The straps tie over the shoulders for a family photo, cross behind the neck as a halter for a lu'au, or come off entirely and it wears strapless on a hot afternoon. The smocked back stretches, so it stays on a wriggling four-year-old without a zip to fight with. Cotton, so it washes after every day at the beach.\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\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Navy Blue, Turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — tie closure, no zip or buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTies\u003c\/strong\u003e — shoulder, halter or strapless\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\u003eOrder your child's usual size. The smocking gives real stretch across the chest and back, which is why this dress tends to fit for two seasons rather than one — it snugs in at 4 and still closes comfortably at 5. Girls' sizes run 2 through 6, with 6X-Large above that for taller or older girls. Knee length on most children; on a shorter, sturdier build it sits a little lower, which is fine since it's a tie dress and not a fitted one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeach ceremonies and vow renewals where the flower girl needs to survive two hours of standing still. Lu'au dinners, cruise-ship kids' nights, family portraits on the sand, Easter and church, and the ordinary hot days in between when it becomes the dress she asks for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print runs across three pieces: the women's Hibiscus Hawaiian Islands Smocked Dress and the Hibiscus Hawaiian Islands Smocked 2pc. Mother-and-daughter in the same print is the usual order here — buy them together and the colour matches in photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble low or line dry. Cotton will take up a little on a hot wash, and the smocking is happier out of high heat. Little to no ironing needed — the smocked panel isn't meant to be pressed flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from a Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching family orders are routine for us, not a special request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll tell you which size to take before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
