The ties sit at the back, so you set the waist where you want it — snug for dinner, loosened off for a long afternoon. It has real side seam pockets, 15-inch slits so you can take a proper stride, and elastic across the underarms that keeps the sleeveless cut from gaping when you reach. That combination is why customers come back for a second colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Navy Blue, Olive-Sage, Red\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\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, with adjustable back ties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — button front, 10 genuine bamboo buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBust\u003c\/strong\u003e — ruched, with elastic stretch underarms\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis dress runs small for some people.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are between sizes, or if you carry width through the bust or hip, take the larger size — the ties will bring the waist back in, but you cannot add fabric across the ribcage. Check our sizing info against a dress you already own before ordering. The empire seam sits high, just under the bust, so the skirt falls away from the stomach rather than following it. Rayon drapes close and heavy, not stiff. Ankle length means ankle length: if you are under about 5'3\", expect it to brush the top of your foot, which is how most customers wear it with flat sandals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, lu'au evenings, cruise nights when a maxi is easier than deciding on separates, and hot travel days where you want one garment and pockets. The back ties make it work through a long day — you can loosen them after a meal without changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean. Hang to dry and iron warm if needed.

It runs small, and the adjustable back ties let you take in a size that's slightly generous — they can't let out one that's tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the ties actually hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. They fasten at the back and you set the position yourself, so you can wear it fitted or nearly loose on the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the pockets deep enough to use?\u003c\/strong\u003e They're in the side seam and take a phone and keys without pulling the drape out of shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it be too long for a shorter frame?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's cut to the ankle, so on a shorter frame it sits right at the foot. Flat sandals rather than a heel is the usual fix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradise Found","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Small","offer_id":59771539226910,"sku":"MS190B-196-BLACK-S","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Medium","offer_id":59771539259678,"sku":"MS190B-196-BLACK-M","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Large","offer_id":59771539292446,"sku":"MS190B-196-BLACK-L","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy Blue \/ X-Small","offer_id":59771539325214,"sku":"MS190B-196-NAVY-BLUE-XS","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy Blue \/ Small","offer_id":59771539357982,"sku":"MS190B-196-NAVY-BLUE-S","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy Blue \/ Medium","offer_id":59771539390750,"sku":"MS190B-196-NAVY-BLUE-M","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy Blue \/ X-Large","offer_id":59771539423518,"sku":"MS190B-196-NAVY-BLUE-XL","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Olive-Sage \/ Small","offer_id":59771539456286,"sku":"MS190B-196-OLIVE-SAGE-S","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Olive-Sage \/ Medium","offer_id":59771539489054,"sku":"MS190B-196-OLIVE-SAGE-M","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Olive-Sage \/ Large","offer_id":59771539521822,"sku":"MS190B-196-OLIVE-SAGE-L","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red \/ X-Small","offer_id":59771539554590,"sku":"MS190B-196-RED-XS","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red \/ Small","offer_id":59771539587358,"sku":"MS190B-196-RED-S","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/8608\/2334\/files\/lau-lau-button-front-long-tank-109.jpg?v=1786842929","url":"https:\/\/mauishirts.com\/products\/lau-lau-paradise-found-button-front-long-tank-dress","provider":"MauiShirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
