This one doesn't. It's cut close through the ribs and bust, holds a high waist, then releases into a flared skirt — the sort of dress you buy when you want a defined shape for a dinner reservation or a family portrait rather than something to throw on after the beach. Customers who normally live in a muumuu buy this as the one dress they dress up in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, princess seams front and back, fitted through the upper body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — sweetheart, with H straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkirt\u003c\/strong\u003e — flares gradually from the high waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis one runs small for some people.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bodice is designed to sit snugly on the upper body, so there is very little give above the waist — the princess seams shape it rather than let it out. If you're between sizes, or if you carry width through the bust and ribcage, take the larger size. The skirt is the forgiving part; the bodice is not. Rayon also sits closer to the body than cotton, which adds to the fitted feel. Because it zips rather than pulls on, it needs to fit properly at the seam line to close cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, anniversary evenings, showers and rehearsal dinners, church, and any occasion where you want a waistline in the photographs. The black reads dressy enough for evening and stays cool because the skirt moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash by hand or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed.
