The back ties let you move the waist seam up or down and pull it in as tight or as loose as you want, so a long torso and a short torso can wear the same dress and both have it sit correctly. It's ankle length with side slits, so you can actually walk in it, and there are real pockets in the side seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit note\u003c\/strong\u003e — runs small for some people; check the sizing info before choosing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — ankle length, with 15\" side slits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Red, Royal Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable ties, set to whatever tie-back position you like\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — ruched bust line, empire waist, elastic stretch underarms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — button through, 10 genuine bamboo buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — yes, side seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, handmade in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Paradise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis one runs small for some people.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are between sizes, or if you carry width through the bust or the hip, take the larger size — the back ties will take up any slack, but they cannot add fabric. The ruched bust and elastic underarms give some give across the top, so bust measurement is less of a problem than hip. The empire seam sits high, just under the bust, and the ties are what set it exactly where you want it. Ankle length means it will brush the floor on a shorter frame; if you're under about 5'3\", expect to wear a low heel or plan a hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'au dinners, cruise nights, resort restaurants, and anniversary evenings where you want something long but not fussy.
