Sugar and Spice: Dressing Up Little Girls
Introduction
I must confess?"I'm a big fan of sugar-and-spice baby girl clothing. Give me lace, roses, hand-crocheted pinafores, and hand-smocked bodices, and I'm in heaven. Having raised two little girls and been involved in the lives of several nieces, I have a word of advice for all you ladies out there: if you love dressing your little girl in ribbons and lace, indulge as much as you can while she's still a baby. It won’t be long before she starts choosing her own outfits, and lively toddlers aren't exactly suited to frilly styles. So, enjoy it while it lasts and take lots of pictures!
Classic Looks for Baby Girls
For mothers like me, here are five timeless looks that will ensure your little angel always stands out?"at least until she starts picking her own clothes.
Hand-Smocked Polly Flinders Dresses
Nothing says "little girl" quite like a hand-smocked Polly Flinders dress. I was fortunate to stumble upon a box of vintage 1950s Polly Flinders dresses for just a dollar each when my youngest was an infant. If you’re unfamiliar with these treasures, they are true gems. Nowadays, these dresses can range from $45 to $175, making my find an incredible bargain.
The Sailor Suit
Combine red satin ribbons, navy blue pin-dots, and a white embroidered collar, and what do you get? Add a pint-sized sailor’s cap with a satin ribbon, and you have a beloved classic?"a feminine twist on the little boy’s sailor suit. Popular since the 1940s, this style never goes out of fashion.
Ruffled Pinafores
Think Alice in Wonderland with a gingham-checked dress featuring puffed shoulders and a ruffled hem beneath a starched pinafore. Originally designed as aprons to protect the dresses underneath, pinafores soon took on a style of their own. They button or tie at the back and are worn over a dress, complete with ruffled hems, shoulders, and delicate embroidery.
Ruffled Panties
Few things are more adorable than ruffled lace peeking out from the hem of a smocked baby dress. Ruffle-bottomed diaper covers and embroidered bottoms add another layer of classic charm that never ages.
Velvet and Taffeta Roses
For Christmas, a well-dressed baby girl wears taffeta and velvet, adorned with lace and roses at the waist. Choose a traditional red velvet bodice with a ruffled plaid taffeta skirt and a satin rose at the lace-trimmed collar, or go bold with black velvet and pink satin. My all-time favorite was a pearl gray velvet dress with a white taffeta skirt, highlighted by a baby-soft pink satin bow.
Enjoy these precious moments while you can, dressing your little one in these classic and charming styles. They grow up fast, and soon enough, they'll have their own fashion preferences.
