The entire back panel — waist up to the shoulder blades — is smocked and stretches, so the bodice pulls in to you rather than the other way round. The shoulder straps each carry two buttonholes, which means you can shorten them for a shorter torso or let them out if the bralette front is sitting too high. Customers who normally need alterations don't need them here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Blue, Sage\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\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — bralette-style front, smocked stretch back from waist to shoulder blades\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\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — matching-colour zip, mid-back to lower back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — full dress with a 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\u003eTake your usual size. The smocked back does the accommodating, so the fit forgives a bust that's a size off the waist — the place most sarong dresses fail. Rayon has almost no give of its own, which is why that stretch panel matters; go up a size rather than down if your hips are the wider measurement, because the wrap-tie front skims rather than stretches. Short-waisted? Button the straps up on the inner holes before you decide anything about the size. And note the hem sits above the knee on an average frame, so if you're tall it will read shorter still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner on a resort lanai, a lu'au where you'll be sitting cross-legged on mats, sunset cruises, and the walk from beach to restaurant when you don't want to change. The zip and straps make it dressier than a pull-on sundress, so it holds up at an evening rehearsal dinner or a friend's beach ceremony where you're a guest rather than in the party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Never put rayon in a hot dryer — that's where the length goes. Press around the smocked panel rather than flattening it, or you'll take the stretch out of it.\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 describe construction properly: closures, straps, hem length, slit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing questions answered before you order, by someone who has the dress in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Which size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Large. The smocked back takes up the slack at the waist far better than a fixed bodice takes up slack at the bust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow short is above the knee?\u003c\/strong\u003e Above the knee on an average height, shorter on a tall frame. The back slit is only 3¼\", so it's for walking room, not for extra leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the smocking stay stretchy?\u003c\/strong\u003e It does if you keep it out of the hot dryer and don't iron the panel flat.
