That matters if you're long through the torso, short through the torso, or just tired of a neckline that sits wrong all evening. Empire seam sits under the bust and the skirt falls away from there, which is the reason this dress works on a hot night when nothing should be clinging to your middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — halter with criss cross back straps, two button holes each side for adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire seam, sits under the bust\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 by RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake your usual size. The empire cut is forgiving below the bust, so the fit decision comes down to your bust and shoulders rather than your waist — a common reason women size up in a dress and then find the top gaping. Rayon has more drape and less give than a cotton knit, so if you're between sizes, take the larger of the two and use the strap button holes to bring the neckline up. Only X-Small and X-Large are stocked in this print; if you're a Medium or Large, call before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether the XL will work on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, lu'au evenings, cruise nights ashore, and any occasion where you want bare shoulders without a strapless dress you have to keep hitching up. The halter gives shoulder coverage from the front and an open back, which is a good trade in humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash by hand or on a gentle cycle, or dry clean. Hang to dry — never a hot dryer, which is what shortens a rayon dress permanently. Warm iron on the reverse if the skirt needs settling.\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 tell you when a size range is short instead of letting you find out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal fit guidance from people who have the dress in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Most customers go with a strapless or adhesive bra, or nothing at all in the X-Small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it dressy enough for a beach wedding as a guest?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes for a guest. Red reads celebratory rather than ceremonial, so it's a guest dress rather than a bridal party piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the length work if I'm tall?\u003c\/strong\u003e The empire seam sits high and the skirt drops from there, so the length reads longer than a waist-seam dress.
