Dresses - Girl

There’s the dress for school mornings, the one for birthday parties and the one kept carefully for special occasions. At Tartine et Chocolat, a girl’s dress accompanies every moment of childhood, from ages 2 to 14, in wool, velvet or cotton, with a little detail that brings a smile: a Peter Pan collar, a few flat pleats or subtle embroidery. It finds a natural place among our girl’s kid’s clothing.

A girl’s dress for every season

When winter arrives, wool or velvet dresses bring warmth to the day in deep navy, soft pink or flecked grey. Tweed and jacquard knitwear add texture to cold-weather outfits. And when the first rays of sunshine return, lighter cotton is just right for afternoons in the garden.

How do you choose a girl’s dress for school?

For school, choose an easy-to-wear dress that leaves her free to run around the playground and sit cross-legged in the reading corner. Long-sleeved wool or velvet styles can be worn with thick tights and ankle boots. When the classroom is warm, a cardigan over the top is enough, and our cardigans for girls button up over all the season’s dresses.

Details that tell a story of childhood

A scalloped Peter Pan collar, embroidered stars, a soft check or a more graphic houndstooth: every Tartine et Chocolat dress has a detail that makes it unique. Older girls favour clean-cut styles in tweed or with a high collar. Younger girls love skirts that twirl when they dance.

How do you care for a wool or velvet dress?

Always following its care label, wash a wool dress cold, by hand or on a delicate cycle, then dry it flat to keep its shape. Iron velvet inside out at a low temperature to preserve its texture. These simple steps help dresses last longer, often bringing joy to a little sister a few years later.

A dress for special occasions

For a wedding, christening or communion, girl’s ceremony dresses are adorned with pearls, lace and ecru. Little ones have their own baby girl dresses, inspired by the same designs in miniature. And to get ready for the new school year with ease, explore our tips for dressing your kid for school.
