For more than a dozen years, GalTime.com has been full of writing for women by women. It prides itself on providing quality content to women around the world in the subjects of Mind&Body, Fashion&Beauty, Family, Home&Food, and Money&Career. Style expert and owner of ArtfulWears, Amy Gordon, recently wrote an article on beachwear, covering the likes of Aerin Rose swimsuits, Sanuk flip-flops, and of course... the Leslie dress as an incredible cover-up!
Here's what she wrote:
Now that you have a great suit, you need an equally adorable cover-up. For a print suit, a solid white cover-up is always simple and easy. The C Marchuska Leslie Dress is a versatile piece that can work equally well as a swimsuit cover-up, for a casual dinner, or for simply lounging. Leslie is a sophisticated hooded wrap dress made of a sustainable blend of 92% bamboo viscose/8% spandex.
We are super excited to be included in her beachwear list
