The bodice is fitted and seamed, the waist sits high under the bust, and the skirt flares away from there — so it reads dressy without needing shapewear or a jacket over it. Adjustable straps mean you set the strap length yourself rather than living with whatever the factory decided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — snug through the upper body, high fitted waist, flared skirt below\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 bodice is the deciding factor. It's built to sit snugly on the upper body, and the princess seams front and back shape it rather than skim it — so this is a dress you fit to your bust and ribcage first, and the flared skirt takes care of itself. Rayon has very little give, so if you're deciding between two sizes and want breathing room through the chest, go up. The empire seam lands high, just under the bust, which shortens the visual waist and lengthens the leg. Hem is a mini, so check it against your own comfort with a short skirt before ordering — there's no extra length to let down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, birthday nights out, cocktail hour before a beach reception, and warm-weather weddings where you're a guest rather than in the party. It also travels well as the one dress in the bag that isn't a cover-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Rayon and hot dryers don't mix — heat is what shortens a rayon dress permanently.\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 tell you how a garment actually sits on the body, not just what size it's labelled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a sizing question before you order and a person answers it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

They're adjustable, which helps a lot in getting the empire seam to land right under the bust rather than across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow short is the mini?\u003c\/strong\u003e Short — it's cut as a mini, not a shortened tea length.
