Finding Girls Party Dresses

By Jack Birsy


Many Internet sites and retail stores sell children's party dresses. If you are willing to spend a little more, you can enjoy better quality and designer names. Options for girls party dresses vary depending on the age of the girl you are buying for.

## Dresses for Babies and Toddlers

During the holidays and on special occasions, even infants and toddlers can be dressed to the nines. The cut of most infant special occasion dresses are empire-waist to accommodate a diaper. Occasionally you can find A-line and shift styles in toddler dresses, but not often. Fabrics are usually velvet and satin, with embellishments such as rosettes and bows.

## Young Girls

Older girls have more options than babies and toddlers. Styles vary from shifts to fit-and flare cuts, and with lovely, feminine embellishments. More fabrics are available in this range as well, with jersey, chiffon, taffeta, and silk added to the collection. The styles and fabrics will vary by season. If the dress is for a cruise or travel to a different climate, look for shops that sell seasonal styles year-round.

Some stores selling dresses in this size range mimic the styles for younger girls, so parents have an opportunity to buy matching "sister" dresses. The ability to buy complimentary girls dresses and toddler dresses is a great option for weddings or family portraits.

## Teens and Tweens

As girls move into their teens, the phrase children's party dresses may sound childish, but the styles for this age become more sophisticated. You will likely find the largest selection in the 7-16 year-old range. The designs young ladies have to choose from resemble dresses they might see on their favourite stars or in runway shows, but with appropriately modest cuts. The embellishments are less frilly and more elegant in this size range.

## Where To Look For Girls Party Dresses?

Young celebrities are wearing party dresses to attend award shows or movie premiers. You may also find them wearing beautiful party dresses on promotional photographs. Young royals such as Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are often photographed in sophisticated party dresses. Bride magazine is also a great place to look for girls party dresses, such as flower girl dresses or bridesmaids dresses.
