Children's dresses from a baby girl to becoming a lady

Mothers of little girls are often faced with the challenge of doing their best to buy the right children's dresses for their princesses. We say challenge because it is not at all easy to find the right dress for the right occasion in the sea of models and brands of children's dresses.

If you are also worried about whether you will be able to find a comfortable and suitable model of children's dress, maybe we can help you.

Three important questions you need to answer

In what situations does a young girl need children's dress?

Decide which case the child will wear the dress. If you are looking for children's dress for everyday use, then you should focus your search on everyday models with a comfortable and practical cut that do not hinder the child's movements. If you are looking for a children's dress for special occasions, then you should pay more attention to the appearance of the dress.

What material is it made of?

If the children's dress is for everyday use, then you should look for a dress made of natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool, etc. Natural fabrics do not cause skin irritation, are breathable and absorb moisture very well. (If your choiced dress contains up to 20% synthetics in addition to natural materials, this is acceptable by European standards). If the children's clothing is for special occasions, then you can deviate a little from the requirement- 100% natural materials. This is acceptable, as children's dresses for festive occasions are worn for only a few hours and only on formal occasions. (Formal dresses are much more lavish and spectacular and are usually made of fabrics such as silk, organza, chiffon, velvet, tulle and other materials).

In what size?

There are parents who make the mistake of buying children's dresses with two or three sizes larger, because they think that the child will "grow up" quickly to fit perfectly into the dress. Don't make this mistake, because the larger size of the dress will certainly not be comfortable for the child.

If you are buying a dress for a baby, you can afford to buy him a dress at most one size larger. However, if you are buying a children's dress for an older girl, it should be in the right size.

Suitable children's dresses according to the age of the child

Children's dresses for babies

At the age of 0 to 3 years, it is difficult for little ladies to make their own choice or to tell you which dress they like and whether it is comfortable for them. That is why it is entirely up to you to choose the right type of dress for them.

Children's dresses for everyday life should first of all be made of 100% natural fabrics such as cotton, wool, linen and others, in order to be able to provide the necessary comfort and convenience to the little lady.

The suitable models are in fresh and bright color combinations, in a completely free cut, trapeze type or with a dropped waist.

The length of the everyday children's dress is shorter so that the little one can crawl or walk freely. It is not recommended to have many additional accessories on the dresses such as buttons, sequins, cords and others.

As for formal children's dresses, they follow the trends in moms' dresses. Therefore, for this type of dress, the models are much more chic and elegant and include more types of fabrics, additional accessories and shiny accessories such as beads, sequins and others.

For formal events, it is permissible for children's dresses for the youngest to be both in maximum lengths and in lengths above and below the knee.

Models usually have:

• cut waist, with “tatu” type skirts
• with richly cut multi-layered lower part (princess type)
• in a free cut

The colors are either very light (white, ecru, etc.) or in fresh, gentle tones of green, yellow, purple, raspberry, blue and others.

Children's dresses for young girls of 3 to 5 years

Little girls at this age are quite active and are constantly on the move. In addition, they already have claims about the model and color of the dresses they wear and do not always agree with their mothers when choosing the right dress.

At this age, girls usually choose their dresses only according to their appearance. Therefore, you need to calmly explain to them why the dress you have chosen is suitable for them.

The model is very suitable for both everyday and special occasions. This type of dress does not hinder the movements of the child and fits all girls extremely well.

At this age, young girls are growing up so fast and are getting aware of fashion trends. The styles of dresses they prefer are becoming more feminine, because the little ones want to look more like their mothers and dress like them.

High-waisted children's dresses are very popular among children of this age. Usually this type of dress has an upper part, which delicately follows the shapes of the body, and the lower part is either cut and falling freely, type "tatu", or with many layers of tulle.

A - image models

These models of children's dresses follow the trends in women's dresses and girls adore them. The materials from which they are made are cotton, linen and wool, as well as silk, chiffon, velvet and other more luxurious fabrics. The A-shaped models (especially the models in the style of the 60s) look great on the young, regardless of their figure and are suitable both for everyday life and for festive occasions and events.

Straight dresses

Straight models with a length just above the knee and with a spectacular collar are very good choices for school. Usually straight models of dresses are made of comfortable, soft fabrics, and their colors are pastel. Of course, these models can also be used at formal events, in which case the fabrics are more luxurious, the colors more saturated, and the decoration - richer.

Dresses for girls from 12 to 16 years

This is the age when girls have already become young ladies and are fully aware of both fashion trends and their own tastes. We do not want to disappoint you, but at this age young ladies are less likely to ask the opinion or approval of their mothers what dresses to buy.

But if you have managed to pass on to your daughter your knowledge of the combination of fabrics, colors and shapes, you do not have to worry that she will buy a dress that will not suit her or will not fit her well. Young ladies at this age have a good taste in clothing and do a great job of choosing the right dress for the occasion or holidays.

If, however, the young lady asks for your opinion, the appropriate children's dresses for this age group are:

 Straight models

They stand well and elongate the silhouette of the girls. They are suitable for everyday use and for special occasions.

Trapezoid

These models look equally good on both little and big girls. The difference is that while natural fabrics are very important in models for younger girls, synthetic or slightly more luxurious fabrics can also be used in dresses for older ladies.

Sports dresses

Many girls at this age fall in love with the sporty or casual style of dress. If your daughter also prefers to dress sportily, then sports models of dresses are very suitable for her.

With a high waist

High-waisted dresses are very suitable for special occasions. Depending on the event and the mandatory dress code, high-waisted dresses can be in both mini and maxi lengths.
