This one works because the bodice ties at the back rather than pinching, the straps sit flat under a lei, and the bias-cut skirt swings out when she spins instead of binding at the knee. It zips up the back, so one adult can get her dressed without a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e — 6X-Large (girls')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — white on white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — white straps with a bodice tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkirt\u003c\/strong\u003e — full bias-cut flare\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 \/ RJC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the 6X-Large only — a girls' size, cut for the older end of the flower-girl age range. The empire seam sits high under the bust, which means the fit is decided at the shoulders and chest, not the waist; that's forgiving on a child who is growing through a size. The bodice tie takes up some slack at the back if she's narrow through the ribs. Bias-cut skirts hang longer on a slim frame than a straight-cut skirt of the same size, so allow for a little extra length. If you're unsure between this and a smaller size, call us before you order and we'll talk it through.\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, Easter and May Day programmes, and portrait sessions where the whole family is in white. Cotton is the right call for an outdoor ceremony in the sun — it breathes, and it survives being sat on in the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note On Matching White\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead this before you order. There are more shades of white than you'd believe, and no two apparel manufacturers produce the same white. This dress is unlikely to match a wedding gown, a bridesmaid's dress, or a white piece already hanging in the closet. We also re-run this print periodically and each run carries slight dye lot differences. If exact white matching matters to your party, order every piece at the same time — and if you're finicky about it, this isn't the dress for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble dry low or hang to dry, warm iron. Cotton can shrink a little on a hot cycle, so keep the water cold before the wedding, not after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years dressing wedding parties and families from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you what a garment does and doesn't do — including the white-matching problem — before you buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall with a sizing question and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Bridal white and apparel white come from different mills. Plan on a deliberate contrast rather than a match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it easy to get on a wriggling child?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — step-in or over-the-head, back zip, then tie the bodice. No buttons to fumble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan she wear it after the wedding?\u003c\/strong\u003e That's how most of our customers use it. It's cotton with a pull-through zip, so it washes and goes back on for parties and school programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I order two and they don't match exactly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Order them together, in one order, and they'll come from the same run. Ordering months apart is when dye lots drift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MauiShirts","offers":[{"title":"Size \/ 6X-Large","offer_id":59771382890782,"sku":"117S-QK-SIZE-6X","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/8608\/2334\/files\/classic-hibiscus-girl-s-empire-bow-wedding-white-cotton-dress-98_e0e0150c-e21c-4245-adf6-b9032c0022f8.jpg?v=1786842444","url":"https:\/\/mauishirts.com\/products\/girls-dress-classic-hibiscus-white-white","provider":"MauiShirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
