The princess seams through the armhole — front and back — pull it in close across the bust and ribs, then the skirt releases from a high empire waist and flares out. Women who don't like a dress clinging at the hip tend to like this cut immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — snug through the upper body, fitted slender high waist, flared skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\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\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\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\u003eFitted, not forgiving. The snug section is the bust and the high waist, so judge your size on your bust measurement rather than your hips — the flared skirt handles the rest. It closes with a zip, which means there's no stretch to fall back on; if you're between sizes and carry width through the back or bust, take the larger one. The adjustable straps let you set the bodice height, so a shorter torso can pull it up to sit where the empire seam should sit, just under the bust. Mini length means mini — check it against a skirt you already own before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm evenings out, sunset dinners, a friend's engagement party, dancing where a long skirt gets in the way. It also works as a resort cover-up over a swimsuit if you leave the straps long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks rayon and there's no fixing it afterwards.\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 cut and fit honestly, including when something runs close to the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order, by someone who has handled the garment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
