The smocked cotton top stretches, so a four-year-old can pull it on herself, and the ties can go over both shoulders, up behind the neck as a halter, or come off entirely for strapless. That means it still works after she grows an inch, and it works whether you want her covered up for a photo or cool at the beach park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3, 4, 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Green, Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — knee length\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; tie closure\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 sizing work, so this is forgiving in a way a fitted dress isn't — a size 4 will stretch to cover a slim 5-year-old and still cinch on a small 3. Go by her usual size and, if she's between, take the larger one; the ties take up the slack across the shoulders and the knee length just becomes a little longer. No zip, no buttons, nothing that digs in when she sits down in the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily photo sessions on the beach, lu'au nights when she'll be running around, cruise-ship dinners where the adults are dressed up, and the pool-to-restaurant stretch where nobody wants to change clothes twice.

Cotton can tighten a little on a hot wash, and smocking holds its stretch longer if you keep the heat down.
