This one arrives already short — the skirt lands three to five inches above the knee — and the waist and bust darts sit where they should on a shorter torso instead of drooping two inches low. If you're 5'4\" or under and tired of dresses that swallow you, this is the cut to try. If you're taller, read the fit note below carefully before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — petite, fitted through the bodice with bust darts and waist darts front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini, 3 to 5 inches above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e — made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis A-line runs small and short for most people.\u003c\/strong\u003e Take that literally — if you're between sizes, go up, and if you normally need a longer skirt, this is not the dress to gamble on. The darting means it holds the body rather than skimming it, so there's very little give to borrow if the bust or waist is tight. The back zip means you can't pull it on over your head to test the fit, either. On a petite frame it sits clean and the mini length reads intentional; on a taller frame the hem climbs fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLunch out, an afternoon shower or birthday party, a resort dinner where you want your legs out of the heat, and shopping days where you'd rather not fight a maxi in and out of changing rooms. Cotton means it holds up to a warm day without going limp against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton, so wash it cold and tumble low or hang it. A hot wash will take a little length out of a dress that's already short — not worth the risk. Warm iron the skirt if it creases at the fold.\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 flag it when a cut runs small or short, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA person answers the phone and will talk you through fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

The length is drafted for a petite frame, so on anyone taller it rides well above the knee. The bodice is also cut short through the torso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I size up?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if you're between sizes or you like a little ease. It runs small and the darted, fitted bodice doesn't stretch to forgive a tight fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow short is it really?\u003c\/strong\u003e Three to five inches above the knee, depending on your height. It's a mini, not a short tea length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I get into it on my own?\u003c\/strong\u003e The zip is at the back. Most customers manage it, but it's easier with a hand nearby than a pull-on style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MauiShirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59771779842334,"sku":"127S-B45","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/8608\/2334\/files\/parrots-monstera-short-tank-64_a647e727-d0df-4139-9859-a4a8c8746127.jpg?v=1786843575","url":"https:\/\/mauishirts.com\/products\/parrots-monstera-short-tank-dress","provider":"MauiShirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
