Billabong Crystal Clear Midi Dress
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Form, Detail, and All-Day Breathability
The Crystal Clear Midi Dress from Billabong is built for the woman who wants structure and ease in the same piece. A fitted silhouette in a cotton elastane stripe blend skims the body without restricting movement, while the 48-inch high-point-shoulder length puts the hem right at that versatile midi zone that works from the boardwalk to a rooftop dinner.
The self-twist detail at the front bodice draws the eye to the neckline and creates a gentle cut-out that keeps the look interesting without overdoing it. At the back, a split in the skirt adds both visual length and freedom of stride. A metal plate hardware accent completes the elevated detail work.
Construction and Fabric
The cotton elastane stripe construction gives this dress its defining character: the natural breathability of a high-cotton blend manages South Florida heat, while the elastane content keeps the fitted shape on through a full day of wear. The fabric moves with you rather than against you, and it holds its form wash after wash.
About Billabong

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Billabong a good brand for women's dresses?
- Billabong has been a leading surf and beach lifestyle brand since 1973. Their women's dresses are designed around real beach use: breathable fabrics, functional details, and fits that hold their shape across a full day of activity or leisure.
- What makes the Crystal Clear Midi Dress different from a standard slip dress?
- The Crystal Clear stands out through its construction details: a self-twist front bodice with a small cut-out, a back skirt split for ease of movement, metal plate hardware, and a cotton elastane stripe that gives both breathability and a form-retaining fitted shape.
- Is the Crystal Clear Midi Dress suitable as a beach cover-up?
- Yes. The fitted midi length, lightweight cotton elastane fabric, and simple spaghetti-strap silhouette make it a natural choice over a swimsuit. The back slit and cut-out detail read beach-ready while remaining polished enough for lunch or shopping.
- How do I care for a cotton elastane dress?
- Cotton elastane blends are best washed in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the elastane's stretch and the fabric's shape. Tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat, which can degrade the elastane over time. Check the care label on your specific garment for the manufacturer's guidance.
- Where can I buy the Billabong Crystal Clear Midi Dress?
- The Crystal Clear Midi Dress is available in store and online at Island Water Sports, your South Florida source for Billabong women's apparel.
