It goes over the head, the V-neck does the work at the front, and the bias cut keeps a long dress from reading as a tent. There is one real pocket in the right side seam, which is where the room key and the phone go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, no zip or buttons; cut generously through the body, plus sizes available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut\u003c\/strong\u003e — bias cut, full length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — V-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e — cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — one, right side in-seam\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 — Punani, RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBias cut means the fabric is cut on the diagonal, so it moves with the hip and waist rather than hanging straight off the shoulder. That is what makes a long rayon dress flattering on a fuller figure instead of boxy. Rayon also falls closer to the body than cotton does — if you want the dress skimming rather than following your shape, go up rather than down. The pull-over construction needs enough room across the shoulders and bust to get on comfortably, so consider your widest measurement first, not your waist. Full length means it is cut for an average height frame; if you are petite, plan on a heel or a hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWedding receptions where you are a guest rather than the bride, luau dinners, cruise formal nights, anniversaries, and the kind of warm-evening event where a mainland cocktail dress would be too heavy by seven o'clock. It also works for a long flight into somewhere warm — put it on at the airport, arrive dressed.\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 and takes the drape out of a bias cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from a Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus size dresses are a category we actually stock, not an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe give you the fit details before you order, and a person answers the phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
