Open Crochet Knit Built for the Beach and Beyond
The Rip Curl Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi Dress is a full-length cover-up and standalone dress in one. The open crochet knit construction breathes naturally in warm weather, making it the go-to layer from the sand to any beachside spot. Rip Curl treated the cotton with a softener wash so the fabric feels broken-in from the first wear.
Cotton Construction and Fabric Details
100% cotton yarn dyed stripe gives the Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi its signature horizontal pattern. Yarn dyeing means the color is locked into the fiber before knitting, so the stripes stay vivid wash after wash and do not fade to a surface print. The open crochet structure adds texture and airflow while the cotton base keeps the dress soft against the skin. A metal Rip Curl logo trim at the neckline finishes the look with a surf-brand detail that reads clean rather than loud.
Fit and Silhouette
Cut to a standard fit with a spaghetti-strap scoop neckline, the dress skims the body through the torso and falls to a maxi hem with a subtle flare at the ankle. The silhouette is flattering without being restrictive, moving easily whether you are walking the boardwalk, heading to a patio dinner, or going straight from a beach bag to a casual evening out. No liner is included; the open knit is meant to be worn over a swimsuit or with a slip underneath.
From Beach Cover-Up to Casual Wear
This is the kind of dress that solves the beach-to-street transition without a second outfit. Throw it over a bikini top while still at the water, then keep it on for lunch or a stroll. The yarn dyed stripe pattern is bold enough to stand on its own as a casual summer dress for women who want something with a surf sensibility rather than a generic resort look. Rip Curl has been building surf-inspired apparel since 1969, and the Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi sits squarely in that lineage: functional, relaxed, and distinctly coastal.
Care
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang dry to preserve the crochet knit shape. Do not tumble dry on high heat. Iron on low if needed, avoiding direct contact with the metal logo trim.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Rip Curl Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi Dress see-through?
- Yes, the open crochet knit construction is semi-sheer by design. It is intended to be worn over a swimsuit or with a slip underneath, making it a natural beach cover-up as well as a standalone casual dress.
- What is the Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi Dress made of?
- It is made from 100% cotton in an open crochet knit construction. The fabric goes through a softener wash so it feels soft from the first wear.
- Is this dress good as a beach cover-up for casual wear?
- Yes. The open crochet knit and maxi length make it a practical cover-up over a swimsuit, and the yarn dyed stripe pattern and standard fit mean it also works as a standalone casual dress for the boardwalk, patio, or beachside dining.
- What does yarn dyed stripe mean for this dress?
- Yarn dyeing means the cotton fibers are dyed before the fabric is knitted, not after. The result is a stripe pattern that is built into the structure of the fabric itself, so it stays vibrant through repeated washing rather than fading like a surface print.
- How should I care for the Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi Dress?
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang dry to maintain the crochet knit shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can distort the open knit structure.

- Is the Rip Curl Sun To Sea Crochet Maxi a surf maxi dress or a casual dress?
