From the new arrival to the young lady, special occasion dresses are something that every mother will shop for at some point. Whether it is a communion, wedding, anniversary, portrait sitting or other big event in their lives, little girls are thrilled to dress up and look their best.
And with designers such as Susanne Lively, Collins and Hall, Funtasia, Us Angels, Katie & Co., and Frances Johnston, the selections are endless, and will suit almost any theme, color, or just a little girl’s dreams.
Special occasion dresses often have to be special ordered, so it’s a wise Mom who starts shopping early, to avoid disappointment. Consider whether you need a special color. Are you going to match your daughter’s dress to a theme, or to your own outfit? Is there a material that you favor over another? What styles appeal to you, and the little angel who’s going to wear it? Are you going to outfit more than one young lady? Many designers provide the full range of sizes from toddler to 16, and some will even offer plus sizes.
Collins and Hall have created a delightful array of baby girl dresses that will make your little girl look like the sweetheart she is. Choose from such charming ensembles as a pink knit dress and cardigan with a cotton diaper cover, the delicately embroidered ivory knit dress and cotton diaper cover, or an exquisite velvet, pleated dress, which is embroidered at the hem, and is fully lined.
Little girls will love special occasion dresses like Susanne Lively’s sleeveless, black and white silk dress, with black embroidery, and a black velvet tie sash. Lively also outfits bright little toddlers and babies in a stunning red and white dress combining a lace bodice, and red silk skirt with layers of tulle and netting to give it fullness. And she’s designed a boys red silk shortall and ivory shirt, to go with his sister’s dress!
Young ladies will be delighted with the sophistication of a champagne dupioni silk dress, with lace overlay on the bodice, and a matching champagne tie for the waist. Or they may like the simply feminine, hand beaded satin A-line dress with matching bolero jacket.
Choosing special occasion dresses, is something you can do together. Make the day more special, by including your daughter in the shopping!
