There is no zip, no buttons and nothing to fasten behind your back. The entire back panel is smocked elastic, so it stretches to your ribcage and stays there — which is why it works for women who fall between sizes and for anyone whose measurements shift through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large, X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — pull-over, empire waist, fully smocked elastic back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — wide strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — gather stitch down the centre front, giving a smooth pleated effect when worn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e — handmade in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC, Puanani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked back is the sizing story here. It stretches, so the fit forgives a fair range through the back and ribs — but the front bodice and the shoulder straps do not stretch, so judge your size on your bust and shoulders rather than your waist. The empire seam sits high, just under the bust, and the skirt falls away from there instead of following your hips. If you're carrying weight around the middle, that's the cut that works. Knee length means true knee on an average height; on a taller frame it will sit just above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm afternoons when you'll be on your feet, casual restaurant dinners, a lu'au you're attending rather than hosting, and travel days where you want one thing that goes over your head and works from morning to evening. Wide straps mean an ordinary bra stays covered — no strapless required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayon: cold wash or dry clean, hang 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 tell you how a garment actually fits before you buy, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA person answers the phone and can talk you through sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Which one?\u003c\/strong\u003e Go by your bust and shoulder width, since the front bodice and straps don't stretch. The smocked back will take up the difference through the ribs either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear a regular bra with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
