This one goes on over your head. The bias cut does the work: it falls on the diagonal so it moves with you and skims instead of clinging, and the V-neck keeps the whole thing from reading like a beach cover-up. There's a deep pocket in the right side seam, which is the detail customers mention back to us most often on a long evening dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, no zip or buttons; cut through large plus sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — V-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e — cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — one deep in-seam pocket, right side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — bias cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Puanani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bias-cut rayon dress behaves differently from a straight-cut one. It has stretch on the diagonal, so it gives across the bust and hip without a seam to fight, and it hangs closer to the body than a cotton dress in the same size. That means it flatters a fuller figure but it does not hide the line of what's underneath — most customers wear a smooth slip or seamless underlayer with it. The pull-over neckline is generous enough to clear your head without disturbing your hair. If you're deciding between two sizes and want a looser drape rather than a fitted one, take the larger; bias rayon relaxes as it hangs, it doesn't shrink into shape. Ring us before you order and we'll go over your measurements against the garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvening receptions, vow renewals, anniversary dinners, cruise formal nights, and any long-dress occasion in humidity where a lined mainland gown would be unbearable. It's also the dress that works for a lu'au where you still want to look like a guest of honour rather than a tourist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash by hand or dry clean, and hang it to dry on a padded hanger — a wire hanger will leave shoulder points in bias rayon. Warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer; rayon shrinks and the bias drape is the first thing you'd lose.\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 stock long dresses through large plus sizes, not just to XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal measurements and honest fit advice before you buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
