It sits snug across the upper body, cinches high under the bust, then releases into a flare that moves when you walk. If you like a defined waist without a belt or a wrap tie, this is the cut that does it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, fitted through the upper body, flared skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaming\u003c\/strong\u003e — armhole princess seams, front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead this as a fitted dress, not a forgiving one. The bodice is deliberately snug and the princess seams follow the bust rather than skimming past it, so bust measurement matters more here than hips — the skirt below the empire seam is flared and won't argue with you. The adjustable straps let you set the empire line where it actually sits on your torso, which is what makes a high waist look right on a shorter frame. Mini length: if you prefer coverage on the thigh, this is not the dress. Between sizes, go up — the zip gives you no ease to negotiate with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, cocktail hour on a cruise, resort evenings where a maxi feels like too much dress, and warm nights where you want bare shoulders. Works with flat sandals in the afternoon and a heeled sandal after six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron. Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's how rayon dresses lose their length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you when a cut runs fitted instead of letting you find out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order — a person picks up the phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
