It goes over your head, you pull the empire drawstring to the tension you like, and that's the fit. That drawstring is the reason it works across a body that changes through the day — a long lunch, a warm afternoon, a flight home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, empire waist with an adjustable drawstring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined through the top, vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe empire seam sits just under the bust, so the shaping happens above the waist and the skirt falls away clean from there — forgiving through the middle without looking like a tent. Vertical bust darts give the front real shape rather than gathering, which is what keeps a pull-on dress from looking shapeless on a fuller bust. The top being lined means no slip needed. Rayon hangs closer to the body than cotton would; if you prefer more air between you and the fabric, go a size up and take the drawstring in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, a friend's vow renewal where you're a guest and not the bride, church, and the long humid afternoons where anything with a waistband becomes unbearable.
