It's a petite fit: the waist darts land where a shorter torso actually bends, and the skirt finishes short on purpose — three to five inches above the knee.

The petite drafting shortens the bodice as well as the skirt, so if you have a long torso the waist darts will sit high on you. Anyone over about 5'6\" should treat the length as a mini and decide from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm-weather lunches, resort afternoons, a casual dinner where you want a zip-back dress rather than a pull-on, and travel days when you want one piece and sandals. The square neck and fitted waist read tidier than a shift, so it holds up at a nicer restaurant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton will tighten up a little on a hot cycle, and on a dress that already runs small that's the one thing to avoid. Warm iron if you want the darts crisp.\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 flag it when a cut runs small or short, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
