'Tis the Season for Flower Girl Dresses and Children's Formal Wear
by Chris Robertson

Spring is just around the corner, which means it's the season for children's formal wear. Weddings call for flower girl dresses and boy's tuxedos, as well as for First Communion dresses and boy's suits. What's in this season? Read on to find out!

Flower Girl Dresses

When it comes to flower girl dresses, you have several options that will bring smiles to the faces of your attendees, and make your flower girls feel like little princesses. A sleeveless satin bodice with a satin skirt and organza overlay is a simple but stunning combination. Scattered colored stones with a matching band at the waistband coordinates well with the attire of others in the bridal party. Depending on the age of the flower girl, choose either tea length or floor length.

For a feminine yet upscale look, choose a flower girl dress that is tiered in the back. A full peau satin skirt with one tier in front and three tiers in back, accented with a large bow with tails and fabric roses, will make the day special for both the flower girl and the bride.

If you're budget conscious, don't overlook some of the discount flower girl dresses that are available online. Just as beautiful as the pricier flower girl dresses, you can find satin and organza dresses, as well as tiered dresses, for between $35 and $80.

Communion Dresses

Every little girl will remember her First Communion for the rest of her life, so Communion dresses are an important part of the ritual. An organza scalloped princess style gown with coordinating veil will make her feel special, as will the simple lines of a satin Communion dress with lace and a removable bolero jacket.

Boy's Suits

This season, there are many choices for boy's suits. Whether it's his First Communion or whether he's attending in a family wedding, he'll be thrilled to wear a traditional five-piece suit. Double-breasted jackets are back in style, and come in white for the perfect First Communion outfit. For a more formal occasion, a boy's tuxedo - with or without tails - is always appropriate.

Christening Dresses

When it comes to girls' christening dresses there are many choices. An all-white batiste dress with smocking on a bodice dotted with white pearls, along with matching bloomers, is adorable. For more traditional christening dresses you can choose a length of up to 32 inches with intricate embroidery and a matching bonnet. Keep in mind that a christening dress is something that can be handed down for generations, so choosing a timeless style may be in order.

Christening Outfits for Boys

For boys, christening outfits are usually five-piece sets that consist of a shirt, pants, bowtie, vest, and hat. The typical pant length is either shorts or knickers. Some sets feature brocade, while others have satin trim.

How to Buy

With the Internet, a wide variety of children's formal wear is available at the click of a mouse. Plus, you're more likely to find discount flower girl dresses and bargains in children's formal wear at an online store. When ordering online, look for a company that not only offers flower girl dresses, boy's tuxedos, Communion dresses, and christening dresses, but that also asks you for the date of the event. Before ordering, check out the sizing charts, and don't hesitate to ask questions. Then, on the big day, make sure that your little ones enjoy themselves, and feel as special as they look!

A Beginner's Guide to Beauty Pageant Dresses and Gowns
by Tiffany Hansenn

When it comes to beauty pageants, everyone knows that pageant dresses and gowns can make or break a contestant. Choosing the best pageant dress is critical to ensuring that you have given the competition your very best effort. Along with exuding self-confidence, poise, and grace your choice of pageant gown may be the determining factor of how the judges score your performance. It is important that you make the decision of what gown you will wear carefully.

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a pageant dress is color. When choosing the color of your dress, it is important to understand what colors look best with your natural skin tone and hair color. Certain colors are more flattering to the wearer then others and you should never choose a dress simply because it is your favorite color. You may find that working with a pageant trainer is the best way to develop your eye for shades and ensure that you choose pageant dresses that compliment and enhance your skin and hair tones, rather then work against them.

Knowing your body shape is vitally important when selecting a dress. Always choose a dress that compliments your shape. If you are long waisted, then don't choose a dress that has a short waist line, and vice versa. You will also need to consider how revealing you want your dress to be. Judges may look unfavorably upon some dresses that are too low cut or have excessively high slits. Knowing what the judges are looking for is crucial for making your decision. It is also important to follow any rules and guidelines set forth in the pageant competition.

The season that the pageant is hosted in is also an important factor to consider when choosing a pageant gown. Different colors are associated with certain seasons and it is important to choose a color that is appropriate for that time of year.

You will also need to ensure that the dress fits perfectly. If it is too tight around the bust or too loose, you may end up forfeiting the win. You will also need to determine what type of neckline your pageant gown should have. Your natural figure and shape will determine what type of neckline will look best on you. The neckline should also compliment as well as enhance your shoulders.

Knowing your body type and choosing a dress that enhances your best features is essential to winning beauty pageants. You will also need to be wary of choosing a dress that has too many patterns or extra detailing. If the gown looks too "busy" the judges may not be impressed and you may walk away with a very low score. Studying past pageants may help you decide what the judges are looking for when it comes to pageant gowns. You want to make sure that you choose a gown that looks smashing, but not trashy. Choosing gowns that compliment your skin tone, don't reveal too much flesh, and have tasteful patterns contribute to ensuring that you will look poised and graceful in your next pageant.
