It's drafted on a petite block, so the waist darts land where your waist actually is instead of somewhere near your ribs. Fair warning before you order: this cut runs small and short for most people, and we'd rather tell you now than process a return later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — petite fit, fitted through the body with bust darts and waist darts front and back\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\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e — tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuns small and short.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most customers need to go up a size from what they normally wear, especially through the bust — it's a darted, fitted style with a back zip, so there's no give in the seams to borrow from. The mini length sits 3–5 inches above the knee on a petite frame; if you're taller than about 5'5\", expect it to read shorter than that on you. Use our short tank dress size chart rather than guessing from another brand, and if you're between numbers, take the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm-weather dinners out, a bar on the water, sightseeing days where you want one thing on and no fussing. The square neck and back zip give it enough structure for a restaurant, and cotton means you can wear it in real heat without sticking to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold on gentle or delicate with a mild soap. Line dry and press with a cool iron. No hot water, no hot dryer, no bleach — the fitted darts hold their shape best when the cotton isn't cooked.\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 flag the cuts that run small before you buy, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDress-specific size charts on the page instead of generic S\/M\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
