The Dress Up

Girls, Disney & Dresses

There is nothing more inspiring than a good old fashioned princess for a little girl, especially if they’ve seen any Disney film of the last 60 years or so.

The back-catalogue of Disney films is crammed to the rafters with classically beautiful princesses in dire need of someone to wake them up, give them a shoe or help them escape from some sort of oversized castle. More recently, we had Frozen; a runaway Disney hit which told the story of not one, but two princesses, Anna and Elsa, who can never manage to get on. 

 

The popularity of Frozen, especially amongst small girls, goes to show the lasting durability of princesses in modern culture. In many ways, Frozen also subverts the tale of the princess as the damsel in distress into two separate characters that can think and fight for themselves. What’s important to remember about Anna and Elsa is that while the two are sometimes flawed, they have so much to like about their characters, and both have managed to become iconic within Disney’s ever-expanding canon. 

 

Of course, when a character becomes iconic, the fans will instantly want to be like them, and nothing truer could be said of Anna and Elsa. Small girls love the two characters because of their vitality as well as the film’s energy and subsequently want to become princesses themselves. A small girl’s wish of one day becoming a princess is nothing new, but Frozen seems to have revitalised this. So what is the best way to fulfil the wish? A fantastic dress is a good place to start.

 

If your little girl is obsessed with becoming a princess, whether it’s because of Frozen, Shrek, Tangled, any good Nintendo game (Zelda anyone?), or simply an old-fashioned tale from the Brothers Grimm, the first thing they’ll want is a dress. Luckily, we have plenty.

The Complete Package
A popular choice in our range is the Paris dress. Available in grey and ivory, this dress really accentuates the look if a real princess and is sure to make your daughter feel one step closer to Elsa and Annie. This is just an example, however; there are many different looks that your princess might want, and we have a choice to suit everyone in our wide range of stock.

 

Of course, every good princess needs a good pair of shoes. Anyone who knows the tale of Cinderella knows this. A good well-priced example is our wonderful designer Alexa kitten heel shoes, which complement any dress that aspires towards the look of a princess. They are available in white and ivory shades, so you just need to match the colour to the colour of your dress.

 

This may be more than enough to make you little girl feel extra special, but if that isn’t enough, then there are other accessories available to help complete the look. Why not try a headband or tiara? Hair slides or a hair comb also work equally well towards completing the look and feel of a true princess. If that isn’t enough, then you can go all the way and finish off the look with a veil.

 

Still not enough? A pair of white embroidered gloves is sure to finish the look off. No good princess will be seen without a nice white pair of gloves after all!

There are all sorts of other different accessories your girl might want to look like the princess she aspires to most. Fluffy boleros add a majestic tone, while other little accessories such as necklaces or pearl earrings can really make your little one feel really special (although they may want to be a little older for the earrings!)
