This one solves the first problem outright — the criss-cross straps at the back thread through two button holes on each side, so you set the strap length to your own torso rather than living with whatever the factory chose. Customers who are long through the body, or short-waisted, are the ones who keep coming back to this cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large, 3X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Beige GV2, Beige GV2 - Plus, Light Blue GV2, Pink w\/Blue, Pink w\/green, Turquoise GV1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — halter, criss-cross straps at the back with two button holes each side for adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire seam, sitting under the bust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy your normal dress size. The back zipper means the bodice has to fit — there's no pull-on stretch to forgive an in-between measurement — so if you're on the line, take the larger size and shorten the straps to tighten the neckline. The empire seam sits high under the bust and the skirt falls away from there, which means the waist and hip are the forgiving part of this dress. Fuller busts should watch the bodice rather than the skirt. Cotton has body rather than cling, so it holds a shape instead of following one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners where you'd rather not carry a jacket, lu'au evenings, resort breakfasts, and the flight home when you want one thing that doesn't need thinking about. Bare shoulders read summer-evening, so if the venue is air-conditioned bring a light wrap — the halter is the point of the dress, not something to cover permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton can tighten a little on a hot cycle, so keep the water cool and it stays true. Warm iron the skirt if it comes out of the dryer folded; leave the strap area alone.\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\u003eSizes XS through 3X in the same dress, not a truncated size run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll talk you through fit before you order rather than process a return afterwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
