The empire drawstring ties under the bust and you pull it as snug or as easy as you want, so the same dress works on a long torso, a short torso, and a body that changes between March and December. It goes on over your head — no zip to reach behind for, no buttons to fasten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with an adjustable drawstring tie\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\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 the fitting work. Tie it tight and the skirt flares away from the body; leave it loose and the whole dress reads as a soft column. Vertical bust darts mean the front is shaped rather than flat, so it holds its line instead of hanging straight off the chest. Rayon falls closer to the body than cotton — expect drape, not volume. The bodice is lined, so nothing shows through up top and you're not layering a slip underneath. Knee length sits at the knee on an average frame and just below on a shorter one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'au dinners, a resort restaurant where shorts would look wrong, church, a cruise port day, and any afternoon that starts casual and ends up at a table with tablecloths. It's also the dress to pack when you have one slot in the case and two kinds of evening ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks rayon and it does not come back.\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\u003eWe describe how a garment actually sits on a body, not just what it's called\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a fit question before you order and a person answers it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
