It's a genuine mini — the hem lands 2\" to 4\" above the knee — and it's cut close through the ribs and waist rather than skimming. Customers who buy it tend to be petite, comfortable in something fitted, and heading somewhere warm in the evening. Customers who want float and air should look at a house dress instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — form fitting; \u003cstrong\u003eruns small for some women\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini, 2\"–4\" above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, ruched bust line, waist darts front and back, zipper back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — spaghetti, not adjustable\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 by RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuns small for some women, so order up if you're deciding between two sizes. Use the Style 154 Empire Waist Spaghetti Straps Sundress size chart for this dress — not a general womens chart, and not your usual dress size. The most reliable method: measure a fitted dress you already own and compare it against that specific chart. Because the straps don't adjust, strap length is fixed by the size you pick, and the waist darts front and back mean there is very little give once the zip is up. This is a short cut on a long frame — if you're tall, expect it to read shorter than the stated 2\"–4\" above the knee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm evenings out, sunset dinners, birthday and anniversary nights when you want something fitted, a mother-and-daughter photo in the same print, and beach town strolling where a maxi length gets in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold on gentle or delicate with a mild soap.
