The bodice sits close through the ribs and the high waist seam, then the skirt releases into a flare and stops short. It's the dress for a sunset dinner where you want to look put together and still be able to eat, and for anyone who prefers straps they can adjust rather than a strapless dress they spend the night pulling up.\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\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 part to think about. It's cut to fit snugly across the bust and rib cage, with princess seams front and back doing the shaping — that gives it structure, but it also means there's less give than a shift or a pull-on dress. If you're fuller through the bust and between sizes, go up; the flare below the empire seam will still hang loose regardless. Rayon has almost no stretch, so the zip and the seams set the fit, not the fabric. The adjustable straps let you raise the waist seam to sit right under the bust, which is where an empire cut looks best. This is a mini length, so check it against your own height before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a cocktail hour, a birthday out, a wedding you're attending rather than standing up in. It also works as a hot-afternoon dress in town — the skirt doesn't sit against your legs.\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. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer; heat is what shrinks it and puts a permanent set in the empire seam.\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 how a garment actually sits on the body, not just what size it says\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a fit 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.
