The smocked band wraps and stretches, so the same dress goes strapless for a dinner, ties as a halter for a boat day, or sits on the spaghetti straps when you want your shoulders covered. Black with red reads Christmas without a single candy cane on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Medium, Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\/Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — ankle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — wrap-around stretch smocked tube; tie-on spaghetti straps, or tie halter style, or strapless\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 — Puanani, Shannon Marie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked bodice does the sizing work — it stretches across the bust and back, so it forgives a lot more than a zip dress would. Order your usual size. If you're between XS and Medium, the Medium gives you a longer smocked run and a looser skirt; the XS holds tighter and stays up better if you plan to wear it strapless. Ankle length is cut long: under about 5'3\" you'll want a heel, or a hem taken up. Rayon falls close and skims the hip rather than standing away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristmas dinners and office parties where nobody's wearing wool, New Year's Eve, cruise evenings, and December weddings on the beach. Tie the halter and it works for a lu'au; drop the straps and it's an evening dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash by hand or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer and don't wring the smocking — squeeze the water out and let it hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you how a dress actually behaves on the body, not just S\/M\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
