It's drafted with a shorter bodice and a higher waist, so the darts land where they should on a frame under about 5'4\" instead of sitting halfway down the ribcage. The hem finishes 3 to 5 inches above the knee, and the back zip means it holds its shape rather than hanging loose the way a pull-on dress does. Regular and plus sizing is available in this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — petite cut, fitted through bust and waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini, 3–5 inches above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e — bust darts, waist darts front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e — made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis A-line runs small and short for most people.\u003c\/strong\u003e Take the next size up if you're between sizes, or if you want any ease across the bust — the darting makes it a fitted dress, not a forgiving one. Cotton has no stretch, so the zip has to close over your actual measurement with nothing to spare. On anyone taller than about 5'5\", the mini length will read shorter still; if that's you and you want knee coverage, this isn't the cut to choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm-weather dinners out, a lu'au where you'd rather not be in something floor-length, daytime showers and birthday lunches, and vacation evenings when you want a defined waist without shapewear. The square neck sits well under a lightweight cardigan for air-conditioned restaurants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton can tighten slightly on a hot wash, and this dress has no room to give it — keep the water cool. Warm iron on the skirt if it creases in a case; zip it closed before pressing so the back seam stays true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you when a cut runs small, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetite and plus fits both stocked, not just standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
