It holds close through the bust and rib cage, sits high at the waist, then releases into a flared mini. Adjustable straps mean you set the bodice height yourself, which matters on a dress cut this snug up top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — snug through the upper body, high fitted empire waist, flared skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Paradise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaping is all in the bodice. Princess seams run from the armhole down through the bust front and back, so the dress follows the body rather than skimming it — if you're broader through the ribs or bust, this is the area to think about before the hip, because the skirt below the empire seam is flared and forgiving. The high waist sits above the natural waistline, so it reads long in the leg. Rayon has very little give, and the zip closure means the fit is fixed; nothing stretches to accommodate. Adjust the straps to bring the bodice up snug once it's on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out on a warm evening, sunset cocktails, a birthday, a night where you're walking between places and don't want fabric around your ankles. It's a short dress with structure, so it works where a loose sundress would look too casual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron on the reverse. Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's where rayon shrinks and doesn't come back.\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 where a garment is fitted and where it isn't, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
