The smocked top stretches over a 31\" through 45\" bust, so it fits a range of bodies rather than one number, and the spaghetti straps tie three different ways: over the shoulders, up behind the neck as a halter, or removed entirely for strapless. Two lengths are made — mid at 36 inches and ankle at 45 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — one size fits most, 31\"–45\" bust through the smocked panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLengths\u003c\/strong\u003e — mid length 36\", ankle length 45\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic smocked tube, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable spaghetti straps; tie on the shoulders, tie halter style, or go strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocking does the work. It sits snug across the bust and releases below, so the dress reads fitted at the top and loose through the hip — forgiving if you carry weight at the middle. At the wide end of the range, 44–45\", the panel is doing all it can stretch; if you're above that it won't be comfortable and we'd rather tell you now. Height decides the length: the 36\" mid version lands around mid-calf on most women, while the 45\" ankle version needs about 5'6\" or a pair of wedges to keep it off the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrapless over a swimsuit for a beach day, straps tied up for a lu'au table, halter for a boat trip where you want the shoulders clear of a strap mark. It also travels well as a two-week-holiday dress because you're carrying one garment and getting three looks out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold water, hand wash or gentle cycle, hang to dry. Rayon loses length and body in a hot dryer, and heat is hard on elastic smocking — keep both out of it. Warm iron the skirt only; don't press the smocked panel flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of Hawaiian clothing shipped from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe publish real measurements — a bust range, not a vague \"one size\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk about fit before you buy and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Inside that range it works; outside it, it won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich length should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid at 36 inches if you're shorter or want it off the sand. Ankle at 45 inches if you're around 5'6\" and up, or wearing a heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stay up strapless?\u003c\/strong\u003e The smocked panel grips on its own, which is why the straps detach. If you're at the very top of the bust range, tie the straps as a halter for security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put it in the dryer?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Heat shortens the rayon and tires the elastic.
