The smocked mid-section grips, the straps come off, and the halter tie means you can change the neckline instead of changing the outfit — strapless for a dinner, tied at the neck for a boat day, straps up when you want your shoulders covered. It's the dress our customers buy when they don't want to think about a bra strap showing all week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Medium, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — wrap-around stretch smocked mid-section, no zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — spaghetti shoulder straps; also wears as a tie halter or fully strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — long sun dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Navy Blue, Orange\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\u003eThe smocked panel is the whole sizing story — it stretches, so a single size covers more of a range than a woven bodice would. Go by where you land through the bust and ribcage, not by the number you wear in a zipped dress. Because we stock XS, Medium and XL only, pick the nearest and let the smocking do the rest: if you're between XS and Medium, take the Medium, since smocking that's stretched to its limit sits high and rides up. Rayon falls straight and close rather than standing away from the body, and the length runs long — if you're under about 5'4\", expect it to touch the ground barefoot and plan on a low heel or a shortening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners on the beach where you walked there in sandals. Catamaran afternoons. A guest dress for a casual beach ceremony when you don't want to be the one in a structured gown. It also works as a cover-up over a swimsuit — pull it on wet-haired, tie the halter, walk to lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash by hand or on a gentle cycle, then hang to dry. Never put rayon through a hot dryer — that's what shrinks it. Press the skirt with a warm iron if it needs it and keep the iron off the smocked panel so the elastic threads stay springy.\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 cut runs long or a size runs tight, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk a fit question and a person answers it, not a chatbot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
