The empire drawstring sits high under the bust and cinches wherever it's comfortable that day, which is why it works for a body that changes across a week, a pregnancy, or a long dinner. No zip to reach behind for, no buttons to gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with adjustable tie-front drawstring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over style, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — scoop square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully lined on top, vertical bust darts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\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 drawstring does most of the sizing work, so the waist is forgiving in both directions — pull it tight for shape or leave it easy for a loose column. The vertical bust darts mean the lined bodice holds its own form rather than sagging, which matters on a fuller bust. Rayon falls closer to the body than cotton does, so if you want it skimming rather than clinging, go with the roomier of two sizes and take up the slack at the tie. Knee length reads short on a tall frame and mid-shin-adjacent on a petite one; the empire seam sits high either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'au dinners, a resort breakfast that turns into a whole day out, baby showers, and travel where you want one dress that doesn't need a slip. It's also the dress customers reach for late in a pregnancy and again afterwards, because the tie moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if it needs it. Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's the one thing that will shrink it.\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'll talk you through fit before you order, not after it arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe say plainly when a cut runs loose or close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
