BABY CHRISTMAS DRESS

One little outfit or romper may be more stylish in color or perhaps another is easier to get on and off for a quick emergency diaper change. There is no reason why all baby girls Christmas dresses should not offer the best of both worlds but some fall short of the mark. My personal requirements are that they should be frilly enough to be feminine, in a styles that will never look dated and cute enough to enter in a baby Christmas picture contest and win first prize without any problem.

When it comes to baby Christmas clothes, velvet dresses are a classic. Red velvet with white fur trimming the neck, lining the hem and covering the cuffs of the sleeves where just the tips of your sweet baby’s hands will peek out. If you live in a cool climate where it is highly unlikely that your infant girl will get too hot in her 1st baby Christmas dress , by all means soft velvet is the way to go. It is comfortable and looks fantastic in Christmas portraits.
If the calendar indicates that the holiday season has arrived, but the thermometer says otherwise, resist the temptation to buy baby girl Christmas dresses in satin, corduroy or velveteen that will make her hot and unhappy. You may be able to get away with a sleeveless black velvet dress and white tights, but do not discount the value of one hundred percent cotton in a traditional red plaid print. A light cotton fabric in Christmas red with a beautifully smocked bodice that will be a keepsake forever is a viable alternative to rich, sumptuous velvet.
COLORS
The best colors are festive jewel tones that shimmer and sparkle in candlelight. However, some colors are traditional and never go out of style like:
- RED
- BLACK
- HOLLY GREEN
BRANDS
Trendy brands come and go but I recommend starting shopping for a baby Christmas dress with designers that are well known for their fashionable baby clothes for all seasons, not just the holidays. Here are a few brands that can be counted on for quality as well as cute styles
- RALPH LAUREN
- BONNIE BABY
- RARE EDITIONS
- BABY GAP
- OLD NAVY
- HANNA ANDERSSON
- CARRIAGE BOUTIQUE
STYLES
In addition to traditional boutique styles in luxury fabrics, there are cute baby Christmas dresses that are appropriate for everyday wear as well as Christmas portraits. These dresses may be decorated with appliqués of
- A playful snowman on the skirt
- Snowflakes and glitter
- Christmas ornaments
- Nutcrackers
- Candy canes
- Santa Claus and his elves
When buying your baby girl Christmas dress, you may want to pick up more than one. Accidents do happen and you would hate to be heading out the door to have her Christmas picture made only to have a little spit up or a messy diaper ruin the day.
