The empire drawstring is the whole point: pull it snug for a defined waist, leave it easy after dinner, and the dress reads the same either way. It's the one our customers take on a trip when they only have room for one dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, with an adjustable drawstring tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over style, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined on top, vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawstring does most of the work here. Because the waist sits high under the bust and ties, you get a range of fit rather than one fixed measurement — useful if your midsection changes through the day or through the year. The bust is shaped with vertical darts and lined, so it holds its shape instead of collapsing flat the way an unlined rayon bodice can. Below the tie the skirt falls loose to the knee. Rayon hangs closer to the body than cotton, so if you prefer air between you and the fabric, go up rather than down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a lu'au where you'll be sitting on a bench for two hours, church, an anniversary lunch, or the flight over — it comes out of a bag creased and drops smooth on a hanger. Knee length also means you can wear it with flat sandals without it looking short or with a heel without it looking long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron. Keep it out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks rayon, not water. Untie the drawstring before washing so the waist dries evenly.\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 how a garment actually sits on a body, not just what it's called\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order, by a person who has handled the dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
