It's white-on-white cotton, so it photographs as a proper ceremony dress, but it's a halter with a back zip rather than a stiff formal bodice — she can move in it, and it washes. Sizes run 2 through 14, so a flower girl and her older sister can wear the same dress in the same print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — White on white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — halter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire, with a white sash and tie sewn in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kole Kole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes here are girls' sizes, not ages, though they track closely for most children. The empire waist sits high under the chest and the skirt falls away from there, which means there's more forgiveness in the body than a fitted-waist dress gives you — a size 5 will still work on a child who's grown a little by the ceremony date. The sash is sewn in and ties at the back, so you can snug the waist without any pinning. If she's between sizes, take the larger one; the halter and sash let you take up the slack, but you can't add length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote the gap in our stocked run: we have 2, 3, 4, 5 and then 12, 14. There's no 6 through 10 in this dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower girl duty at beach ceremonies, vow renewals, Easter and church, luau receptions, and family portrait sessions where everyone is in white. Cotton is the right call for an outdoor ceremony in heat — it doesn't cling the way a slick fabric does when a child is warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note on White\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are more shades of white than you'd imagine, and no two apparel manufacturers produce the same one. This dress is not likely to match a wedding gown, a shirt from another maker, or anything already hanging in your closet. Each time this print is re-made there are slight dye lot differences too. If exact white matching matters to you, buy the whole party's pieces together in one order rather than months apart — and if you're finicky about it, this isn't the dress for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic Hibiscus runs seven pieces, so you can dress the group from one print: Classic Hibiscus Men's Shirt and Men's Cotton Shorts for dad, the Classic Hibiscus Women's Camp Shirt or the Classic Hibiscus Sarong for mum, the Classic Hibiscus Boy's Cotton Shirt for her brother, and the Big Hibiscus Men's Aloha Shirt if you want a larger-scale version of the same flower. Order them together for the closest colour match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton will shrink a touch on hot settings, so keep the heat down before a wedding rather than after. Warm iron the skirt and press the sash flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom — since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching family and wedding-party sizing is our speciality, not an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll tell you which sizes we actually have in a print before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Whites differ between every manufacturer. It reads as white in photographs, but treat it as its own shade rather than a match to a gown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you have a size 8?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not in this dress.
