It's cut close through the ribs and waist with darts front and back, sits 2\"–4\" above the knee, and zips up the back. Women buy it for warm evenings out where a loose dress would look like beachwear and a maxi would be too much. Read the fit notes before you order — this is the tightest cut in our sundress range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — form fitting mini; runs small for some people\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2\"–4\" above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, ruched bust line, un-adjustable spaghetti straps, waist darted front and back, back zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC, Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuns small for some people.\u003c\/strong\u003e Don't order to your usual dress size out of habit — measure a fitted dress you already own and compare it to the Style 154 empire waist size chart, and if your numbers land between two sizes go with the larger. The darts and the ruched bust mean there is no give to fall back on. The straps are a fixed length and can't be let out, so shoulder-to-bust height matters as much as bust width here. This is a petite cut: on a taller frame the empire seam sits low and the hem rides higher than 4\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner on a warm night, a sunset cruise, a birthday out, a mother-daughter photo in a shared print.
