she has some little brown boots or her normal cerise everyday shoes, really don't want to have to buy new shoes too.

Don't have more than £25 and would like to get more than a wedding out of it, (don't want much do I)

smarty casual wedding. I like flouncy type skirt/dresses, nothing Sarah Louise

there is a pic of her on my profile if you need inspiration, she's very slight and wears 18-24 mths.

thank you

she has these shoes

and these boots

has she no dresses that would do already? how about a pretty sundress from this year with a cardigan and/or a blouse/tshirt underneath?
(disclaimer: I think 2yo girls are generally gorgeous enough without being dolled up, yours is no exception , so dd rarely gets special party outfits unless MIL is buying)

this would look fab with the pink shoes and wouldn;t look too much for everyday wear afterwards with the boots

this is cool but not 'flouncey' - may be too casual?

or how about a pinafore you could put a pretty blouse under for the wedding then wheel out with a plain tshirt afterwards? Or is that too Sarah Louise?
DD was recently given this which I have put away for Christmas parties but will go into normal circulation afterwards (pattern slike that are brilliant for hiding stains...)

This with a long sleeved cream top and cream tight s would look fab and work with her shoes.

Floral, again with cream tights and the shoes.

thanks ladies,

mrsB I have just tried on the dress I bought her in the sale 3 months ago, along with all of her dresses and she seems to have had a growth spurt so a complete wardrobe rethink is in order.

Hadn't thought of Debenhams, I like the navy and pink casual.

I returned the said dress today with no receipt hoping to simply exchange for something else, (BHS) but had gone down in the sale to £5.20!! . It was £17 when I bought it. She Never grows normally, she's been the same height for ages now. Bloody kids.

Am going to car boot in the morning, might be lucky and pick up something for 50p.

This would look fab and be very hard wearing

THis? with wight tights and a white long sleeve? Maybe a bit grown up!

actually if she really wears 18-24ish I have stacks of the buggers upstairs as dd has just gone into 2-3

most are summery but I will have a rummage if you like

Ooh would you Mrs B? That would be fab, she need stuff for winter now, the stuff she's outgrown is all 12-18 mths

Thanks norks I hardly ever think of Mothercare, we have quite a big one whereI live so may pop in, some of those things you have linked to are very sweet.

BabyK a bit grown up for my liking as you said.

thank you
