This one has two button holes on each side of the criss cross back straps, so you set the strap length yourself and the empire waist lands where it should. We stock it in 2X-Large in black, and it's the dress customers buy when they want bare shoulders without a strapless bodice to fight with all evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — halter, criss cross straps at the back with two button holes each side for adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, sits above the natural waist\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 — Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStocked in 2X-Large only, so there's no sizing down or up here — this is a plus size cut. The empire seam does the shaping, which means the fullness falls from just under the bust rather than pulling across the middle. Take the straps in on the tighter button hole for more lift and coverage at the chest; use the outer hole if you want the bodice to sit a little lower and the straps to sit wider on the shoulders. Cotton doesn't cling the way rayon does, so it hangs away from the body below the empire seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm-evening dinners, lu'au seating where you'll be sitting for two hours, cruise nights, and birthdays and anniversaries at home where you want something easy on and dressy. Bare shoulders and black means it takes a wrap or a light shrug well if the restaurant runs the air conditioning cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton can tighten up slightly on a hot wash, so keep the water cool and it holds its length. Warm iron on the skirt if you want the empire seam crisp.\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 stock plus sizes as their own thing, not as an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us about fit before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
