It holds close through the bodice and high waist, then releases into a flared mini, so the shape does the work rather than a belt. If you like a defined waist and short hemline, this is the cut to reach for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, snug through the upper body, 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 shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaming\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\u003eThe bodice is the deciding factor, not the hips. Princess seaming front and back shapes it close through the ribcage and bust, and the waist sits high and fitted — this is a snug top half by design. Below the empire seam the skirt is cut full, so hip measurement rarely causes a problem. Rayon has almost no stretch, so if you carry more through the bust or shoulders, take the roomier option. The straps adjust, which helps set the empire seam where you actually want it. Mini length means short — worth knowing before you order if you prefer coverage on the thigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a night out in Lahaina, hotel cocktail hours, birthdays and bachelorette weekends. It also works as an over-the-swimsuit dress for lunch, because it pulls on and zips in one motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron on the reverse. Never put rayon through a hot dryer — that's how these dresses shrink. Zip it closed before washing so the slider doesn't catch the fabric.\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 describe fit honestly, including when a cut is snug or short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a sizing question 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.
