Dress for my daughter for weddings. How to wear it?

[Jules1987]

So, this is a baby related fashion dilemma

I'm going to buy this dress for my daughter to wear to a couple of weddings.

She's 14 months. I think I'd like her to wear some thin, ivory tights and ivory shoes. Would that work with this dress or would it need to be socks?

Thanks

I really dislike the fake strapless look on babies and she may well look like a pink meringue and get hot and bothered.

However if you love it get it.

Gorgeous dress but I would choose socks rather than tights if you are planning on shoes. Or no socks or tights if you are going with sandals. That might be too informal though if it's a fancy do. I'm sure she'll look beautiful!

I think it's gorgeous!

I too would go for socks, especially because it may be a hot day. You could always take both and change, weather dependent!

"fake strapless" What the actual??

It's not fake strapless, it's a fucking dress, for a baby.

I meant one that wasn't floor length - a pretty summer dress that was pretty but practical and comfortable. Monsoon usually have some. A dress that allows the child to be the focus not the dress. A dress that doesn't trail in mud or cause trips.

crumbs - the dress above isn't floor length by the way.

Fuzzy, sorry if I sounded snippy- I wasn't meaning it as a direct response to you .

Little socks would be perfect.

That's ok Shockers and I think my reply came across as a little abrupt which wasn't meant - it's hard to always convey meaning on these threads.

I think the dress is lovely, tights or socks would go, I'd prob opt for frilly socks.

FGS!!!!! It's a fucking dress for a baby, no one is actually going to care how dressy it is. It's perfect and i imagine she will look gorgeous! I would deffo go for the tights and shoes.

Some of you ladies really need to re evaluate your lives if you're worrying what a baby is going to be wearing to the wedding! If the dress is not the same colour as the wedding party you'd have to be a moron to confuse them. Also I'm 100% no bride would care about a baby in a pretty dress, unless they were bridezillas

Correct!! Some of these comments are ridiculous!!*

These shoes aren't a great match, are they? I think I may be clutching at straws but they are reduced to £4.50. Lol.

I think I probably need a plain shoe.

Her feet are only a size 2.5 or 3. Seem to be a lot of shoes starting in a size 4.

Buy the dress op, it's so pretty and if you think it's suitable you're probably right as you know the bride and groom.

It's an OTT tacky dress. 70s nylon
Go for it, that's what weddings are for

The shoes are nice.

2014 hardly tacky

Do you think shockers? Maybe I should buy them and see how they look on.

I kinda agree with 2014 - it's not to my taste at all. Looks way too OTT.

If the brides are happy then go for it but I think you run the risk of other people thinking you were miffed that your younger daughter wasn't a flower girl.

Two little girls turned up as flower girls to a friend 's wedding and I thought it was quite rude (she had no flower girls at all tho).

I also think it looks uncomfortable and a bit tacky, sorry.

Socks and shoes rather than tights tho. I didn't think putting a toddler in tights was a thing, but I don't have daughters so willing to be corrected there.

Frazzled in all honesty, I couldn't care if others thought that. It couldn't be further from the truth so I'm not too concerned if people want to gossip about it. Anyway, I think the people I associate myself with are too kind to be botching about something like that. She'll be a baby in a pink dress and her dress is nothing like the bridal party. I can't believe people think it's "tacky". I'd love to see what your idea of a classy dress is

The dress is lovely op, I'd take no notice of the comments saying otherwise.
