Step in, pull the back zip, done — no belt to fuss with, no wrap to retie halfway through dinner. The bias cut is what does the work: it falls on the diagonal of the fabric, so it follows your shape without gripping it. That's why regulars describe it as slimming rather than tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — A-line, cut straight, bust darted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — round neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — 15½\" back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint placement\u003c\/strong\u003e — border print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Puanani, handmade in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A-line is cut straight rather than flared, so it skims from the bust down instead of sitting on the waist. Bust darts give shape up top, which means the fit at the chest matters more than the fit at the hip — if you're fuller through the bust, go up rather than trying to stretch a smaller size across the darts. Rayon on the bias drapes closer to the body than a woven cotton dress of the same measurement, so it reads sleeker without adding pressure anywhere. The back zip runs 15½ inches; you can reach it yourself, though it's easier with a hand. Email or call us with your bust and waist before ordering and we'll pull the tape across the actual garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner reservations on holiday, a lu'au where you don't want to be in a shapeless shift, cruise nights, a daughter's beach ceremony where you're a guest rather than the bride, and the flight home when you want one thing that doesn't need a second layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon does not like heat. Hand wash cold with a mild soap and line dry, or machine wash cold on gentle. Cool iron only — never a hot dryer, hot water or bleach. Treated that way the drape stays exactly as it arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling Hawaiian apparel from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe measure the garment in hand and tell you what it actually is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you buy, not after it arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Most customers find it more forgiving than a straight-grain dress in the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I zip it by myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. It's a 15½\" back zip, well within reach, though a second pair of hands is quicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich measurement should I go by?\u003c\/strong\u003e Your bust. The dress is darted at the chest and falls loose below, so the bust is the fit point that decides the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put it in the dryer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Don't. Rayon shrinks and loses its drape in heat. Line dry and press with a cool iron.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MauiShirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59772185968926,"sku":"147O-090","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/8608\/2334\/files\/windy-wonderland-a-line-sundress-puanani-label-100-rayon-aloha-style-105.jpg?v=1786844319","url":"https:\/\/mauishirts.com\/products\/windy-wonderland-puanani-label-dress","provider":"MauiShirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
