The smocked tube top stretches across a 31-45 inch bust, so it fits a range of bodies rather than one, and the spaghetti straps tie three ways: over the shoulders for daytime, crossed behind the neck as a halter, or tucked away entirely so the top goes strapless under a jacket. Women buy it as the dress that covers the beach, the dinner and the flight home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — one size fits most, 31-45\" bust across the smocked panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLengths\u003c\/strong\u003e — mid length 36\", ankle length 45\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic smocked tube, no zip or hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable spaghetti straps; shoulder tie, halter tie, or strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocking does the work. Anywhere between a 31\" and 45\" bust, the elastic panel closes the gap and holds without a band digging in. Length is the decision that actually matters: 36 inches sits above the knee on most women and reads short on anyone under about 5'3\"; the 45 inch version lands at the ankle. If you're tall and want a short dress, take the 36\". If you're petite and want short, the 36\" will be shorter on you than the photo suggests. Rayon has almost no stretch below the smocked top, so it skims rather than clings through the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort mornings over a swimsuit, lu'au evenings, sunset dinners where you want bare shoulders, and long travel days when you want one garment that doesn't need a bra strap plan. The strapless option is the reason it also works under a light cardigan when the trade winds come up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold hand wash or gentle cycle, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks it, and the smocked elastic doesn't like it either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe publish the actual bust range on one-size pieces instead of leaving you to guess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Below or above that range, the smocking either gaps or stops stretching comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich length should I order?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid length is 36 inches, ankle length is 45 inches — a nine inch difference. Shorter frames should assume the 36\" will sit higher than pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear it strapless?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
