Looking for sleeveless or short sleeved dress, nothing sheer and no sweater-like options. It’s hot here in DC so I want something light but not transparent.
Just something to wear at my neighborhood pool. Preferably under $150. |

This one is slightly transparent, but I've love the way this one I got from target looks and fits.

That target one is hardly a cover-up -- it only covers a bathing suit!
Get a nice lightweight caftan like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/89001677/striped-kaftan-perfect-long-dress?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=cotton+caftan&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&sr_prefetch=1&pf_from=market&frs=1&sts=1&content_source=d4665810-a0cf-451e-b1b2-92abe766ae1f%253ALTeeeea1523867b13675f4b9ddc9a9f935f85cf3a8&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=d4665810-a0cf-451e-b1b2-92abe766ae1f%3ALTeeeea1523867b13675f4b9ddc9a9f935f85cf3a8 There are lots of different patterns and they're cheap.... |

I have several like this and they work great for this purpose: https://www.amazon.com/Poetsky-Womens-Dresses-Sleeveless-Turquoise/dp/B0CWRLGZ4P/ref=sr_1_2_sspa
I also have the Emerson Fry caftan and really love it. I've had mine for 9 years and it still looks great and the print hasn't faded at all. I love the internal tie which makes it hang in a much more flattering way. However, they are definitely transparent. It's a beach/pool/resort only option for me, I wouldn't want to wear it out to lunch after the pool or something. https://emersonfry.com/collections/lt-caftans |

Most county clubs and resorts require you to cover up when walking through facilities. |

$200 for a caftan?? Pass. |
Ah, gotcha |
