It pulls over your head, you snug the empire drawstring to wherever it sits comfortably under the bust, and you're dressed. That single tie is what makes it work for a bloated afternoon, a post-baby shape, or a body that changes across a week — the same dress fits all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over style, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, adjustable drawstring tie at the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined on top, vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\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 empire drawstring does most of the sizing work here, so the bust and shoulders are what you're really choosing for. Vertical bust darts give shape rather than a straight tube, which means a fuller bust is supported instead of squashed — and the top is fully lined, so nothing shows through. Rayon falls closer to the body than cotton does, so it skims from the empire seam down rather than standing away. Knee length reads the same on most heights; if you're tall, expect it to sit just above the knee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunday church, a lu'au where you'll be sitting on a folding chair for two hours, lunch out after the beach, cruise port days, and any hot afternoon where you want to look put together without a jacket or a belt. It's also the dress our customers pack for a week when they only have room for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it. Loosen the drawstring before washing so the gathers dry flat.\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 answer fit questions before you order, not after it arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight talk on cut and drape, not just a size letter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

It's the reason this dress forgives a size either way at the waist — but the bust and shoulders are fixed, so choose for those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear a normal bra with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
