Most of the time we are happy with our babies being dressed in a simple tee-shirt and a clean diaper. Add some clean socks to that ensemble and we are ecstatic, but occasionally we want to find baby dresses to put on them that will give them an elegant look.
Baby dresses that provide an elegant look will be less comfortable for the child to wear so we want to make certain and put these on the children only when they are going somewhere really special. Birthday parties, Christmas parties, or the occasional trip to the mall for having their picture made, are all appropriate times to let the kids wear baby dresses that give them an elegant look.
When you take your children to parties you want them to look well dressed, well groomed, and be on their best behavior. If having them appear happy, and not be fussy, is the most important goal for the evening then make certain the baby dresses you choose to give them an elegant appearance are made of fabrics that do not chafe them.
The skin of your infant is delicate. It has not had time to become toughened and materials like lace scratches this delicate skin. Wool makes the baby itch and it feels prickly to them so they cannot be comfortable. You want soft materials that feel good to the baby if you wish for the baby to act comfortable and happy in front of your friends.
Remember that a baby needs to be free to move. If the clothing you choose to make them appear more elegant is restricting then you are going to have an unhappy child on your hands. Buy clothing that they can freely move in so they do not feel pinched, restricted, or held down. If you want a happy baby then let them be comfortable.
Many parents think that their child has to have on satin, lace, or some other expensive clothing to appear elegant. Then when the parent gets the child in the outfit they spend their entire evening trying to stop the child from soiling the garment. If you feel that you must buy an expensive outfit for your child to wear then have the fabric coated with a protectant that will help it shed water and resist stains. Then you can relax and have a better evening, and the children can relax and have a better evening as well.
Baby dresses designed to make a baby look more elegant are often made from uncomfortable materials. Baby dresses that are designed to make a baby look more elegant should be designed for comfort.
