While some girls are naturally into dressing up, many would prefer to wear tee shirts and jeans for every moment of their life. Whether they love dresses or don’t particularly care for them, there is a way to find the perfect dress for almost any occasion.
Body Shape
Most young girls don’t have much of a shape, but as your daughter gets older, she will start developing a chest and other areas will change, as well. Therefore, it is time to start talking with her about her particular shape and know the right dresses to select. For girls with no chest and almost square type shape, creating curves is important. Consider dresses with belts or one with shoulder pads to create the illusion of curves where there is none.
Girls with a smaller stomach than other areas should consider dresses with a tighter fit as they may work well for them.
No matter what shape you have, it is important to select a dress that looks great, is long enough to make you feel comfortable and interests you.
Color
The color of the dress you select should match your style and personal preference. Black and white dresses may be required at some point for important occasions, but most of the time, you should consider something with a little color. While many girls choose dresses based on their eye color, you could also select something that is your favorite.
Accessorize
Almost any dress can go from boring to wow in less than a minute with the right accessories. Most girls start from the bottom to the top, with shoes first. Many girls enjoy wearing a shoe that is the same color of the dress, but a different shade. You could also select bright shoes to go with dark dresses and dark shoes to go with light dresses. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets and more can also be used to brighten up an outfit.
Be Different
While it can be difficult to branch out and do your own thing when you’re in school, it is important not to follow the crowd. While you should always know what is trendy, you also need to consider what you feel comfortable wearing. If you don’t like short dresses, you won’t feel comfortable wearing them at school or at events, so you should select something longer. Play to your strengths, be mindful of what others select and be yourself.
Finding dresses for girls can be somewhat difficult, but let your daughter select the options that she feels most comfortable. Butterflies & Zebras offers many great options.
