{"product_id":"paradise-banana-rayon-hawaiian-aloha-sarong-dress","title":"Paradise Banana Smocked Back Sarong","description":"\u003ch2\u003eParadise Banana Smocked Back Sarong — the dress that fits a range of bodies without alteration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuy this one when you want a dress you can pull on for dinner without worrying whether it will fit the same as it did last summer. The whole back panel is smocked and stretchable from the waist to the shoulder blades, so it gives across the ribcage and the bust instead of gapping or straining. The shoulder straps each have two buttonholes, which means you can shorten them for a shorter torso or let them out for a longer one. Customers with a longer rise or a fuller bust tend to find this style easier than a fixed-strap dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Small, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue, Olive\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 stretch panel from waist to shoulder blades, matching-colour zip from mid-back down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable, two buttons on each strap; they cover bra straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHem detail\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3¼\" centre back slit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, handmade in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Paradise Found\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that Medium is not stocked in this style — the run is Small, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large. If you normally take a Medium, go to the Large; the smocked back takes up the slack and you will not swim in it. Rayon drapes close to the body rather than standing away from it, so if you are between sizes and want a looser line through the hip, take the larger size. The hem sits above the knee, so if you are tall, expect it shorter on you than on the hanger photo. Set the strap buttons on the shorter hole first, wear it, then let them out if the bralette front sits low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResort dinners, a lu'au where you'll be sitting on the ground and then standing to dance, sunset cruises, and hot-weather travel where you want one dress that goes from the pool bar to a restaurant with a change of sandals. The back zip and stretch panel make it easy to get on and off in a small hotel bathroom, which sounds trivial until you've tried a back-lacing dress at 6pm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash by hand or on a gentle cycle, or dry clean. Hang to dry — never a hot dryer, which is what shrinks rayon. Warm iron on the reverse, and keep the iron off the smocked panel so the elastic threads don't lose their stretch.\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\u003eWe tell you which sizes are actually stocked, including the gaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus sizes carried in the same styles, not as an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
