It's darted at the bust and darted at the waist front and back, which means it follows the body instead of hanging off it — and the criss cross halter straps button at two points each, so you set the strap length to your own torso rather than living with whatever the factory decided. Customers who are long through the body or short through it both make this work, which is unusual in a halter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit note\u003c\/strong\u003e — runs small and short for some women; use the Style 163 size chart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — above the knee, with a 4\" centre slit at the back hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — criss cross halter, two buttonholes on each back strap for lengthening or shortening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, zipper back, bust darts, waist darts front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Aqua\/Brown, Beige\/Teal, Burgundy\/Beige, Green\/Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, handmade in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis one runs small and short.\u003c\/strong\u003e If your measurements land between two sizes, take the larger — that's our standing advice on this style and it's the single most common sizing correction we make. The bust darts give you another inch or two of allowance if you need it. Measure a dress you already own and compare it against the Style 163 chart specifically, not a general chart: the empire waist measurement is taken 1.5\" below the chest, and the hip measurement 9\"–11\" above the hem. On the length, remember it's cut above the knee before you account for it running short — if you want more coverage on the leg, this isn't the dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out, sunset cocktails, a birthday on the lanai, anniversary evenings. The zip back and tailored darting put it a step above a resort sundress, so it holds up at a nicer restaurant, but the cotton keeps it wearable at 85 degrees. Several customers keep one for cruise nights where the dress code says smart but the ship is still tropical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold on a gentle or delicate cycle with mild soap. Line dry, cool iron. No hot water, no hot dryer, no bleach — cotton made in Hawaii lasts years on that routine and shrinks on any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling Hawaiian apparel from our Maui showroom — since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you when a dress runs small, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle-specific size charts, not one generic chart for the whole store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
