Princess seams front and back do the shaping, the empire waist sits high and stays put, and everything below it flares clean so you can sit down at a long dinner without tugging at anything. Customers buy it for the evening and then wear it again the next afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize stocked\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour stocked\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — fitted snugly through the upper body, high slender waist, gradual flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — short sundress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — sweetheart neckline, princess seams front and back, H straps, zipper closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% poplin cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pacific Legend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis dress runs small for some people.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed to sit close on the bust and rib cage, so there is very little give above the waist seam — if you carry width through the bust or shoulders, treat the X-Large as a true X-Large and not a roomy one. The zipper means you step into it rather than pulling it over your head, and the H straps hold the neckline in place instead of sliding off the shoulder. Below the empire seam it flares freely, so hips are never the limiting measurement here; the bust and the waist are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a garden party, a wedding you're attending rather than standing up in, and hot days where you want a shaped silhouette without a lining. Black in cotton poplin holds a crisp line all evening, so it photographs well under warm light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Poplin cotton takes a warm iron happily and presses flat along the princess seams. Avoid a hot dryer — cotton this fitted has no room to give back if it tightens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you when a cut runs small before you order, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us about a specific measurement and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

X-Large is the size we stock, so if your bust measurement is at the top of an X-Large in other brands, this one will feel firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it fitted through the hips?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It flares from the empire waist down, so the skirt is loose regardless of hip measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear a regular bra with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
