The bodice sits close through the ribs and bust, the seam lands high under the chest, and everything below it moves. If you like a defined waistline but don't want fabric clinging to the hips, this is the cut that does both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — snug through the upper body, empire waist set high, flared below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable at the shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\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\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\u003eFitted, not forgiving. The princess seams front and back shape the bodice to the body, so the bust and rib measurement matter more here than they would on a shift or a pull-on dress — this is the piece to check your measurements against before ordering. The adjustable straps let you set the height of the empire seam, which is useful if you have a long or short torso; raise them and the waistline sits tight under the bust, drop them and it eases down. Rayon has very little give, so if you're between sizes and the bodice is the tight part of your fit, take the larger one. The skirt is mini length and flares, so it isn't the hips that decide the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out on a warm evening, a resort bar, a birthday, a night where you want to wear something with a shape to it. The high waist and flared skirt read dressed-up without being formal, so it works for a cocktail hour and then for walking to the next place afterwards. Add a wrap for air-conditioned restaurants — the straps are bare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron on the reverse. Keep it out of a hot dryer, which is what shrinks rayon and puts a permanent set in the empire seam.\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 when a garment is cut close, so a fitted dress doesn't arrive as a surprise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us about fit before you order — a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

The flare is below the empire waist only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I adjust where the waistline sits?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, that's what the shoulder straps are for. Shortening them lifts the empire seam higher under the bust; lengthening them lets it sit lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow short is the mini length?\u003c\/strong\u003e Short — it's cut as a mini, so plan on well above the knee. Customers who want more coverage usually go for a tea length style instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wash it at home?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, cold and gentle, then hang it.
