The whole back panel from waist to 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. Customers who are long in the torso, or who want their bra straps hidden, buy this dress for exactly those two reasons.\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\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Coral, Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — full sarong dress with a faux wrap tie at the front, above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront\u003c\/strong\u003e — bralette top style\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 strap, cut to hide bra straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHem\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3¼\" centre slit at the back bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, handmade in Hawaii\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 a forgiving dress across the ribcage and waist — it moves with you rather than fixing you at one measurement. Take your usual size; if you're between L and XL, the stretch panel means the Large will still give. The fixed point is the strap length, and that's why there are two buttonholes on each side: longer torso, use the lower hole. The rayon drapes close and fluid rather than standing away from the body, and the front wrap tie lets you set how the skirt falls. Hem sits above the knee, so on a taller frame expect it a little higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, lu'au evenings, a cruise night ashore, or a garden ceremony where you're a guest rather than the bride. The back zip and smocking make it easy to get into on your own in a hotel room with no help and no mirror.\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, not water.\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 order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade-in-Hawaii pieces we've handled ourselves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
