The bodice is seamed and fitted, the waist sits high and narrow, and everything below it flares out and moves. Adjustable straps mean you set the bust height yourself rather than living with wherever the factory put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, snug through the bodice, 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\u003eConstruction\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper body is the tight part. Princess seams front and back pull the bodice in close, and the empire waist sits high and slender — this is a cut that flatters a defined waistline rather than skimming past it. If you're fuller through the bust or ribcage, go up rather than down; there is no stretch in rayon and the zip closure gives you no room to negotiate. Below the waist seam it releases and flares, so hips are not the limiting measurement here. The skirt is mini length, so check it against your own height before you commit — the same hem sits very differently on 5'2\" and 5'9\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm-evening dinners, a night out after a beach day, resort bars, and the kind of party where you want a short dress that won't wilt in humidity. The adjustable straps make it easy to wear with a strapless or convertible bra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash by hand or on gentle, or dry clean. Hang to dry — never a hot dryer, which is what shrinks rayon. Warm iron on the reverse if the skirt needs settling.\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 snug before you order, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
