Let us look at what you are actually getting for the outlay, item by item, because that is the only honest way to assess a garment. The Lacoste Stretch Women's Tennis Dress is the dress that sits in Lacoste's stretch line, and the construction detail that matters is that it is a seamless knit in polyamide rather than a cut-and-sewn woven.
Seamless means the body of it is knitted as one piece on a circular machine instead of being cut into panels and stitched back together. That is a more expensive way to make a garment, and here is what you get back for it: fewer seams means fewer places to rub, fewer places to fail, and a fabric that follows the body rather than being persuaded into shape.
In pure cost-per-wear terms, seams are where garments die. Removing them is a sound investment.
Note the wording, because it is doing real work — on the version I can verify, the shorts are supplied as a separate piece rather than sewn in as a liner. Two garments, one purchase. Whether you regard that as better or worse depends entirely on whether you like washing them separately, and I have known people go to war over it.
Second line item: it comes with shorts.
What I could not establish, and will therefore not put in the column: exact fibre percentages, the hem length, whether there is a bra shelf, and the size run. There is no figure in the file, so there is no figure in the description.
Benidorm is the posting, and Benidorm is a town that understood unit economics before almost anywhere else. It looked at a wide crescent of sand, worked out that building upward puts far more people within walking distance of the water than building outward ever could, and built a wall of towers along Playa de Levante.
Say what you like about the skyline — the arithmetic is impeccable, and the town is walkable in a way that low sprawling resorts simply are not. It also gets very hot and very humid, which is where a seamless stretch knit pays out again.
You will wear this everywhere from an evening clinic back home to the tiled lookout at the Balcón del Mediterráneo, and by the way, it is also perfect for the boat out to the island, which is the single best value excursion on that coast.
Seams are where garments die. Removing them is not a luxury, it is a sound investment.
