Two buttons, both at the waist, both off to one side. They close a wrapped front that crosses low rather than at the chest, which is what leaves the lapels open all the way down to the natural waist.
Above that closure the dress is entirely tailored: a notched lapel with a stand behind it, a shaped shoulder, and panel seams drawing the bodice in. Below it the skirt releases into a full A-line that swings clear of the leg and stops at the knee. There are no pockets and no other hardware anywhere on it.
It is a coat and a dress at the same time, and the only thing stopping it being outerwear is that you would not want to cover it.
