The bust is ruched, the waist is darted front and back, and the empire seam sits high — so it reads fitted rather than loose, and it does not need a belt or a shrug to look finished. Adjustable spaghetti straps mean you set the bodice height once and forget about it. Currently stocked in X-Large, Cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, darted front and back, form fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — ruched bust line, adjustable spaghetti straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% poplin cotton, handmade in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pacific Legend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForm fitting, and we mean it — the front and back waist darts take the fabric in, so this is not a dress you can size into or out of much once it's on. The back zipper is the fixed point: get the bust and rib cage right and the rest follows. Ruching across the bust gives a little give there, but the waist does not stretch. Cotton poplin is crisp rather than clingy, so it stands slightly away from the hip instead of following it. Straps adjust, which lets a longer torso set the empire seam where it belongs instead of riding high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, a friend's beach ceremony where you're a guest and not the bride, condo happy hours, the walk from the pool to a restaurant. Above-the-knee length keeps it easy on stairs and in a golf cart. It's also a matching-print style, so it works if the men in your group are wearing the same pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold on gentle or delicate with a mild soap. Line dry, cool iron. No hot water, no hot dryer, no bleach — hot water is what shrinks poplin and puts the waist darts out of true.\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 dress is cut fitted, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Hawaii, and every panel of print falls differently — no two are identical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
