The bias cut does the work: it falls on the diagonal of the fabric, so it moves with you instead of hanging straight down, and back waist darts keep the shape defined without a zip or a belt. Mothers of the bride, grandmothers at a luau, and women who want one dress that photographs well alongside four aloha shirts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Red, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — tea length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut\u003c\/strong\u003e — bias cut with back waist darts and a flared bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e — yes, sleeved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made 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\u003eTake your usual size. A bias cut is more forgiving than a straight-cut dress through the waist and hip, but it also skims closer to the body than a shift, so if you want it to float rather than trace, go up one. Rayon drapes heavier than cotton and the bottom flare will swing when you walk. Tea length sits below the knee and above the ankle on most heights — on a shorter frame it reads closer to mid-calf, which still works. The sleeves and darted back mean you don't need a wrap over the shoulders for a dressier evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily portrait sessions where everyone is in the same print, beach wedding guest duty, luau dinners, cruise formal-ish nights, and church on Sunday in Black. White works for a bridal party role; Red is the one customers pick for Christmas and for anniversary dinners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron on the reverse. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it, not washing. Hang it on a padded hanger between wears so the bias doesn't pull at the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching family prints are our specialty — we sort out who wears what\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years shipping Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe give you fit guidance before you order, in writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
