Every girl has a particular shape, whether it is extremely petite, long and lean, hourglass, or full figured and everyone is different. This is great, because it makes every single person look different. It is a part of you and it is a part of your daughter. Therefore, it is important to find dresses for girls based on the form of the girl.
Dress for your body type and for how you feel and you will always be happy with your choices. Just because something looks great, doesn’t mean it will look great on your daughter, so make sure she understands this. It is nothing to be upset or embarrassed about because it is normal.
Petite
Those that are petite, like five feet and under, should consider wearing high heels or wedge shoes to make them look slightly taller. If your daughter is very young, this option may not work best, but it can still be helpful for older girls. The kind of dress that works best for small people are short dresses. Mini dresses work well but may not be appropriate for your daughter. However, a shorter option is a lot better than a long one.
If your daughter loves long skirts and dresses, then she will want to pick one that is form-fitting, though not too tight and will fall straight to the floor with no flares.
Small Chest
Most young girls are still developing in that area, so they probably don’t have a lot up top. Because of this, they are able to wear dresses with V-necks. If parents don’t allow v-necks or the school has banned them, you can still accentuate and feel pretty in a dress.
Choose dresses with embellishments at the top, such as beading or some dazzle.
Hourglass
Dresses for an hourglass figure should have a very defined waistline. This means the dress should be fitted at the waist. If you can’t find options like this, consider adding a belt to create this look with any available dress.
You may also want to consider dresses that have a flare at the bottom. Knee-length dresses with a flare and fitted waist are the perfect look for an hourglass figure.
Where to look
Finding dresses for girls isn’t just about color and fabric, but in the shape of your daughter. Find the right look for your daughter at Butterflies & Zebras.
