The bodice is genuinely fitted — princess seams front and back pull it in close through the ribs and chest — and then the skirt releases from a high waist and flares out. It's the dress for a dinner where you'll be standing, dancing or walking a warm street afterwards, not the loose throw-on kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — snug through the upper body, high fitted empire waist, flared 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\u003eRead this as a fitted dress, not a forgiving one. The upper body is meant to sit close, and the princess seaming means the shaping is built into the panels — it follows the bust and ribcage rather than skimming over them. The empire seam lands high, well above the natural waist, so the flare starts early and the skirt does the moving. Adjustable straps let you set the bodice height for your torso length, which matters more here than on most dresses because the waist seam needs to sit where your ribs end. Rayon has drape and very little stretch, so if you're deciding between two sizes and want breathing room through the bust, go with the larger. Mini length: check it against your own frame before you commit, since the same cut reads much shorter on a tall wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, a resort bar, a birthday night out, Friday aloha wear where the office lets you go short. It also travels well as the one dress you bring for evenings when everything else in the case is beachwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it and puts a permanent crease in a fitted bodice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of selling Hawaiian clothing out of a Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you when a dress is cut close, because a fitted bodice is where returns happen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
