Date: Saturday October 30, 2010Posted in: Family
What little lady doesn’t spend time watching mom get ready for a fancy night out in front of the mirror longing to try on lipstick and giggling when mom finally relents and brushes a little blush across the tip of her nose? If this sounds like your little princess, chances are she loves to get dressed up and would light up with a huge smile if she were to receive a new fancy dress for her next special outing whether it be a family function or a special father-daughter lunch. The following paragraphs contain some information that may help you shop for toddler party dresses for your precious little lady.
## What Styles Are Appropriate For Little Girls
It is a sad fact that in this day and age children grow up way too fast. We see it with both little boys and little girls but there is something extra striking and profound about a little girl who is dressed far too old for her age. When choosing toddler party dresses, it is recommended that you stay away from the racks of girls designer dresses that are styled or designed after dresses that were originally meant for much older girls and women. She’ll enter the years when she insists on dressing provocatively in no time…keep her your innocent little lady as long as you can!
## What Colors Should My Little Girl Wear?
Does your little lady have a favorite color that she absolutely can’t get enough of? Whether it’s pink, purple, blue, green or yellow, you’ll definitely be able to find several toddler party dresses in that special color for your little sweetie. Are there any colors you should definitely shy away from? While there are no hard and fast rules, the general feeling is that perhaps black is not an ideal color for a little girl. Black is dark and that really is the antithesis of what your toddler brings to your life, non? When she’s a surly teen, that’s the time for her to wear black, and oh she will! If the dress is for an occasion that calls for a more muted color, why not dress it up a little with a brightly colored sash and bow or a pretty colored tulle crinoline?
## What Prints and Fabrics are Most Appropriate For Little Girls?
When it comes to fabric, certainly it is necessary to consider washability and care instructions but there are also a myriad of prints, finishes and weights to take into consideration. Here’s a little advice with respect to fabric:
-Little girls who love to dress up most likely also have a love for flowers. Flower prints are a great choice for toddler party dresses.
-A nice crisp cotton is a great choice because it will wash well;
-In the summer, choose light and breathable fabric;
-Come Winter, you’ll want to make sure that she’s warm enough so it’s advised to opt for a heavier fabric when choosing childrens Christmas dresses for example.
-There really is nothing more darling than a toddler in a dress with a thick and colorful sash or ribbon wrapped around her waist tied with a big bow in the back. A sash or bow is also a great way to bring some color to a toddler party dress and it can be interchanged with ribbons in other colors, bringing a new look each time!
-As a pattern for a toddler, stripes are always fresh and fun;
-Polka dots are a perennial child favorite;
-Finally, every little girl who loves a party dress loves a big skirt even more. A tulle crinoline or underlay will give any skirt with width a bell shape worthy of any princess, Disney or otherwise.
## Choosing The Right Dress For The Right Occasion
When it comes to dressing your little lady, it’s important that you take into consideration the occasion that she is being dressed for. Is she going to an outdoor garden birthday party or is she accompanying the family to a formal wedding? Here, fabrics play an important role and so does fit, Choose a lighter-weight fabric with an easy loose fit for example if she’s been invited to the aforementioned garden birthday party. The dress should also be comfortable and fit in such way as to allow her to jump and run and play games with her little friends.
Now that you have a few guidelines and a few shopping tips in your arsenal, grab the pudgy little hand of your precious little toddler and shop until you find the party dress that makes her squeal with delight! She’ll never want to take it off!
