It goes on over the head, the V-neck does the dressing-up, and there's a pocket in the right side seam for a phone or a room key. Plus sizes are cut in the same dress, not a separate shape, so you're not choosing between fit and formality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — cut through to large plus sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — bias cut, pull-over, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline and sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e — V-neck with cap sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — one, right side in-seam\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\u003eA bias cut behaves differently from a straight-cut dress: the fabric is angled, so it follows the hip and waist instead of hanging off the shoulders like a shift. That means it skims closer than most pull-on long dresses, and it moves when you walk. If you prefer a looser line through the middle, take the larger of two sizes — the extra room falls into the drape rather than looking baggy. Cap sleeves cover the shoulder without gripping the upper arm. Because it's a long dress with no adjustable waist, height matters more than usual: if you're petite, expect it to sit at or past the ankle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWedding receptions where you're a guest rather than the bride, anniversary dinners, cruise formal nights, luau evenings that start outdoors and end indoors, and Christmas or New Year parties where you want length without a gown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it.
