That is the single most useful thing we can tell you about it. It's a genuinely fitted blouse, cut close through the bust and waist, with a high 1½\" mandarin collar that sits right at the base of the neck. Customers who take their usual size call us; customers who take the next size up wear it for years. If you're unsure, phone the showroom and we'll talk it through before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — form fitting; we strongly suggest ordering the next size up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollar\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1½\" mandarin stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eButtons\u003c\/strong\u003e — five matching fabric-covered buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHem\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5\" side slits\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\u003eSnug. This is not a relaxed aloha cut — it's shaped through the body, and rayon has no give at all, so there is nothing to stretch into. A Small here wears like a mainland X-Small on most women. Take the next size up unless you specifically want it close. The 5\" side slits let the hem sit over a waistband without pulling, and the mandarin collar means there's no open placket at the throat, so it reads more covered than a standard blouse. Only three sizes are stocked, XS through Medium, so if you're above a Medium this cut won't work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRestaurant dinners, gallery openings, office days where a printed aloha shirt would be too casual, and evenings out where you want the red to do the work. The high collar and covered buttons make it one of the few pieces here that photographs well under indoor light rather than only on a beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, iron warm. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it, and on a fitted cut you have no margin to lose.\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 fitted cuts before you buy instead of processing the return afterwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall and a person picks up to talk through sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
