Whats in style now for little girls- shabbos clothing?

Executive Member Joined: Jan 30 2008 Posts: 250

I would love to buy a new dress for dd. But I'd like some advice on what is currently in style for 6 yr old girls to wear for shabbos. My dh tells me the puffy flowery jumpers with a white teeshirts under are not being worn by the girls at shul, and thats what I really put on her. I simply cant find anything else. and that is what the outside world has in stores for easter now.
What would you put on your dd for shabbos? and where can I find it?
please post links to pictures so I can see examples.

Thank you in advance!

Go to shul and look, or have DH invite a few little girls home to play so you can see, or ask him which outfit he finds acceptable and call that mother to find out where she shops.

hahaha, I HATE the puffy flower jumpers!

but, I took dd to a store yesterday and I picked out the most adorable mod-looking yellow and black dress with big white circles (very 60s style) and she said "no way!" and begged me for every puffy flower jumper in the store. I finally gave in and bought one for her because she was being so wonderful but boy, do I hate it.

she's also 6 btw.

I saw a stunning black and white plaind jumber in gymboree or crazy8, I cant rem which. so you get the jumper look but its smoother, and no flowers, more of a classy design.

I saw very nice jumpers in stores for shabbos, lots of tiered things, and a lot of grey. also sequins on everything.

Interesting to see these responses. I've seen different. I see lots of 6 year olds basically dressed as mini adults. Straight skirts and long sweaters with a belt. or the tunic look with shell underneath, etc...

I know not everyone goes for that look but just wanted to share how I see some very stylish people dressing their girls.

So I'm obsessed with buying my kids clothes..I spend way too much money on them(whole other story). I find those flower easter dresses very nerdy. Tiered skirts with shirts are very cute..Dont know where you live but check childrens place they sometimes have very cute things. Shells under clothes are fine as long as the outfit or dress is cute.
I just bought this skirt with a very cute tee(not on their website anymore)

when DD was little I shopped at below the knee .com is a tad pricey IMO but the stuff is good quality
now she is too old and tall B'H! Very Happy

What price range are you looking for? And is there a specific length it should be?

junees jr may have stuff online for her, and they ship.
what about crewcuts for cute cardigans/ tops? or dresses/jumpers?

I like this in the black and white stripe, and it's a great price...

This can work if paired with a long, silver necklace or a cinching belt.

However, I do not know budget/ which community- so what you are looking for may be different that what I, and others, have posted. I like the idea above to go to shul and see what the other girls are wearing, so you can see what you want.

prez, I LOVE the last dress you posted. unfortunately my dd would never wear it in a million years Sad

help! my kid thinks the easter type dresses are the most beautiful garments in the world! I guess I should be proud of her that she doesn't care in the least what the other kids are wearing but still, I hate the way they look Sad

these I love but its too big, size 7 will be too big, I need 6 or 6x.

I think under $40 would be best. but if its $45 or so and its a complete outfit, I may go for it still.

I love this, but my dh doesnt...

Are these the type she wears now? or that you want to get? In terms of where I live, that is not what the younger girls wear, but it may be dif. in your community.

ETA- Nicole, maybe try steering her to dresses you like, and have her accessorize, maybe by choosing a belt or color shell etc, don't squash her individuality, but by guiding her and letting her choose between items you like as well, both will be happy...

Where you live would probably make a big difference.

CherryBerry, the items you posted are cute, but they aren't what little girls are wearing these days. If you look at all the other links, almost all the clothes are solid colors with contrast (black/white, navy/white, black/gray) and embellishments like bows, ruffles, or sequins, much like adult clothes, just smaller.
