The bodice holds close, the empire seam sits high under the bust, and everything below that flares out and moves. Customers who find most tropical dresses shapeless — straight tubes with a print on them — buy this one instead, because it's actually constructed: princess seams front and back, a zip, and straps you can set to your own shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, snug through the bodice, flared skirt\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 at the shoulder\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\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 loose one. The upper body is meant to sit close, and the high empire waist is cut slender — if you carry width through the rib cage or bust, expect it to be firm there rather than forgiving. The princess seaming is what makes that possible; it shapes over the bust instead of hanging off it. Below the waist seam the skirt releases and flares, so hips are not the limiting measurement. Adjustable straps let you raise or drop the neckline and set the waist seam where it belongs on your torso, which matters more on an empire cut than on any other dress shape. Rayon drapes close and has no stretch, so if you want breathing room in the bodice, go up rather than down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm evenings out, dinner after the beach, birthday parties, cruise nights ashore, and any occasion where you'd rather show leg than layer up. The mini length also makes it one of the easier dresses to travel with — it takes almost no room in a case.\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. Unzip fully before pulling it on or off so the closure isn't taking any strain.\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 when a dress is cut fitted rather than letting you find out at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us about fit before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
