The Low Tide Cover-Up is a lightweight, beach-ready layer. Worked flat no purling required—this piece has a breezy, open texture perfect for tossing on over a swimsuit. The front and back are joined with clean seams and finished with side vents for comfortable movement. Finishing fringe adds just the right amount of playful detail, echoing the relaxed rhythm of waves at low tide.
