please help me find a really nice outfit for my dd 18months, i just want her to have one really lovely outfit

[ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree]

help wanted, i really want to get her a lovely dress to wear at xmas, shes 18 months

i was thinking a really nice little dress
and a shrug style cardi.

I've seen lovely shrug and dress outfits things in the supermarket shops and Marks and Spencer is good too. Then ofcourse there's Monsoon which has pretty dresses. Probably lots around in Next and Boots, Hennes too, but you can get some great ones in TKMAXX too.

Oh and Matalan is good place to look too.

samsonara, i looked in next m and s today.
and matalan the other week.

i did se one thing i liked in moonsoon, but didnt lve it iykwim.

hang on ill link it so you can see what i mean ......

This is my favourite right now: velvet dress with hearts - warm and cosy and way funkier than a cardi in my opinion They have matching pink and red tights too.

here

they also had some fluffy sort of shrug that was the green colour in the dress.

my2 thanks but it was not really what i had in mind , but thansk very much to go to the trouble of linking it for m

ohh cute,
what about this songbird shrug dress

PearTree, my main problem with that is that it's so obviously Monsoon kwim? For a special outfit I think it's nice to be a bit different.

If you like a more classic look, have a look here

dress

my dd (5) has this with the matching shrug..it is really lovely and machine washable which alot of monsoon stuff isnt so great for young ones

Meant to say: those Nectarina dresses are expensive, not sure if you had that much in mind - but I think the one at the bottom is beautiful (Penelope) and it's on special offer

try gap. cool and stylish, usually bold prints.

actually saw some nice stuff in John Lewis. No pansy pale pink stuff btu some proper strong colours

dress

samsonra, that is very nice but i still dont love it, but very good price.
i paid that for one of those little cardis the other day i could of got it from adams and got the dress too!.

my2 thanks for helping but i dont like those collars.

i don't mind if its expensive as its a special xmas thing.

widgy i like those but im not loving those.

christmas i tried gap today

Songbird, are there no designer boutiques doing sales near you?

DD2 has this, it is gorgeous plus it can be used more of a day dress than some of the Monsoon type dresses once Christmas is over. They have a cardigan to match as well. Your DD would need age 2 in the designer outfits as they run small.

I wanted this for DD2 as well but they didn't have her size. I bought a few Catimini bits in the sale from a shop near me, I love it as it washes so well, better than Monsoon to be honest.

pg im not too keen on the collars. i like the 1st one more.
i dont know of any sales near mk.

here i quite liek this

here and i quite like this

here quite like this too.

First Monsoon one too old for a toddler imo, second one nicer. Is there a Monsoon near you? I am going to pop into Liverpool and see if SIL has any discount left so I can get DD2 a couple of dresses.

Third one a bit old looking as well but hey, if you like them!

have a look on here - some lovely stuff but not cheap here

do you not have a Zara near to you? they've some brilliant dresses in just now, really lovely

yes theres a monsoon in mk.

dizzy i forgot to look in zara!

doh

thanks for the link, i will have a nose

tango dress!
