The back panel is smocked from the waist up to the shoulder blades, so it stretches with you through dinner. The shoulder straps adjust — two button holes on each — and they sit wide enough to cover bra straps, which is the first question women ask us about strappy dresses over the phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Red-Burgundy, Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e — stretch smocking from waist to shoulder blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — colour-matched zip, mid-back to lower back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable, two button holes each, hide bra straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — full sarong dress with a wrap-tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked back does a lot of the sizing work — it gives through the ribs and upper back, so this style is more forgiving than a fixed-back dress in the same size. The wrap-tie at the front lets you set how close it sits at the waist. Rayon falls close to the body rather than standing away from it, so if you prefer a skimming line over a fitted one, take the larger of the two sizes on offer. Note that it's cut above the knee — worth knowing before you order if you're tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, hotel lu'aus, a resort evening where you want bare shoulders without a strapless dress sliding all night, and holiday photos where you want colour. The adjustable straps make it one of the few sarong dresses you can wear with a regular bra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron. Keep it out of a hot dryer and off the smocking with a hot plate — press the skirt, steam the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of shipping Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll talk you through fit before you order, not after it arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonest listings — only the sizes and colours we actually stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

If you're between them, the Medium will read as an easier, skimming fit; the X-Small will sit closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow short is \"above the knee\"?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's cut to land above the knee, so it reads as a short dress rather than a tea length. Call us if you want it measured against your height before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the wrap-tie come undone?\u003c\/strong\u003e The front is a full dress with a wrap-tie detail and a back zip — the tie sets the waist, the zip holds the dress.
