Darling Clothing for Little Girls

by Katie Wallace | Updated: August 1, 2016

If you have little girls, you know all about tea parties, twirly dresses, and living room fashion shows. Matilda Jane Clothing makes it easy to embrace the magic of childhood with darling outfits that mix and match. Many styles even grow with your child! Dresses that transform into tops let your little ones wear their favorite pieces longer. My two girls, just 2 and 4, are already swapping clothes, and Matilda Jane makes that so much fun!

Whimsical Patterns and Playful Designs

What I love most about Matilda Jane Clothing are the whimsical, playful patterns. One dress can feature 6 to 8 coordinating prints, yet everything comes together beautifully. Adjustable straps, ties, and button loops allow dresses to grow with your child, and many can be paired with leggings for a completely new look. My girls were overjoyed dressing up in Matilda Jane for a tea party with their WellieWishers American Girl dolls, complete with tiny cakes and afternoon giggles!

Matilda Jane also offers solid-colored dresses that are full of charm, from ruffles and tiered layers to cute bows and ties. Everything coordinates perfectly with matching hair accessories and leggings.

For toddlers, Doodle Pants knit leggings are one of our favorites! They coordinate with Matilda Jane dresses and feature adorable characters on the rear for an extra dose of cuteness.

Afternoon Tea Guests

Every little girl needs a WellieWishers Doll from American Girl, a fuzzy kitten, and a favorite Matilda Jane dress! The WellieWishers collection includes five friends, each with unique outfits and coordinating Wellie boots. WellieWishers make the perfect companions for dress-up, tea parties, or just cozy imaginative play.

Timeless Styles for Every Occasion

Matilda Jane Clothing isn’t just whimsical, it’s timeless. Ruffles, pockets, buttons, and bows let girls embrace their girly side while exploring, twirling, and adventuring. The Fall Collection is filled with favorites like the “Oh Dear” tunic with lavender, aqua, and printed ruffles. Alternately, the “Happily Ever After” skirt has layered tulle and charming mauve pinstripes.

I even treated myself to one of my favorite Matilda Jane dresses. The “Splendid Dress” from the Once Upon a Time collection is a showstopper with bright blues, pinks, and fuchsias in a beautiful floral pattern. I love that Matilda Jane offers styles for moms too, many of which coordinate with little girls’ outfits for twinning moments.

Back to School in Style

Matilda Jane also makes back-to-school fun and stylish. Coordinating backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, and pencil cases feature the same whimsical patterns as the clothing line. This allows little girls to carry a bit of magic with them every day. From soft florals to playful dots in pinks, greens, and aqua, these items are functional, beautiful, and perfect for your darling girl.

Matilda Jane Clothing is a celebration of childhood whimsy, timeless fashion, and high-quality designs. Don’t miss browsing their latest collections to find outfits your little girl will love!

πŸ’‘ Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! 🧳 πŸ’‘ Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

🧳 Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

πŸ₯ͺ Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafΓ©s become our favorite spots. 

🏞️ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

πŸ“± Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

πŸ”¦ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations. 

➑️ Which of these travel tips would help your family the most?
