Frankies Bikinis Dresses — Official Collection

Beyond Swimwear: The Dress Collection

Frankies Bikinis built its reputation on swimwear, but its expansion into clothing has been the part of the brand’s story that’s generated the most surprise — not because it was unexpected, but because it worked better than most swimwear brand clothing pivots. The reason is consistent design logic: the dresses aren’t reimagined swimwear. They’re beach-inspired pieces designed for the actual life that happens around the beach — the brunch after, the dinner that follows, the morning walk to grab coffee before anyone else is up.

The Frankies Bikinis dresses collection spans 17 styles from the lightest crochet coverup to a full silk babydoll dress — fabrics and silhouettes chosen because they work in the specific contexts Francesca Aiello actually designs for: California summers, beach towns, the transitional moments between sun and social life.

Featured Dress Styles

Bo Silk Babydoll Dress
The most elevated piece in the dress collection. Silk babydoll construction — the kind of dress that looks effortless and takes serious fabric quality to achieve. A piece that works worn over a Frankies one piece as a luxe beach coverup or as a standalone evening dress with sandals and minimal accessories.

Audrey Satin Mini Dress
The Audrey brings the satin fabric quality from the Ari Satin Bikini Top into the dress category. A satin mini that reads as fashion rather than formalwear — the kind of dress that photographs well in natural light and transitions from daytime to evening without adjustment.

x JENNIE Jen Mini Dress
The JENNIE collaboration’s dress contribution — a mini that carries Kim Jennie’s distinct style sensibility. One of the most sought-after pieces in the current x JENNIE range and the most accessible price point in the collaboration.

x JENNIE Gabriella Crochet Coverup
The crochet coverup is the piece that bridges the swimwear and clothing collections most naturally — worn over any Frankies bikini or one piece for the walk from the beach to wherever the day goes next. The Gabriella carries the x JENNIE design sensibility into this transition piece format.

Lover Crochet Knit Mini Dress
The Lover crochet dress is one of the most wearable pieces in the collection — the open crochet construction makes it lightweight enough for warm weather, distinctive enough to work as a fashion statement, and practical enough to layer over swimwear without creating bulk.

Cameron Crochet Mini Dress
A crochet mini with a slightly different construction approach from the Lover — the Cameron’s pattern and silhouette create a different visual rhythm while maintaining the same beach-to-street wearability.

Cindy Wrap Mini Dress
The wrap construction is one of the most flattering dress formats across body types because it adjusts to the wearer rather than requiring the wearer to adjust to it. The Cindy brings this into the Frankies design language cleanly — available in multiple colorways for different summer palette preferences.

Styling Frankies Dresses

As a beach coverup: Any crochet or lightweight dress in the collection works worn directly over a Frankies bikini or one piece. The crochet construction allows the swimwear beneath to be visible as a deliberate styling choice — the coverup isn’t hiding anything, it’s adding a layer.

As a standalone dress: The Audrey Satin and Bo Silk Babydoll work as complete outfits with sandals or heels. Style with pieces from the Frankies sweaters & knits collection for cooler evenings — a knit poncho or zip hoodie over a satin mini is one of the most consistent styling moves from Frankies Bikinis’ own content.
