The empire seam sits high, just under the bust, and a drawstring runs through it — so you pull the dress on, tie it where it feels right, and the waist lands where you want it rather than where a pattern maker decided. No zip to fight with, no buttons down the back. Customers pack this for trips where they need one dress that works for dinner and still works after dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, with an adjustable drawstring tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e — vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined on top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\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, so this cut forgives a lot. Vertical bust darts give the front real shape instead of hanging flat, and the lined bodice means the top half holds its form without clinging. Below the empire seam the rayon falls away from the body — it skims rather than follows, which suits most shapes and hides a waistline you'd rather not advertise. Cinch the tie firmly for a defined silhouette, leave it easy for a relaxed one. Knee length reads as a true knee on an average height frame and just below on a shorter one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a friend's beach ceremony where you're a guest rather than the bride, Sunday brunch, and the flight home when you don't want to change out of something comfortable. It's also the dress women grab for a lu'au because the pull-on cut means no one has to zip you up in a hotel room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks rayon, not water. Untie the drawstring before washing so the empire seam dries flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe describe cut and construction honestly, including what a dress won't do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a fit question before you order — a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
