The petite fit puts the darts and the waist seam where they actually land on a shorter torso. Two warnings up front, because we'd rather say it here than take the return: it runs small, and the hem is genuinely short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — petite, bust darted and waist darted front and back, fitted through the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini, 3 to 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 — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, 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 from your usual, and if you're between sizes go up rather than down — the darting means there's no give to borrow. It's a fitted style, not a shift, so the bust and waist need to land right. On anyone above about 5'5\" the mini length will read shorter than 3 inches above the knee, so factor that in before you order. The back zipper means it goes on like a dress and stays put, but it also means the fit is fixed once it's on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out on a warm evening, a daytime birthday party, a bridal shower, or the kind of trip where you want one dress that isn't a cover-up. Cotton holds the A-line shape better than a drapier cloth, so it stays neat through a long afternoon in the heat.\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 spare — keep the water cool. Warm iron on the skirt if you want the A-line crisp.\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 something runs small, before you buy it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetite cuts stocked as their own fit, not shortened guesswork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
