Moms get a little excited when they dress up their little girls. They become little models when their moms buy for them. This is not to blame the moms because for them dressing up and shopping for their little ones’ fashions can be quite addictive. The excitement of dressing your daughters is quite natural. After all, moms are girls too, and girls will always be girls. Dressing rituals are their bonding moments and they will be until they grow up.

However, this emotion should not take over security. When shopping for clothes for little girls, there are considerations to think about. For one, these little girls are still in their early years, not yet adults. Therefore, they should be treated like little children. They have very sensitive skin. They can choke if there are a lot of things on their dresses: buttons, laces, etc. They also have different clothing needs by activity, by season. When you go shopping, it’s good to take note of this and get some valuable tips per garment.

Since moms buy clothes for little girls, it’s best to first buy clothes for their usual activity: playing. Most of the time, girls play, so dresses with ruffles should be saved for special occasions. She should be dressed to spoil it. Play clothes are just as exciting as those little dresses. One thing moms need to remember is that during the toddler stage, there are several lifestyle changes that your little girls will experience. This should be taken into account when buying clothes for little girls. Little girls will learn to talk, walk, dress and feed themselves, and will naturally stop wearing diapers. In short, your activity level will skyrocket in this phase. Moms should also include comfort, ease of access, and functionality on their criteria checklist if they want to save themselves from future frustrations.

It is advisable to buy some of the basic clothing items that can be easily mixed and matched. Just a few of these are enough as they will be replaced soon anyway. Buy more tops than bottoms because more are replaced in a day. Other than that, young children’s bodies gain more length than their legs at this stage of development. Also, moms should make sure their toddler girl clothing purchases are 100% cotton. Although they do have a tendency to shrink, these are the best you can get when it comes to safety. The shrinking part can be easily remedied by buying clothes one size larger. Also check the care label to see if it is machine washable or not to ensure proper care of the garment.

For playwear, moms should buy a pair of those stretchy pants like yoga pants for easy movement and comfort while playing. Never forget winter game gear, including hooded jerseys and jackets, gloves and mittens for outdoor play. Any item attached to clothing must be large enough to prevent choking accidents. Underwear for girls is also a must. For those who are potty-savvy, a two-piece thermal underwear is the suggestion, while for those still in diapers, a one-piece bodysuit with snap closures in the crotch area is the way to go.

Remember that purpose and comfort always come before style. However, this will no longer be a problem. Today, the little girl clothing available in the market has evolved into one that stands for safety, comfort, and style. So moms, what are you waiting for? Be that designer and dress up your little fashionista.
