Cute Little Girl Clothes Are Everywhere

By Christi Larsen


It is easy to find cute little girl clothes. The fact is that tiny tots look good in all kinds of styles. Whether your taste is traditional or mod, you can find dresses, pants, and tops in all kinds of venues, whether you are shopping in person or online. The perfect outfit also makes a great gift, since females of all ages seem to love something new to wear.

Dresses are traditional for female children. In fact, boys used to wear gowns until the age of two or older, when they would graduate to short pants. For a boy, wearing long trousers was a sign of growing up, just as wearing long skirts was a privilege of girls ready to enter adult society. Although modern times have seen an increasing use of pants for women and for boys of all ages, dresses are still fun for a girl of any age.

If your taste is traditional, check out upscale boutiques that may carry hand-smocked dresses made in pastel fabrics with subdued checks and tiny prints. The quality of workmanship makes such clothing worth the high price tag. The internet and designer catalogs are also sources for hand-made frocks. It is true, as well, that many thrift stores get brand name clothes that shoppers might not be able to find in local retail outlets.

Remember the clothes that kids used to wear - pinafores, rompers, and seersucker sun-suits - that you can use to date family photographs? All of these styles are still around. You can find patterns for them, as well, if you want to sew for an even more personal gift. It is fun to make outfits like these, maybe one for the child and one for her doll.

Some parents prefer all-natural materials, but modern man-made fabrics have many pluses. Stretch garments are fabulously comfortable, especially for kids who are still crawling and rolling around on the floor. Nylon, rayon, and polyester are very easy to care for, wrinkle and shrink resistant, and very slow to fade. If you like the more traditional materials, consider a blend of both natural and man-made for comfort and easy care.

This is good news for many busy families. Parents may have tight schedules that leave little or no time for hand-washing or ironing. Clothing may need to be wrinkle-free even after being packed in a bag to go along to day-care or school. Kids love bright colors, and if fashion deems it OK to wear checks with plaids, mothers will not have to intervene in the morning get-ready rush.

Modern fabrics, in addition to being very easy to care for, often provide warmth without bulk. Wool, a very traditional material, is often too rough for baby skin. Allergies may be another factor. Of course, many parents prefer natural materials, so personal choice comes into play. However, a toddler in corduroy pants won't feel as free and easy as one wearing a stretchy, hot pink cotton blend. Little kids need to be protected from the elements, but too much fabric in layers of clothing can restrict movement and be uncomfortable indoors and out.

Cute little girl clothes can be both fashionable and fun to wear. Check out all sources, from boutiques to thrift shops, from catalogs to the internet, to see what is available today.
