Girls' Dresses

Girls Dresses Size 4 and Up

There are two categories of girls' dresses: little girls and big girls. The sizes for little girl dresses range from 4-6X, while big girl dresses range in size from 7-16. A wide assortment of girls’ dresses is available in solid colours and prints.

Girls grow quickly. Therefore, it is often smart to choose girls' dresses either two inches bigger or a size larger. Use a soft tape measure and write down the measurements before you start looking for dresses. Check the measurements against a girl's size chart.

• Girl's chest: Have your child raise her arms and measure the chest.
• Girl's waist: Beginning at the back, bring the tape to the front of the belly button.
• Dress length for girls: Start the dress measurement from the middle of the shoulder and stop at the point you want the dress to fall.

Pick girls' dresses that suit your child’s personality and the event. Knowing the style of clothing that is suitable for the occasion will help you choose sensible girls’ dresses for your kids.

• Girls dresses that are casual: This category includes girls' floral smock dresses, long sleeve, jersey dresses, and pinafore dresses without sleeves for informal occasions. You'll find an assortment of colours, including blue, grey, red, black. Some have characters, flowers, or other designs printed on them.
• Girls dresses for parties: Girls' party dresses can be made of an assortment of soft fabrics. Try a blue or pink party dress to match a theme. Or select a party dress with a floral skirt and lace top.
