Dresses for girls are the absolute pinnacle of any occasion. Children’s dresses have not changed much throughout the years. The fabrics are softer, the emphasis is more on comfort and there are definitely a wider range of colors to choose from. Like everything else, the ways little girls dress themselves have certainly changed as well. Girls are now vainer and more conscious of the way the dress fits their bodies. They also care more about how they present themselves with a dress, resulting in well behaved little princesses.
There are various styles, of course to ensure that your child is well dressed for any occasion. A bold choice of colors is the natural choice for festive occasions, while muted hues are best suited for more somber occasions. When it comes to the issue of plains versus prints, it really depends on your little girl to make that decision. Printed dresses for girls are lively and bring out your child’s very unique personality. Plain girls dresses are safer and ensure that your child is wearing a color that is universally acceptable. There are times of course, when very bold and bright colors such as hot pink or bright yellow can really make a child look healthy and flushed, but that would depend on the type of skin tone your child has.
There are three skin tones to choose from. These are cool, warm and neutral skin tones. If you’re wondering why one color seems to suit a certain child and the same color makes your child look sallow, it’s probably because the color of the dress does not match your child’s skin tone. The best way to figure out your child’s skin tone is by getting a white sheet of paper and holding it under your child’s face in natural light. If the tone reflected is yellow, she’s warm tone. If it is pink, then she’s cool toned. Neither means neutral toned. Think peaches and cream complexion for warm toned girls who look best in sunny colors. Cool toned girls are like porcelain dolls with pink flushed cheeks and look good in dainty hues. Neutral tone girls are the luckiest as they can wear any color they want without looking sallow.
When choosing the design of the dress, it goes without saying that the length of the dress plays an important part in the decision making process. Long dresses for girls that reach the ankles are for taller and often older children who know how to behave. Shorter dresses should be reserved for little girls who need to be constantly on the move to feel alive. If your child is vertically and horizontally challenged, opting for a single colored dress with a round neckline or an off shoulder style can really elongate her neck and body. Cutting the dress with a different colored sash will make her appear smaller. Children who are a little on the chubby side should never wear stripes as the detail makes them look wider than they really are.
