This one is drafted for exactly that shape. Because the fabric is cut on the bias, it falls on the diagonal and follows the body instead of pulling across the widest point, so the hipline reads smooth rather than strained. Darted at the bust and again at the waist in back, so the shaping is built into the seams — not held together by a stretch panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut\u003c\/strong\u003e — bias cut, figure-hugging and slimming through the waist and hip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e — bust darted, waist darted at the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/strong\u003e — pear-shaped figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bias cut behaves differently from a straight-grain dress. It clings where you're widest and drapes where you're not, so it reads closer to the body than the flat measurement suggests. Wear proper foundation garments under it — bias fabric shows everything beneath. If you want a tighter line through the waist, a cardigan clip or shawl clip at the back gathers the excess and pulls the shaping in without altering the dress. Knee length sits at the knee on an average-height frame and just below it if you're shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner reservations, island weddings where you're a guest rather than the bride, anniversary evenings, church, and the kind of afternoon party where you want to look put together without a jacket. It works under a wrap or light cardigan when the restaurant runs the air conditioning cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Rayon and hot dryers don't mix — heat is what shrinks it and puckers a bias seam. Zip the back closed before washing so the zipper teeth don't catch the fabric.\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'll tell you which body shape a cut suits before you buy it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal fit advice from people who handle the garments daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
