Today, a rare girl wears tailored dresses, and earlier this was considered the norm. Women ordered dresses from milliners for themselves and their daughters. At the same time, the dresses of the girls in many ways repeated the outfits of their mothers, sometimes exactly to the details. But often dresses for girls and teenage girls were made in a lighter version.

The dress for the girl was made from softer and lighter fabrics, while making it looser and less cumbersome, because the child needed to be given more room for play and growth.



In the Victorian era in England, especially in London, there were already many workshops and ateliers where dressmakers specialized in sewing children's clothing worked. The little ladies languished for hours in fitting rooms while the dressmaker worked on a new dress. Thanks to this, from an early age, girls were instilled in the taste and ability to dress stylishly.




You probably already guessed that all the girls in the photo are from wealthy or just wealthy families. In those days, only they could afford such dresses, and the children of the poor were generally dressed in rags or in clothes made of rough cotton fabric in summer, and clothes made of wool in winter. Today everything is much simpler, most working parents can buy a dress for their girl.

If you have time and desire, you can order tailoring of a dress, including Victorian style, the main thing is that your girl wants it.
