Sweet Summer Dresses for Girls

Who doesn’t love summertime? Lemonade, warmth, and loads of cute dresses! If you’re the savvy mama to a little girl, I think you’ll be drooling over these delicious frocks as much as I am. (Seriously, why can’t they make adult clothes this cute?!) Happy window shopping!

Zara Printed Dress, $29.99 – This gorgeous coral printed dress brings a bit of international flair to your little girl’s closet. It’s perfectly summer and perfectly priced. Also perfect for a summer tea party.

Tea Collection Ostrich Smocked Mini Dress, $29.95 – This unique dress adds something new to the traditional peasant dress look with some too-cute ostriches stitched along the bottom. The smocked neckline and colorful embroidery add extra special touches to this sure to be noticed frock.

Mini Boden Strappy Sundress, $44 – Just looking at this adorable dress makes me happy. I love the bright pops of color and whimsical nature of this piece. It’s like a Popsicle of a dress.

Splendid Carnival Stripe Dress, $64 – Does Splendid ever make kid’s clothing I don’t love? This bright and happy summer dress is no exception. From the bright colors to the stripes, this outfit is just begging to get taken to the beach.

Roxy Pitter Patter Dress, $36 – A total California beach girl dress if we ever saw one, this sweet tank dress is made of the chic fabric of the moment – chambray – and boasts ruffles and adjustable tie straps.

GAP Rainbow Stripe Dress, $19.95 – Nothing screams summer quite like rainbow stripes and this easy-to-wear dress is no exception. Made of cotton jersey, this is the perfect dress for the girl on the go who likes to climb trees, run in the grass, and have a picnic.

J.Crew Embroidered Peasant Dress, $68 – Can they make this in a grown-up version please? I’m loving the bright blue with the white embroidery, reminiscent of those great little dresses you’d find on a vacation to Mexico or somewhere south of the border.

Misha Lulu Whale Dress, $72 – How darling is this summer-perfect whale dress from Musha Lulu?Among the many details I adore: the crochet trim, the color palette, and the fact that it’s made in the USA.
