The smocked top stretches to fit an enormous range of bodies, and the removable spaghetti straps mean you can tie it on the shoulders for lunch, cross it into a halter for dinner, or pull the straps out entirely and go strapless. Customers buy it for a trip and end up wearing it every second day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — one size fits most; smocked bust expands from 24\" to 52\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — 33\" from top of the dress to the bottom hem (knee length), measured without straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — spaghetti ties; wear on the shoulders, as a halter, or strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% poplin cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e — handmade in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pacific Legend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elastic smocking is what does the work here — it sits comfortably from a 24\" bust and opens up to 52\", so it covers a very wide range without a zip or a size chart. It holds itself up unaided at the smaller end of that range; if you're near the top of it, tying the straps on the shoulders gives you more security. Length is the thing to check rather than width: 33\" from top hem to bottom hem lands around the knee on an average frame, and higher on anyone tall. Because each piece is cut individually from the print, no two are laid out identically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a swimsuit on the way to and from the water, hotel breakfast, shopping in town, a lu'au where you don't want to change beforehand, and a warm evening where a strapless neckline is more comfortable than sleeves. The halter tie is the version most customers use for dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in cold water with a mild soap and line dry, or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Cool iron only. No hot water, no hot dryer, no bleach — heat is what shortens the life of the smocking.\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\u003eFlat-lay measurements published, including how far the smocking actually stretches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily matching prints are our speciality — ask us what else this print comes in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
