The smocked bodice stretches instead of pinching, so a toddler can eat, be carried and sit on the ground without the dress riding or gapping. And because the ties reconfigure, the same dress works whether your daughter wants straps on or off — which matters more at 4pm than it did at the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12 Months, 18 Months, 2, 3, 12, 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — White\/White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTies three ways\u003c\/strong\u003e — shoulder straps, halter, or strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — tie, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — cotton smocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked bodice does the sizing work here, so it forgives more than a fitted dress would. Order your child's usual size; if she's between sizes or you want a second summer out of it, take the larger one and shorten the shoulder ties. Note that the stocked run skips from size 3 to size 12 — if you need a 4 through 10, call before you order rather than guessing. Knee length on the size range means it sits mid-shin on a smaller toddler, which is fine and stops her tripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower girl duty at a beach ceremony, vow renewals, luau receptions, family portrait sessions, and Easter.

There's a men's rayon shirt and two boy's shirts including a white version for a ring bearer, plus a women's wedding white dress, a long white sundress, an elegant column dress and a girl's princess flare wedding white if you have two daughters and one wants a fuller skirt. Order the group at the same time so the whites come off the same fabric run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Rayon should never go in a hot dryer — that's where shrinkage happens. The smocking recovers on its own as it dries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe stock matching prints across men's, women's, boys' and girls' for whole wedding parties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you which sizes are actually stocked before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
