Why Should I Buy Quality Children's Partywear?

By Kris Davis


Clothing is a necessary expense for girls. There are a variety of different qualities available, from low-end discount to high-end formal and designer childrens partywear. Because girls grow quickly, an outfit can only be worn anywhere between a few months to about a year before it will need to be replaced. Children can also be hard on their clothes, because they generally are more active than adults. Parents also tend to choose clothing items that are machine-washable, and therefore easier to clean. With all these considerations in mind, is there ever an appropriate time to purchase a higher quality designer girls dresses? And is there a way to justify the additional cost?

The answer to both questions is YES, absolutely! While it is true that most young girls will not wear designer girls dresses on an everyday basis, there are definitely occasions for which it is necessary to invest in high quality dresses for girls 7 16. Formal birthday parties, school dances, weddings, holiday parties, anniversary parties, bat mitzvahs, and quinceaneras are all occasions that call for more formal wear. When you also include occasional evenings of fine dining and visits to the theater or ballet, it becomes readily apparent that little girls actually have many occasions to wear formal party dresses. Adding one or more formal dresses to your daughter's closet just makes sense.

## But My Daughter Loves to Run and Play...Won't She Ruin The Dress?

There is a change in how a little girl acts when she puts on formal partywear. They carry themselves a little more slowly, and are less likely to behave wildly when wearing a fancy dress. Many young girls become increasingly aware of their movements, and are usually more careful of their motions because they really want to keep their party dress beautiful. However, for those who have concerns about how your little girl will act, speak with her about your expectations before the event. Say to her what a special day this is and how lucky she is to put on such a beautiful dress. You may want to include her on the decision when it comes to selecting the dress. If she is excited about wearing the dress, she'll be more prone to treat it with extra care.

## My Little Girl Grows So Quickly! Won't She Outgrow the Dress Before She Can Wear It Again?

Girls can go through growth spurts at anytime while they are kids, at times it may seem like they are growing right before your eyes. That dress you purchased 6 months ago suddenly no longer fits. If your daughter seems to be growing quickly, consider buying a dress a size or two larger, and then having it taken in or hemmed by a professional tailor. This will lengthen the life of the dress and give her a chance to wear it for 2 or 3 years instead of just a few times.

## How About Keeping The Dress Clean?

Most quality party dresses require professional cleaning, however if you have never used a cleaning service you might be surprised at just how affordable they really are. Generally it costs only a few dollars to clean a single piece of clothing. To bring that price down even further, coupons for dry cleaning providers are commonly available in most major cities. Look for them in mailing circulars, within your local paper, or in regional coupon books. Dry cleaners also take excellent care to clean the item in a manner that does not wear out the fabric. Because of this, dry-cleaned items tend to last longer than machine washed items.

## I'm Worried About The Style Of The Dress. Won't Today's Fashions Look Dated In A Few Years?

Like adult clothing, there are certain styles for children that are always in vogue. If you would like her dress to last for a few years, go for a traditional style. Girls always look beautiful in dresses with ribbon sashes and flared skirts. Darker tones like navy and burgundy are almost always suitable for winter and pastel colors are perennial favorites for spring and summer. Just like their adult counterparts, when it comes to dresses for girls 7 16 you'll never go wrong with a little black dress!

## I've Never Looked For An Upscale Dress Before. Where Do I Go?

Often, when an elegant occasion comes up, most parents will simply go to the mall with their daughters and pluck something from the rack at the shop. The problem is, many parents likewise have this same plan, and the odds are good that another girl will be wearing the very same dress she is. If you would like your daughter's dress to be unique among her friends, a much better alternative is to purchase the dress online or at a finer department store like Nieman Marcus. You'll find a dress that is stylish yet distinctive, and your daughter will feel like the princess that she genuinely is.

Just like buying formalwear for an adult, buying childrens partywear is an investment. You want to take time to select a piece that both of you are happy about. Remember that this one dress may cost more than an average article of clothing, but in the long run your daughter can actually find many occasions to wear her high quality dress. With careful care, one piece of childrens partywear can last for a few years of use.
