The bodice is fitted and the skirt is free, so it reads dressed-up standing still and still lets you sit down to dinner. The straps adjust, which matters if you're short through the torso or long-waisted — most empire dresses give you no say in where the seam lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, fitted through the upper body, flared skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\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 — Paradise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead this as a fitted dress, not a loose one. It sits close through the bust and ribcage and the high waist seam is meant to be snug — that's what creates the shape. The princess seams give it some give front and back, but there is no stretch in rayon, so if you're generous through the bust and want breathing room, go up rather than down. Below the empire seam the skirt flares away from the body and skims the hips, so hip measurement is rarely the deciding factor. Adjust the straps to bring the waist seam to the narrowest part of your ribcage; too low and the shaping disappears. Mini length, so check the hem against your own height before you commit to it for a formal event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, cocktail hour before a luau, a night out on Front Street, or a bridal shower where the bride wants everyone in something light. It also works well as a cover-up over a swimsuit if you're going straight from the beach to lunch — the zipper means you can get it on and off without wrestling.\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 how rayon shrinks and never comes back. Warm iron on the reverse if the skirt needs settling after packing.\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 when a garment runs fitted, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions get answered by someone who has handled the dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
