There's no zip and no buttons — it goes over your head, and then you pull the empire drawstring in until it sits where you want it. That single tie is why it works on a range of shapes that a fixed waist seam would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, with adjustable drawstring tie at the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined bodice, vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, no zip\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 bust is shaped with vertical darts and lined, so it holds its shape rather than hanging flat — a real advantage if you're fuller through the chest. Below the tie it releases into a soft skirt, which skims the stomach and hips instead of gripping them. Tie it snug and high for a defined waist; leave it easy for a loose, cool fit. Rayon falls closer to the body than cotton, so expect drape rather than volume. Knee length reads as knee on most heights, a touch above on taller frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'au dinners, an anniversary meal on a lanai, church on a warm Sunday, and travel days where you want one dress that goes from a flight to a restaurant. The lined bodice and knee hem keep it appropriate for occasions where a beach cover-up would look underdressed.\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 what shrinks rayon, not the washing. Untie the drawstring before washing so the gathers dry evenly.\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 describe how a garment actually sits on the body, not just what it's called\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order, by a person who has handled the dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
