The bodice is fitted, the waist sits high under the bust, and everything below that flares out and moves. If you like a defined waist without a belt, and you'd rather not fuss with a wrap or a tie, this is the cut that does it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist; fits snugly on the upper body with a fitted, slender high waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaming\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\u003eRead this as a fitted dress, not a loose one. The bodice is meant to sit close, so measure your bust and go by that rather than your usual dress size — the princess seams shape the front and back, and there's no ease built in to fudge it. The empire seam lands just under the bust, which is what gives you the flare, so a longer torso will wear that seam a little lower. Straps adjust, which helps if you're short through the shoulder to bust. Below the waist the rayon falls away and skims rather than grips. It is a mini length, so check the hem against your own comfort before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out on a warm evening, a resort pool bar, a birthday lunch, a Maui vacation where you want one dress that reads dressed-up without needing anything underneath it.
