The bungee-style elastic straps stretch instead of digging in, the shirred waist gives her room to eat and run, and it's cotton, so a spilled shave ice isn't a crisis. If you're dressing a family group, this is the piece to start with — the small ones are always the hardest to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — infant 6 to 24 months as a 2-piece cabana set; toddler 2T, 3T and 4T as a dress only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfant version\u003c\/strong\u003e — non-elastic empire shirring waist top with matching panty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToddler version\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic empire shirring waist with drawstring back tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic, bungee style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — self tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, handmade in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — RJC, Kole Kole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo different constructions, so pick by age first. Under two years, you get the 2-piece cabana set — top with a fixed shirred empire waist plus a matching panty, which is what you want under a dress on a crawler. From 2T up, it's the dress on its own, and the waist is elastic shirring with a drawstring tie at the back, so you can snug it in on a slim frame or let it out as she grows. That drawstring is the reason this dress often gets a second season out of it. The bungee straps stretch over the shoulders rather than sitting on a fixed length, which helps if she's long in the body. Check our sizing info before you order, and if you're between ages, go up — the shirring takes up the slack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily lu'aus, beach ceremonies where the little ones need to look the part, birthday parties, cruise dinners, and the flight over — it's soft cotton with no zips or hard buttons to press on her while she sleeps in a car seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble dry low. Cotton this light will tighten up a little on a hot wash, so keep the heat down and it holds its shape and its shirring.
