It has a lining and the fabric is sturdy. I bought it a few years ago for a trip to Okinawa and have worn it a few times. I will sell it to someone going to a tropical island or resort. It has a calm and refreshing pattern that won't go out of style. The waist has a string, so you can adjust the length. Please understand that it has been stored at home. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
