The empire waist ties with a drawstring, so you set the fit yourself — snug under the bust on a day you want shape, eased off after a big lu'au dinner. It pulls straight over your head, there's nothing to zip, and the top is fully lined so you're not hunting for a slip before you leave the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with an adjustable drawstring; pull-over, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined on top, vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawstring does most of the work here, which makes this a forgiving dress if you're between sizes or your waist measurement changes through the day. Vertical bust darts give shape through the bodice rather than letting it hang flat, and the scoop square neck sits high enough for daytime. Below the tie the rayon falls away from the body instead of clinging — expect fluid drape, not structure. Knee length reads short on a taller frame and closer to mid-shin on a petite one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'au dinners, a wedding you're a guest at rather than in, hotel restaurants, and the flight home. It's also the dress that works when you need one piece to carry you from an afternoon on the water through to a sit-down meal without a change of clothes.\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 — that's where the length goes.
