It sits close through the bust and rib cage, cinches at the empire seam, then releases into a flared mini skirt. Adjustable shoulder straps mean you set the bodice height yourself, which is the difference between a fitted dress that works and one that gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, snug through the upper body, fitted high waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — armhole princess seams, front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Paradise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bodice is the deciding factor here, not the skirt. Princess seams front and back shape the dress to the torso, so it reads fitted rather than forgiving — the copy says snug on the upper body and it means it. If you carry width through the bust or ribs and prefer breathing room, this is not a loose cut and you should allow for that. The empire seam sits high, well above the natural waist, which flatters a long torso and skims past the hip entirely. Rayon has almost no stretch, so the zip does the work; adjust the straps once you have it on to set the neckline where you want it. Mini length means short — worth knowing before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out after a beach day, sunset cocktails, a birthday in town, dancing where a full-length dress gets in the way. The fitted bodice and short skirt make it a going-out dress rather than a cover-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed.
