Empire Fit Princess Flared — a fitted mini for evenings out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a going-out dress, not a beach cover-up. It sits snug across the bust and rib cage, nips in at a high empire waist, then releases into a flare that stops well above the knee. Customers buy it for evenings where they want something short and shaped rather than loose and floaty — dinner reservations, a night on Front Street, a cruise formal night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — snug through the upper body, fitted slender high waist, flared skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaming\u003c\/strong\u003e — armhole princess seams, front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper body is the deciding factor. This dress is cut to fit closely from the shoulders to just under the bust, so measure your bust and go by that rather than your usual dress size. The princess seams front and back give shape rather than room — they follow the body instead of skimming it. Below the empire seam the skirt is free and flared, so hips are not the constraint here; the bust is. Adjustable straps let you set the bodice height, which is useful if you're long or short through the torso. Zip closure means there's no stretch to fall back on, so if you're between sizes and want breathing room, take the larger one. Rayon hangs close and moves, and the skirt will swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCocktail hour, resort dinners, birthday nights out, cruise evenings, and receptions where you want something shorter than tea length. It reads dressy without needing heels, though heels do suit the mini length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it. Undo the zip before washing so it doesn't drag on the fabric.\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 where a garment is fitted and where it's loose, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
