The empire seam sits high, just under the bust, and the drawstring at that seam ties to wherever you want it. Pull it snug for a defined shape, leave it easy for a dress that skims. It goes on over your head — no zip to reach behind you, no buttons to fuss with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with adjustable tie-front drawstring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over style, no zip or closures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square, fully lined through the top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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 drawstring at the empire seam does most of the work here, so this dress forgives a lot at the midsection — it's a good pick if you carry weight through the waist or want something that still works after a big dinner. Vertical bust darts mean the top half is shaped rather than boxy, and the lining stops the rayon from clinging. Rayon falls closer to the body than cotton does, so it skims from the empire seam down rather than standing away from you. Knee length means it reads as a dress rather than a sundress, and it doesn't need a hem check on most heights.

The pull-over construction and adjustable tie also make it a favourite for anyone travelling — it packs down small and you can dress it up or down with sandals or a heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold Beach Botanic runs across five pieces, so you can put a group in the same print without everyone wearing the identical silhouette. There's the Bold Beach Botanic II Womens Peasant Blouse, the Bold Beach Botanic II Smocked Tube Dress, the Bold Beach Botanic Dress with Pockets, and the Bold Beach Botanic Long Smocked Dress. Order them together and the shades line up in photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed.
