This is the dress we hand them. It's a bias flare cut with a lei neckline and a back zipper, made in infant and toddler sizes, so it goes on over a squirming child in about ten seconds and stays put through the photos. Mum can wear the matching print in one of two women's pieces, which is the part most people don't realise is possible until they ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — available in infant and toddler sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — back zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — lei neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut\u003c\/strong\u003e — bias flare, white on white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, 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\u003eBias-cut rayon has natural give and hangs away from the body rather than clinging, which is what makes it forgiving on a toddler who has changed shape since you last measured her. The flare means she can sit, crawl and be carried without the skirt binding. The back zipper does the work — you don't need to pull anything over her head or fight a row of buttons. If you're deciding between two sizes for a ceremony that's a few months out, take the larger one; the drape absorbs the extra room better than it forgives a tight fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower girl duty at a beach ceremony, ring bearer processions where the youngest gets carried down the aisle, vow renewals, christenings, and family portrait sessions on the sand. It also survives a luau reception better than a stiff formal dress, because rayon moves and breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Palm Trees White print runs across three pieces — this girl's dress plus the Palm Trees Women's White Long Sun Dress and the Palm Trees Women's Long Tank White Dress. Mother and daughter in the same print photographs well and saves you hunting for a second white that sits right next to the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA word on white\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are more shades of white than you'd believe, and no two manufacturers produce the same one. This dress is unlikely to match a wedding gown, another brand's white, or something already in your closet. Each time the print is re-made there are slight dye lot differences. Order the coordinating pieces together, in one order, and they'll come from the same run. If you're particular about matching an exact white you already own, this isn't the dress for you — we'd rather say so now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed. Keep rayon out of a hot dryer — that's where it shrinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years dressing wedding parties from our Maui showroom, keiki included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching prints across women's and girls' sizes, ordered together from one run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you what white won't match before you buy, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Whites vary by manufacturer and by dye lot. Treat it as its own white, coordinated with the matching women's pieces rather than with your gown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I get the same print for myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — there's a women's long sun dress and a women's long tank dress in Palm Trees White. Order them at the same time as the girl's dress so they come from the same fabric run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the zipper going to be a problem with a wriggly toddler?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's the opposite — a back zip is quicker than pulling a dress over a child's head, and there are no buttons to lose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I size up for a ceremony later in the year?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The bias flare hangs loose, so a slightly larger size still looks right, and children grow faster than wedding dates arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MauiShirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59771396620574,"sku":"137O-8079","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/8608\/2334\/files\/palm-trees-girl-s-bungee-strap-lei-neck-100-rayon-flare-dress-infants-toddlers-91.jpg?v=1786842497","url":"https:\/\/mauishirts.com\/products\/girls-palm-trees-white-fare-lei-dress","provider":"MauiShirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
