The back zipper opens wide enough to step a squirming toddler into it without a fight, the elastic shoulder straps give when she wriggles, and the flare skirt has enough room to crawl, climb and sit cross-legged on a beach mat. It's a poly-cotton blend rather than a delicate fabric, which means it goes in the wash with everything else after the shave ice incident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e — 24 Months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic shoulder straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkirt\u003c\/strong\u003e — flare cut with contrasting ruffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kole Kole, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 24 Months size, so it suits a toddler who has outgrown 18-month clothing but isn't yet in a 2T. The elastic straps take up a little slack across the shoulders, which buys you a few extra weeks of wear as she grows. The skirt flares away from the body from the waist down, so a fuller-bodied toddler or one still in a nappy won't be pulling at it. If she is tall for her age, expect the hem to sit higher on the leg — it reads as a short flare dress rather than a long one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLu'aus, family portraits on the beach, first-birthday parties, Easter and cruise-ship dinner nights. It also works as an everyday sundress once the special occasion is over, which is how most of our customers end up using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cool and tumble low. The polyester content keeps it from wrinkling in a suitcase and stops the shape sagging after repeated washes — a straight cotton toddler dress won't hold up as well. Zip it closed before washing so the teeth don't catch other garments.\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'll tell you honestly whether a size will still fit by the date of your event\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal answers on kids' sizing before you order, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

The elastic straps and flare skirt give it more tolerance than a fitted dress. If she's already in 2T clothing comfortably, this will be snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the zipper hard to manage with a wriggler?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — it's a single back zip that opens the bodice right up, so you're stepping her in rather than pulling it over her head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan she wear it in the water?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's not a swim garment, but the poly-cotton blend dries far faster than pure cotton if it gets splashed at the shoreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need ironing before a photo shoot?\u003c\/strong\u003e Rarely.
