The ties move: shoulder straps for walking around town, tied up as a halter for dinner, or dropped off entirely and worn strapless at the pool. Same dress, three looks, one spot in the suitcase. The smocked bodice is what makes it work — it stretches to hold without a zip, so you pull it on and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Small, Medium, Large, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Aqua, Black, Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — smocked bodice with tie closure, no zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear it\u003c\/strong\u003e — shoulder straps, halter, or strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmocking gives you a range rather than a single number, so this is a forgiving dress — most people land inside their usual size. If you're between sizes, take the smaller one; the smocked panel needs a little tension to stay up, and too much room is what makes a tube dress slide. Fuller busts should plan on tying it as a halter for the extra support. Knee length sits close to the knee on average height and a touch below on shorter frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a swimsuit between the beach and lunch, casual resort dinners, hot errand days when nothing with a waistband is tolerable, and travel days where you want one dress that covers day and evening. Cream reads dressiest of the three; black is the one customers pack for dinners out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, gentle cycle, hang or dry flat. Smocking loses some of its stretch in a hot dryer, so keep it out of high heat. Cotton may relax slightly with wear and tighten back up after washing — that's normal.\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 garment actually fits before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
