The whole back panel, waist up to the shoulder blades, is smocked and stretches with you, and each shoulder strap has two buttonholes so you can shorten or lengthen it to sit where you want. Women who are long in the torso, or who never find a bodice that stays put, tend to keep this one for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Medium, Large, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — above the knee, with a 3¼\" centre slit at the back hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e — stretch smocked tube 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, and they cover bra straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — bralette-style top with a full faux wrap tie\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\u003eThe smocked back does most of the sizing work, so this is more forgiving than a straight woven dress in the same size. Take your usual size in M, L or XL; if you're between, go up, because the front is a fitted bralette shape and the wrap tie is what shapes the waist, not extra ease. Rayon falls close to the body rather than standing away from it. The hem lands above the knee on most women — if you're 5'8\" or taller, expect it noticeably shorter than that. Set the strap buttons to the shorter hole first, wear it a minute, then let them out if the bodice pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner out after a beach day, a lu'au where you'll be sitting on the ground and standing back up, a cruise night when black is the safest thing in the case. It's also a straightforward guest dress for a casual island wedding — black, above the knee, no jacket required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold hand wash or dry clean, hang or lay flat to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep it out of a hot dryer — heat is what shrinks rayon and puckers smocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe describe how a garment actually sits on a body, not just S\/M\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order — a person picks up the phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
