It pulls straight over your head, and the empire drawstring cinches wherever it suits you that day — higher and closer under the bust, or eased out for a big dinner. That adjustability is why it works for post-baby bodies, for changing weight, and for anyone who has ordered a dress before and found the waist landed in the wrong place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over style, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, with an 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\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined on top, with vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawstring is the whole story here — the waist sits high, just under the bust, and you set the tension yourself, so the dress forgives a lot. Vertical bust darts shape the front rather than leaving it flat, and the lined bodice means it holds its shape instead of clinging. Below the waist the rayon falls away loose to the knee, so nothing pulls across the hip or stomach. If you're between sizes and want more air through the skirt, take the larger one; the tie will bring the top back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'au dinners, a resort restaurant where shorts won't do, Sunday service, a cruise port day where you'll be walking and then sitting down to eat. The knee length keeps it easy on stairs and tenders, and the scoop square neck takes a shell lei or a simple pendant without competing with it.\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 — heat is what shrinks rayon and puts a permanent crease in the drawstring channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from a Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you how a garment actually sits on the body before you buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall or email with a fit question and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
