It's cut close through the bust and ribcage, then releases at the empire seam and flares out, so the shape does the work and you're not fussing with a waistband all evening. Adjustable straps mean you set the bodice height once and leave it — useful if you're long or short through the torso, which is where most sundresses go wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, sitting high under the bust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaming\u003c\/strong\u003e — armhole princess seams, front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnug on the upper body — that's deliberate. The armhole princess seams shape the bust rather than draping over it, so the bodice follows your actual figure instead of hanging straight. Below the high waist seam it flares clean away from the hips and stomach, which is why this style suits people who want definition on top and nothing clinging underneath. Rayon has no stretch, so the fit you get through the ribcage is the fit you keep; if you're broad through the shoulders or full in the bust, allow for that when choosing. Mini length means it sits well above the knee — worth knowing before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, hotel bars, a friend's backyard party, cruise nights when a full-length dress is too much. It's also a straightforward beach cover-up over a swimsuit because the zip goes up in one motion and the flared skirt doesn't stick to damp skin.\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, not washing.\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 something runs snug instead of letting you find out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us about fit before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
