for real sun-bathing you just whip the skirt off, revealing smartly pleated shorts which turn the whole thing into a play-suit, simply splendid for tomping about on the beach.
The complete suit, consisting of the four pieces -jacket, skirt, sun-top, and shorts-would look enchanting in printed or uncrushable linen.
