The straps tie on, so you can wear it with spaghetti straps in the daytime, knot them behind your neck as a halter, or take them off entirely and go strapless once the sun drops. The smocked band holds it up on its own — that's the point of the construction, not a happy accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue with gold ink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e — wrap-around stretch smocked tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — tie-on spaghetti straps, or tie halter, or removed for strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e — made in Hawaii, Puanani label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked bodice stretches, so this dress covers more ground than a two-size range suggests — the X-Small will take a smaller frame and still stretch, and the Medium accommodates a range above it. Judge by bust rather than dress size: if the smocking has to work hard to close, it will ride up during the day, so take the Medium. The tube section sits above the bust and grips there; the skirt below falls loose with no waist seam to fit around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeach days where you want to walk straight off the sand into a café, resort pool afternoons, sunset dinners on a lanai, and any trip where luggage space is short. It packs down to almost nothing and the smocking shrugs off creases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, hang to dry. Keep the smocked band out of a hot dryer — heat is what kills the elastic in smocking, and once it goes slack it won't come back. Cotton this light needs little or no ironing, and never press directly over the smocked panel.\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 how a garment actually behaves on the body, not just what size it says\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a fit question before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
