Choosing a cocktail dress for a girl is not an easy task, because before buying it, you need to consider a lot of nuances. You need to take into account the features of the figure and style of your daughter, her age, eye and hair color. The most important thing is that you must take into account her opinion so that she wears her new outfit with pleasure!
Features
The styles of cocktail dresses for girls are somewhere between festive and everyday. They also look spectacular and stylish, but not as chic as a ball gown. In most cases, cocktail dresses copy adult outfits.
The upper part of the cocktail dress is usually open, without sleeves and collars. Popular models with an American armhole and a boat neckline. The skirt can be lush, tiered or even, a little fitted, but often short and with a minimal decor.
Usually cocktail dresses are sewn of satin, silk, guipure, taffeta, and can be decorated with lace, ribbons and rhinestones.
An indispensable attribute is a beautiful accessory, such as a belt. It can be thin or wide, decorated with drapery, flower or bow.
Models
There are a lot of styles and models of children's cocktail dresses, so the outfit is selected depending on the importance of the celebration, season and temperament of the girl.
You need to give preference to the model that corresponds to the age of your daughter and of course it should be as comfortable as possible and not too open. The baby still has time to walk in dresses that expose different parts of the body.
Retro
Retro style dresses are always popular. Choose a fitted dress with a full skirt just below the knees. On children, a floral print or polka dot (polka dot) looks very cute.
The combination of colors should be bright and interesting, white, yellow, red and green are perfectly combined with each other.
At the waist, in the form of a magnificent bow, you can tie a satin ribbon. The image will be complemented by a high hairstyle or hat, patent leather shoes and cute tights.
Chicago-style fringe dresses with girls look elegant.
Tatyanka
The model dress "Tatyanka" looks simple and elegant. Laconic cuts can be offset by rich finishes and luxurious fabrics.
Little girls are well suited for a skirt to the knees, a fitted silhouette and moderately fitted bodice. It can be made in the form of a corset or a regular top with a boat neckline, a V-shaped or rounded neck. Sleeves-lanterns will add romance to the image, and a ribbon to match the dress will help to emphasize the waist.
Empire
The dress in the Empire style looks interesting, spectacular, and at the same time, it is very convenient. Usually the length of this model is just above the knee. Style "Empire" suggests a high waist and flowing hem.
The decor of this model is minimal, but very often there is lace trim and elements of drapery. A brooch on the chest or a graceful flower at the waist can be used as decoration. This is one of the most successful styles of children's fashion.
Mermaid
A children's dress can also be tight-fitting, in this case the “mermaid” style is an ideal option. However, if in adult fashion it is usually long, expanding to the bottom, then this option is not very suitable for children, they may feel uncomfortable in it.
It is better if the children's mermaid dress ends in the middle of the calf or around the knee. The fitting part should end immediately under the buttocks, and then the hem should expand to the bottom. It can consist of magnificent beautiful flounces that will make the girl look like a princess.
Asymmetric
The fitted models of cocktail dresses on one shoulder look originally. Usually they are sewn from silk or satin and decorated with sweeps or ruffles. Asymmetry is now at the peak of popularity, so your baby will definitely be in trend.
Direct
Also, young ladies go fashionable direct dresses with a peplum. They add elegance to a fragile figure and help hide extra pounds to chubby girls.
A straight-cut dress helps to stretch the silhouette, and make the figure more slim. It also looks great on little girls who have not yet had a pronounced waist. After all, such a style helps to shift the emphasis down to slender legs and a beautiful skirt consisting of frills and frills.
Color
If you want your daughter to look bright and unusual, you should opt for a red cocktail dress that will not leave her unnoticed.
White dresses and their shades look very feminine and gentle on girls. A light shade emphasizes youth and fragility, the most important thing is to choose the right shade.
Dark-haired girls have a snow-white color, and cream shades are more suitable for blondes: vanilla, ivory, champagne color.
Blue color and its shades look amazing on blue-eyed blondes, and green dresses go to red-haired girls, kissed by the sun.
Pink dresses suit everyone, they emphasize youth and tenderness, create a feeling of lightness and airiness. This is a win-win option for those who can not decide on the color.
Accessories
Be sure to take care of accessories and a beautiful hairstyle. If the girl has long hair, it is better to put it in a beautiful tail or braid.
Hair above the shoulders can be left loose, complementing the hair with a ribbon or a beautiful hoop.
A small handbag or clutch is a must-have accessory for a children's cocktail dress. In it, the baby will be able to put napkins, baby lipstick and other little things she needs. Graceful beads or a small pendant can decorate the neck.
Ballet flats or neat sandals are perfect for the dress.If it’s cold outside, you can pick up cute boots or elegant boots.
