dress is an A-line dress<\/a>, meant to be worn over\u00a0your swimsuit and it falls above the knee.\u00a0 I have made this dress for myself in a few colors. \u00a0It's my “go to” dress when I come back from the beach and I need to swing\u00a0by the store or stop for a quick dinner before going home. \u00a0It's the perfect beach dress to walk back from the pool to your cabin on a cruise or for sitting under the thatched\u00a0roof of\u00a0a beach bar. \u00a0It truly is very easy to make, even my mother had one.<\/p>\n
