The entire back panel from waist to shoulder blades is smocked and stretchable, so it moves with you rather than fighting you, and the shoulder straps carry two buttonholes each so you can shorten or lengthen them to your own torso. Bra straps tuck underneath and stay hidden. It's a dress you can put on in a hotel room in five minutes and wear straight through dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cream, Rust, Slate Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — full dress with faux wrap tie, bralette-style top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e — smocked tube from waist to shoulder blades, matching-colour zipper from mid-back down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable, two buttons on each strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3¼\" centre slit at the back hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, handmade in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake your usual size. The smocked back does the accommodating, which means this style forgives a size difference between your top half and your bottom half better than most dresses do. If you're between sizes, the smaller one will still stretch; the larger one will sit looser through the hip. Rayon drapes close, so the silhouette follows the body rather than standing away from it. Hem lands above the knee, so on a taller frame expect more leg than the photo suggests. Adjust the straps at the buttonholes before you decide anything about fit — most sizing complaints on smocked dresses are really strap-length complaints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, luau evenings, a wedding you're attending rather than standing up in, and the walk from the pool to a restaurant where you don't want to change twice. The rust and slate blue read well for evening; cream is the one customers pick for daytime and for photographs on the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash by hand or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's what shortens a rayon dress. Zip the back before washing so the teeth don't catch the smocking.\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\u003eSizes XS through 2X in the same dress, in every colour we list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a fit question before you buy — a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

The shoulder straps are cut to cover bra straps, and each one has two buttonholes so you can set the height where it hides them properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the back smocking tight?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's stretchable across the whole panel from waist to shoulder blades, so it grips without squeezing. That panel is why the dress works across a range of body shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow short is above the knee?\u003c\/strong\u003e Short enough that if you're tall you should expect it to sit noticeably above the kneecap.
