The back is elasticated, so there's real tolerance in the fit — a dress that's slightly big in March still looks intentional, and it still fits at Christmas. Grandmothers ordering from the mainland for a Maui visit are our most common buyer on this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, and 6X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Green, Pink, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic, no zip to fight with\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist with ribbon tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e — in Hawaii · Kole Kole label, RJC brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes run by child's age as a starting point, and the elastic back gives you room either side of that. If your daughter is between sizes or growing fast, take the larger one — the empire waist sits high on the ribcage rather than at the natural waist, so extra length reads as a longer dress instead of a bad fit. Note the size jump: we stock 7 and then 10, with no 8 or 9 in this style. For a child sized 8 or 9, most customers go to the 10 and let the ribbon and elastic take up the slack. The 6X-Large is a separate small-girls' sizing convention and is not the largest size here — 12 is. Ask us if you're unsure which you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEaster services, spring family photos, a first lu'au, flower girl duty at an informal beach ceremony, and school aloha days. The polyester content is the practical part: it comes out of a suitcase without pressing, so it can be the dress that travels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold and tumble low. The poly-cotton blend resists creasing and holds its colour through repeated washing, which matters on a dress a child will wear hard. A cool iron on the ribbon if it goes flat.\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 tell you when a size run has gaps, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren's sizing questions answered by a person, not a chart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
