The criss cross straps tie through two button holes at the back, so you set the strap length yourself instead of living with whatever the factory decided. Empire seam sits just under the bust and the skirt falls away from there — flattering if you carry weight through the middle and want a dress you can eat dinner in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize stocked\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — criss cross halter, adjustable via two button holes at the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, seamed under the bust\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 — Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock this one in Large only, so read the cut before you order. The empire seam is the fitted part; everything below it is loose, which means the hip and stomach measurement matters far less than the bust. Adjustable straps buy you a little vertical range too — shorten them if you're petite through the torso and the empire seam sits low, lengthen them if it's riding high. The back is open above the ties, so plan a strapless bra or go without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot evenings where a sleeved dress is too much: lu'au dinners, sunset cruises, a resort restaurant, or a beach barbecue. Cotton rather than a slippery synthetic, so it doesn't stick to you in humidity and you can throw it in the wash after a day out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton can tighten up a little on a hot cycle, so keep the heat down and it will hold its shape. Warm iron if you want the skirt crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom — since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you what's actually stocked rather than listing sizes we can't ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you buy, by someone who has handled the garment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
