The smocked top stretches, the ties move — shoulder straps for the ceremony, halter for running around, strapless when it's hot — so the same dress covers the whole trip without an outfit change. It's the piece we reach for when a family is ordering matching clothes and the youngest one refuses to wear anything fussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3, 7, 6X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue, Turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e — cotton smocked, elasticated tube\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee\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 is the reason this dress forgives sizing. It stretches across the chest and back and pulls in again, so a size that's slightly big still stays up once the ties are knotted at the shoulders. If your daughter is between the sizes we stock, take the larger one and tie the straps shorter — she'll get a second season out of it. Knee length on most girls; on a taller child it sits above the knee, which is fine for the way it's cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeach ceremonies and family portrait sessions, lu'au dinners, cruise nights when the dining room is warm, and the long stretch of a resort afternoon. Strapless over a swimsuit works as a cover-up; add the shoulder ties and it's dressed enough to sit down to dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Hibiscus Fern runs eleven pieces, so a whole family can be dressed from one print. For the boys there's a shirt, cargo shorts and a two-piece set; for girls, a short tank, a puff sleeve two-piece and a smocked dress; for mum, a petite women's A-line dress. There is also a matching tropical print family clothes grouping if you want to order the set together rather than piece by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton can tighten slightly on a hot cycle, and the smocked panel holds its stretch better when it's kept out of high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years dressing families from our Maui showroom — since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep stock in one print so siblings and parents actually match\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll check sizes across the family before you order, not after\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
