A chiffon party dress…it just sounds yummy! Maybe because “chiffon,” aside from being a lightweight sheer fabric, is also the name of a very light cake.

This tiered ruffled party dress by Indygo Artwear actually looks like a many layered cake with beautiful and colorful hand painted flowers. If you have an active little girl at home who spends her time running around after her pet cat or dog (or both), this party dress is an easy wear outfit that you can slip over her head for those special dress up occasions!

I loved that my little girl could be found climbing trees along side her cats but every once in a while I wanted to see her dressed like a little fairy princess!  The Indygo Artwear party dress is machine washable (tumble dry for easy care).  Hurry - there’s only one size left, 6x, on sale for $66.76 at labellaforachldrensboutique.com.

I’m not sure if I could trust either of my rough and tumble girls with one of these adorable pettiskirts from Sams, but they sure are appealing. They are available in a number of fun colors, but I am particularly drawn to this one which combines turquoise and lavender so nicely.

A great thing about this is that I can see a little girl wearing it with dressy shoes or making it edgy with combat boots—I think it is really flexible in that respect. It is made out of nylon chiffon, which the makers say is soft and comfortable.

It can be machine washed on delicate and lien dried. Sizes range from 12 mos-10 years. You can buy one for $50 from forgetmenotkids.com.
