Independence day, July 4th is just around the corner. And for all the Americans out there, that means one thing — it’s time to celebrate! All over the United States, barbeques are being dusted off, patriotic bunting unravelled, and invites are being sent out. But of all the July 4th preparations, none is more important than the outfit.
Independence day is one of the few days of the year where the usual fashion rules don’t apply. For fashion savvy little divas, it’s the perfect opportunity to get a bit creative with the dress. Whether you’re planning an informal garden get-together or a full-blown fireworks bash, we have the perfect July 4th dress inspiration for your little one.
In this post, we pay homage to the holiday and show you how to dress your little girl in the perfect July 4th dress.
Red, White and Blue
Independence day wouldn’t be the same without some good ol’ fashion American red, white and blue. Synonymous with the American flag, the meaning of these colours to American spirit go as far back in American history as the founding of the country itself. And the best part? The colours of the American flag are easy colours to adapt into your little girls July 4th dress for a patriotic statement.
