New Year’s Eve is a celebration like no other. Marking the end of another wonderful year, it’s the perfect opportunity to dress up to the nines and beckon in the new year in style. For the kiddies out there, it’s a chance to stay up late and play the party princess all night long.
When it comes to dressing for the big night, your choices are all about the razzle-dazzle of fabulous frocks, exquisite frosting and opulent accessories. And for your little starlets, it’s glamour all the way. But with so much riding on one night, choosing the perfect outfit can be tricky.
Here, at David Charles, we’ve made it easier than ever to find the ultimate party dress to bid farewell to the passing year. Browse all of our luxury bespoke dresses by age, colour and design to find the perfect gown for the occasion. If you’re still not sure how to dress your little princess, look no further than this post. We break down our best tips for finding the perfect dress for your little girl whether she is an angelic toddler or fashion-savvy teen.
Little Angels between 2 and 4 Years Old
There are few things more adorable than a little angel in a beautiful gown. To help your little one look as cute as a cupcake, opt for a soft palette and pretty floral designs. Powdery pinks, opulent ivories and regal golds are all fabulous choices.
All our dresses are made from top-of-the-line fabrics. For your little ones, you can’t go wrong with softer than a cloud yet lavish tulle layers or enchanting luxe textured techno fabric, finished off with a ribbon and jewel-embellished bow. A flared full-length skirt gives the perfect party silhouette and will make your toddler feel like a pretty princess all night long.
For something extra special, channel fairy tale appeal with puffed balloon-hem sleeves and opt for dresses with plenty of ruffles for a decadent look. A sparkly hair band is the final frosting that will transform your toddler into a princess for the night.
Precious Princesses between 6 and 8 Years Old
Precious princesses will look fresh and fabulous in dresses that channel the jewel-like icy tones of the season. Frosty blues, sensational silvers and pastel greens are all great colours for little girls that want to turn heads on the big night. Also, floral designs and splashes of sparkle won’t go amiss.
New Year’s Eve is the time of the year that little girls can play at being big girls — this age range can graduate from the pomp of fairytale dresses to something a little more sophisticated. Knee-length dresses give a thoroughly modern update on ball gown glamour, while frilly shoulders give that couture look.
Luxurious satin or delicate lace are both perfect choices, while waterfall pleats and soft tulle create a luxurious layered look that adds instant star quality to your little one’s evening. For a perfectly pretty flourish, opt for dresses with a matching floral corsage at the waist. To finish off, add one of our fabulous pearl bracelets for a touch of elegance and grace.
Stylish Growing Girls between 10 and 12 Years Old
For fashion-savvy growing girls, go for dresses that are dynamic and playful, classy and stylish. Tweens will inspire and delight in rich hearty colours such as emerald greens, ruby reds and luxurious gold.
To help your girls stand out from the crowd, embrace evening elegance with opulent satin opera gowns fit for a princess or go for exquisite floral embossed fabric. Three-quarter length fluted sleeves, decorative bows and brocades will also give a top-to-toe couture look that’s perfect for the festivities.
Our sparkly or velvet clutch bags are the perfect finishing touch of glamour and are excellent for holding little trinkets and treasures.
Elegant Teens between 14 and 16 Years Old
When it comes to dressing teens, keep it chic and perfectly on trend. The colourway should be sophisticated and stylish, so opt for dresses in chic black, rich plum or frosted floral designs.
When it comes to the cut of the dress, keep it simple and svelte. A velvet luxe pencil pleat skirt that ends just above the knee will give an elegant A-line silhouette that will make your teen feel like the belle of the ball. Smart cap sleeves or open sleeve trims cut an elegant shape, while a round ruffle neckline will make teens feel like a million dollars.
A petite velvet clutch bag is the perfect addition to the look and perfect for storing that all-important teenage device — their cell phone.
