The smocked bodice stretches, so it stays comfortable through a long afternoon, and the ties can be worn over the shoulders, crossed as a halter, or dropped entirely for strapless. That means the same dress works for a formal beach ceremony and for a Saturday at the park, and it keeps fitting as she grows through a size.\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 — Pink, Purple\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\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — tie closure, no zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBodice\u003c\/strong\u003e — cotton smocked, stretches to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHem\u003c\/strong\u003e — ruffle bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake her usual size. The smocked bodice does the work here — it gives across the chest and back, so there's no fussing with a zip and no hard cut-off point when she grows. Girls at the top end of a size are usually fine staying put rather than sizing up. Knee length on a size 4 or 5 sits just above the knee on a taller child, which is worth knowing if you want it longer for photographs. If she doesn't like straps touching her shoulders, tie it as a halter instead; it holds securely either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower girl duties at a beach ceremony, luau dinners, Easter and family photo sessions, and the school hula performance. Strapless for hot days, shoulder ties for anywhere she'll be running around and you want it staying put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Melodic Tendril Floral Women's Tea Length Dress comes in the same print, so mother and daughter can match.

Keep it out of a hot dryer — that's what shrinks rayon. The smocking will relax back into shape as it hangs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe stock matching mother-and-daughter prints, not just single pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us a sizing question before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
