The smocked cotton top stretches over the shoulders with no zip and no buttons to fight with, and the ties move: shoulder straps for church or a restaurant, halter for a photo, strapless for the pool deck. One dress covers a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 6X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic smocked bodice, ties, pull-on (no zip)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTies\u003c\/strong\u003e — wear as shoulder straps, halter, or strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked bodice does the fitting work, so this dress covers more than one size comfortably — a size 4 will still tie up on a girl who has grown into a 5. That elasticity is why it's a good buy for a growing child, and why we suggest taking her usual size rather than sizing up. Knee length on a size 2 or 3 sits closer to mid-shin; on a 6 it lands where you'd expect. Cotton, so allow for a little shrinkage on a hot wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily photos on the beach, luau dinners, flower girl duties at an informal ceremony, Easter and birthday parties, and the plain hot afternoons in between when nothing with a waistband will do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble low or hang to dry.
