It holds close through the bust and ribcage, then releases into a flare from just under the bust, so the skirt swings when you walk. Adjustable shoulder straps mean you set the bodice height yourself rather than living with whatever the factory decided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, snug through the upper body, 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\u003eThe bodice is the part to think about. It's cut to sit close on the upper body, with princess seams front and back doing the shaping, so it follows a bust rather than skimming past it — this is not a forgiving tube. The high waist seam lands just under the bust and everything below that is loose. If you're fuller through the chest and narrower through the hips, this cut works in your favour. Rayon has almost no stretch, so the zip and the adjustable straps are what get you the fit, not the fabric. Mini length means short: check the hem against how you plan to sit before you commit to it for a long dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset drinks, a resort dinner, a casual afternoon wedding where the dress code stops well short of formal, and hot days when you want a dress on and nothing else to think about. Flat sandals keep it easy; a low wedge lifts it for evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash gently or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron. Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's how rayon shrinks and never comes back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from a Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe describe how a garment actually sits on a body, not just what it's called\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
