This one is drafted for a shorter frame: the waist darts land where a petite waist actually sits, the square neckline stays put instead of gaping, and the hem finishes three to five inches above the knee. It is a fitted dress, not a float-away one, and it runs small — that combination is the single thing to get right before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — petite cut, fitted through bust and waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini, 3–5 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 — zipper back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e — bust darts; waist darts front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e — A-line short tank dress, border print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC, Shannon Marie\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 If you are between sizes, take the larger one — the bust and waist darts mean there is very little give to borrow from. Check the short tank dress size chart at the bottom of the page rather than assuming your usual dress size carries over; the petite draft changes where everything lands. Taller than about 5'5\"? The hem will read considerably shorter on you than the 3–5 inches above the knee stated here. The back zip means the dress goes on shaped, so there is no pulling it over your hips if the size is tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a birthday lunch, an afternoon on Front Street, sunset drinks where you want bare legs and no jacket.
