It goes over your head, and the empire drawstring lets you set the waist exactly where you want it — snug under the bust for shape, or loosened off on a hot afternoon. No fitting room negotiation, no tailor, no asking someone to zip you up before dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with adjustable tie-front drawstring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, no zip or buttons\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\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, so this is a forgiving cut through the waist and hip. The shaping above the waist is fixed, though — vertical bust darts and a full lining mean the bodice holds its shape rather than collapsing, which is what a scoop square neckline needs to sit properly. Rayon falls closer to the body than cotton does, so the skirt drops from the empire seam rather than standing away from you. Knee length reads the same on most frames; taller women get a shorter hemline, not a different dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, a lu'au where you'll be sitting on the grass, church, and travel days when you want one thing that works from the airport to the restaurant. The adjustable waist is the reason customers pack it for cruises — you can wear it comfortably after a long meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon wants cold water and no heat. Hand wash or gentle cycle cold, hang to dry, and press with a warm iron if needed. A hot dryer will shrink it and you won't get it back.\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 give real fit detail, not just a size letter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a sizing question before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
