Long sleeve, short sleeve, with bust support, with pockets for bust prostheses, wrap styles and T Shirt styles, pool tough styles too....so many different styles you're bound to find one that works for your shape and needs. Let's go!

All of our Rashies can be found in the Sun Safer & Rashies section of our online store. There are heaps to choose from and I really should divide them up. But until then just go up to the Search space top left and type in 'Rashie' and they'll all appear for you.

1. Long Sleeve Zip Up
The style we've sold for the past 12 years...the simple straight through lines and generous sleeve of this rashie makes it easy to layer over you bathers. Some are pool tough chlorine resistant too. Print and plains. Sizes 10-22 with some up to a 30. Here are a few to showcase what I'm talking about.

- Black
- Navy (Chlorine Resistant)
- Molokai

2. Long Sleeve Zip Up - with Bust Support AND Pockets for Bust Prostheses
Genevieve Swimwear introduced this style last summer and its been a hit! Bust support and pockets for bust prostheses if you need it. If you don't it will still work for you. Tip: If you want better bust support so you don't have to wear your togs under, then go down a size for a firmer fit. The hemline is curved and the stitching detail is pronounced for something a little different. Nice finish. Sizes up to a 30.

- Coral Palms
- Black and White Magnolia Print

3. Wrap Style - with long sleeve and 2/3 sleeve
These are brilliant if you want to show more shape and your waist. The fabric feels heavenly on and it's a thoughtfully made small Aussie label from Melbourne - Aquacove. 2 styles:
*Long sleeve with high neck
*2/3 sleeve with V neckline

4. Short Sleeve Zip Up
Capriosca does a short sleeve version of its longer sleeve style. Not many left in the print so here are the plains - up to a size 26.

- Navy
- Black

5. Short Sleeve Zip Up - with Bust Support and Pockets for Prostheses
Similarly in the Genevieve range there is a short sleeve version. 2 prints are this style and up to a size 30!

- Black and White Bandana Noir
- Black Palm

6. T Shirt Style with Bust Support
New for this summer is a Rashie T from Genevieve. Bust support and bust pockets too if you need them AND drawstring sides so you can adjust the length - brilliant! Pool tough too. This is a relaxed fit, throw over style. Again if you want more bust support, go down a size or two. 2 prints.

- Florence blue
- Bramble Rose pink and navy

7. Shirt Style - Knot Top
This UPF50+ and Chlorine tough Rashie Shirt from Es Una is brilliant - wear it out as a top it's so good! The fabric is so silky smooth on. I love the different lines of this top. If you wear it out then it's longer in front and creates a fabulous line. Tie the front to create a shorter version or a mid length. Versatility plus and certainly something VERY different. Suits us Creative Style Personalities for sure.

- Flowering Gum
- Navy
- Black
