It sits close through the bust and ribcage, breaks at the empire seam, then flares out — so it holds a shape without gripping the hips or stomach. The straps adjust, which means you can set the bust height where you want it rather than living with wherever the manufacturer put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, seamed high and fitted\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 — spaghetti, adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zip up the back\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\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\u003eSnug through the upper body — that's deliberate, and it's what the princess seaming is for. The bodice is shaped rather than gathered, so it follows the bust and ribcage instead of hanging off them. If you're fuller through the bust, that's where the fit will be tightest, so allow for it. Below the empire seam there's no restriction at all; the flare skims the hips. Because the back zips rather than pulls on, the fit is set — there's no give if the bodice is tight. Adjustable straps let you shorten the rise if you're petite through the torso. It is a genuine mini: the hem lands high, so check that against how you plan to wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm evenings out, resort dinners, a bridal shower or a luau where you want something with actual shape. It also works as a beach cover-up for anyone who wants more than a wrap — the zip back and fitted bodice hold up better on a windy shoreline than a tie closure does.\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 on a fitted bodice you notice immediately.\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 where a garment is tight and where it isn't\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order, by a person\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
