The smocked top stretches across the bust and holds itself up, so there's no zip to reach, no waistband to fight, and nothing to fasten in a hotel bathroom mirror. Pull it on over a swimsuit at the beach, and it's a dinner dress two hours later. Customers who travel light tend to end up with more than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — smocked elastic bodice, pull-on tube style; stretches to suit a range of bust sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear\u003c\/strong\u003e — strapless, or with the straps up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e — hand made in Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fortune Cookie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocking does the sizing work. It pulls in flat and expands across the bust and ribcage, which is why a tube dress suits a wider range of bodies than a cut-and-sewn bodice does. Rayon has real drape, so the skirt falls close rather than standing away from the hip — if you prefer a dress that skims instead of clings, this reads best on a frame where the smocking sits above the fullest part of the bust. Because the top holds itself, strapless works; the straps are there if you'd rather have the security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo fixed size range is recorded on this style. Tell us your bust measurement and height before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether the smocking will sit where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover-up over a swimsuit, cruise deck afternoons, walking to a beachside lunch, a hot evening when nothing with a waistband is bearable. It rolls into a corner of a carry-on and weighs nothing, which makes it a habit for anyone flying to somewhere humid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine or hand wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and hang to dry. Rayon should never go into a hot dryer — heat is what shortens it and stiffens the drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of Hawaiian and island clothing, shipped from our Maui showroom since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe give you real fit guidance instead of a one-size shrug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a sizing question and a person answers it before you buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
