I like it. That's dd's worst color, but I'd put her in something that style.

[hannamarin]

I dont love that dress, but it is the style.
We are going to a wedding in a month with the .iLs. My MIL begged to buy the dress for Layla. Fine. Until she started shopping. She told me she thinks that dress looks cheap. I prefer poofy, flower girl/baptism style dress. She prefers a linen tennis dress for $200.
I think I am just going to buy a "cheap" dress since it is my kid.

[bunch]

200 dollars? She's out of her mind. Buy what you like. I don't go toward poofy usually, but I think that dress is cute. Do you have a gapkids? I've found some great stuff for weddings there recently on markdown.

[hannamarin]

Gap might be a good compromise. Thanks

I don't like how shiny the cream fabric looks. That makes it look a little cheap, IMO. I wouldn't judge you for putting your kid in it; it's just not my style. There's no way I'd spend $200 for a party dress for a baby. Baby Gap does have super cute girl clothes.

It's okay. The orange is too loud for such a cute kid.

I think it looks cheap (sorry!), and it is overly poofy/frilly for my taste, but I wouldn't judge you for it. Your kid, your choice. I suspect I would like the $200 linen dress your MIL picked.

I think the dress that bncha posted is cute.

Same here.

Nms at all. I tend to scour second hand stores for frilly girl dresses. They have em in droves. Bought many a Gymboree or name brand dress for $20 or less for my three year old

I think it would be a billion times better if it was not shiny. Just say no to shiny fabric.

[hannamarin]

That dress was a gift and she wont be wearing it to the wedding. It is way too small
But it is the type of dress I enjoy. I agree shiny and orange are not the best. But I do want poofy and a little frilly.

I will take your ideas.

ITA. That GAP one is way cute. The orange one is garish.

[thedash]

I do not like it but I really like the GAP dress. I can be OK with poofy/frilly dresses for little girls but just don't like that orange one.

I think this is cute:
