The bodice is fitted, the waist sits high under the bust, and the skirt breaks away from there into a flare. It's the dress you wear to dinner on a hot night when a maxi feels like too much fabric and a sundress feels like too little structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, snug through the upper body, 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\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper body is the tight part. Princess seams front and back curve the bodice to the torso rather than hanging straight off the bust, and the high waist is cut slender by design — this is not a forgiving A-line through the ribcage. Below the empire seam the skirt flares and stops short. Adjustable straps let you set the bodice height, which matters on a high waist: pull them up if the seam is sitting low on you, let them out if it's riding above the bust. Rayon has almost no stretch, so judge the fit by your upper bust and waist, not by the skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, cocktail hour on a lanai, birthday nights out, and any evening where you want your legs out and your shoulders bare. The zip closure and seamed bodice give it enough finish for a restaurant; the mini length keeps it firmly off-duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks rayon, not water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from a Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you where a dress runs tight before you buy, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
