It's fitted close through the bust and rib cage, cinches high under the bust, then releases into an A-line that swings when you walk. Customers who like a defined waist and don't want to wear anything shapewear-ish under a dress buy this cut, because the princess seams do the shaping for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — tailored empire waist, snug through the upper body, flared below\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\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Paradise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead this as a fitted dress, not a forgiving one. The bodice is cut to sit snugly on the upper body with a slender high waist, so the bust and rib measurement matter more than the hip — the skirt flares away and won't restrict you there. Rayon has almost no stretch, so if you're broad through the shoulders or full-busted, allow for that rather than counting on give in the seams. The adjustable straps let you set the empire seam exactly under the bust, which is where this silhouette lives or dies. Call or message us with your bust and rib measurements before ordering and we'll tell you honestly which size to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClubs, resort bars, birthday dinners, and the kind of warm evening where a mini and sandals is the whole outfit. It also works as a daytime sundress if you want something shaped instead of loose — throw a light wrap over the shoulders for air conditioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron on the reverse. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it and shortens a mini you liked the length of.\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 cut runs snug instead of letting you find out at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order, by a person\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
