How to Choose Princess Fashions for Little Girls

Many little girls favorite play item is princess dress up clothes.  This guide will help you understand how to buy and care for princess costumes so that they will last for years to come and provide young children with hours of fun pretend dress up play.

The first step to choosing princess fashions or dresses for your little girl is to find a trusted brand.  Little adventures is a quality brand that is widely known in the dress up industry.  All of their princess dress up clothes are machine washable and made from high quality fabrics that are machine washable.  Their dress ups often last for years and are passed from child to child and family to family.  The Disney store, usually found at your local mall, or at Disneyland, is also a high quality brand that will last for many years.  Make sure they are machine washable before you buy them.  If they have many embellishments, like sequins and flowers, and toile full skirts, they are more likely to rip and not last for a long time.

After you have chosen a quality brand, make sure you have the right size.  There is nothing worse than buying a princess dress for your child for a gift or surprise and it does not fit.  The excitement wanes, as she has to wait for you to return it and get the appropriate size.  This frustration can be overcome by measuring your child from the shoulder to the ankle before purchasing any dress online or by taking those measurements to the store with you to make sure it will fit perfectly.  There is nothing worse for a little girl than to have to squeeze into a dress that does not fit and is uncomfortable or even worse, having one that is too long that she is tripping on all of the time.

When you have the right size, it is important that you get the "right" princess.  Cinderella is the most popular of the Disney princesses.  Most every little girl you ask will say their favorite princess is Cinderella, followed by Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle.  Belle is a good Spring and Summer dress to buy your child.  Sleeping Beauty is good for Fall and Winter.  Snow White and Cinderella are perfect for Spring and Summer as well as Disneyland vacations where they are allowed to meet their princess heroes and dress all day in their Princess Costume.

Next, to care for your costume, you will want to make sure to keep it clean so that it will be colorful and vibrant for years of pretend play.  If your child has several dresses to switch into, each one will last longer because the use will be spread in-between them all.  Make sure to wash them with fabrics and colors that are alike. 

Following these simple steps will allow your toddler or little girls to have precious princess fashions that will last long enough for her to hand them down to her daughters!  Maybe the princess dresses are for you.  You can follow the same simple steps to choosing princess dresses for adults as well!
