The bodice is built to be snug — princess seams front and back, a sweetheart neckline, a zipper rather than a pull-on shape — and then it releases from the high waist and flares. Customers who like a defined waist and dislike anything clingy below the hip keep coming back to this shape.\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 for some people; consider one size up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, sits high and fitted\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\u003eSeaming\u003c\/strong\u003e — princess seams front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cream\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 upper body is designed to fit snugly, so the bust and rib cage are where you'll feel it first — if you're between sizes, or if you're fuller through the bust, take the larger size. Below the empire seam there's no fit question at all; the skirt flares away from the body, so hips and midsection are not a constraint. The zipper means there's no give the way a pull-on dress has give, which is another reason to err upward rather than downward. Rayon drapes close and heavy, so the flare falls rather than poufs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeach ceremonies where you're a guest rather than the bride, vow renewals, anniversary dinners, and evening receptions where you want a real dress but not a structured one. Cream reads soft and formal enough for a wedding without competing with the bride. It also works for church and for graduation photos, where a fitted waist photographs better than a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash by hand or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's how rayon shrinks and it won't come back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe flag it when a dress runs small, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes XS through 2X in the same cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
