The empire drawstring pulls in or lets out at the waist, so it works the week you're bloated from a long flight and it works the week you're not. It goes over your head — no zip to reach behind for, no buttons to fasten in a hotel bathroom mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with an adjustable drawstring tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, 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 empire seam sits high, just under the bust, and everything below it falls away from the body rather than following it — forgiving through the middle and the hips. The drawstring is what does the real sizing work here: cinch it for definition, leave it loose for a shift-like drape. Vertical bust darts mean the front is shaped rather than flat, so it holds its line on a fuller bust instead of tenting. Rayon hangs heavier and closer than cotton, so expect it to fall straight rather than stand away. The lined top means no slip needed underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort breakfasts, an afternoon of shopping in Lahaina, a casual wedding you're attending rather than in, and dinner out where you want to look put together without ironing anything first. Knee length reads polite enough for a restaurant and cool enough for a humid evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean. Hang to dry — never a hot dryer, which is what shrinks rayon. Warm iron on the reverse if it needs it, and untie the drawstring before washing so the waist channel doesn't bunch.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you how a dress actually hangs, not just what it's made of\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall with a fit question and a person picks up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
