This one solves both with two button holes on each back strap, so you set the strap length yourself and the empire waist moves up or down with it. Customers who are long through the torso, or short, tend to buy this one over a fixed-strap halter for exactly that reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large, 3X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Beige, Beige Plus, Red, Red Plus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — criss cross back, two button holes on each strap for adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire seam, sits above the natural waist\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 — Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit is driven by the bust and the strap setting, not the waist — the empire seam releases into a skirt that skims rather than clings, so hips are rarely the deciding factor. Take your usual dress size. Rayon has almost no stretch, so if you're full through the bust and between sizes, go up; a halter with a tight bust reads wrong no matter how you set the straps. Plus sizes are cut on the same pattern in Beige and Red, so a 2X and a Large in the same colour will look like the same dress side by side. Set the straps on the shorter button hole for a higher, closer empire line; the longer hole drops the seam and adds a little length overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners where you want bare shoulders, second-day wedding events, cruise formal nights, and Maui afternoons hot enough that sleeves are out of the question. The Red works for anniversaries and holiday parties; the Beige is the one brides' mothers and guests reach for at a beach ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash by hand or on a gentle cycle, or dry clean. Hang to dry — never a hot dryer, which is what shrinks rayon. Warm iron on the reverse if the skirt needs it, and undo the straps first so you're not pressing over buttons.\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\u003eFull size run XS through 3X in both colours, plus sizes included rather than an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll talk through fit with you before you order, not after it arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
