The back is elasticized, so it gives where you need it and stays put through a long evening — no adjusting straps between courses. The empire seam sits high, above the natural waist, which means the skirt falls away from the midsection rather than clinging to it. Our customers wear it to sunset dinners and then again the next night, because it's cotton and it doesn't feel like an event dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — halter, bare shoulders and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire seam, elasticized back for give\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% poplin cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pacific Legend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elasticized back does the sizing work here, so this dress is more forgiving than a fixed-back halter of the same size. Order your usual size. If you're broader through the ribcage or bust, the stretch panel gives you room a woven back wouldn't. Poplin is a crisp cotton rather than a soft drape — the skirt holds its shape and moves away from the body instead of following it, which is why the empire cut works. Halter necklines carry weight at the shoulders and neck, so if you'd rather have support built in, wear it with a strapless bra or a bandeau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, anniversary evenings, a lu'au where you'll be sitting on the grass, and hot afternoons when a sleeve on your shoulder is one thing too many.

Cotton poplin will shrink a little on a hot wash, so keep it cool and it holds its length. Warm iron if you want the crispness back.\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 fits before you buy, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
