The Variety of Girls' Matching Dresses

If you have twins, you may dress them in matching outfits all the time, on occasion or never. Modern parents of twins often recognize the individuality of twins and maintaining distinct personalities. This includes clothing choices. However, the majority of parents of twins dress them in matching outfits at some point - perhaps for a special photo opportunity or at the urging of family. Twins attract a lot of attention and dressing them in the same outfit is one way to garner even more.

However, for parents of girls of different ages, you can still dress your girls in matching dresses for various occasions. This works for casual as well as dressy events. Girls who are sisters or close friends often enjoy wearing matching clothing. Girls also enjoy matching their clothes to their mothers' styles. Mom-and-daughter matches sometimes incorporate a skirt for Mom with a matching dress for daughter.

Not an Exact Match

At times, you'll find the same pattern and design on dresses of different size, but minor details will differ. For instance, a toddler dress may be sleeveless, while the matching girl's dress in size 4-6 will have cap sleeves. This adds a little more individuality and can make the older girl feel comfortable in being the big sister.

You can also find dresses in the exact same style and makeup, but in different colors. If a girl has a favorite color, she can choose a dress in the color she likes best, while her sister can do the same with her favorite. Either way, they're sure to look adorable in their matching style.

Finding Matching Dresses

You can usually find dresses that are similar or the same in your local department store, but buying custom girls dresses is another option to explore if you're having trouble finding what you want in a brick-and-mortar shop. Parents of twins can simply buy two dresses in the same size. Parents of big sisters-little sisters should look in the individual size section for each girl to see if they can find a match. You'll have more luck in the smaller sizes (anything below juniors) as clothing manufacturers often make the same or very similar styles to fit girls from infant size up to preteens.

Try these retailers for girls' matching dresses as well as mother-daughter or family options:

  • Little Blessings carries a wide selection of clothing styles for the whole family. You'll find matching dresses for girls and choices for mom-daughter matching.
  • Laina Line: Simply choose the size you need in various dresses. Sizes range from infant to big girl, so parents can easily find one style in various sizes, making it easy to create the matched look.
  • Babies 'n Bows offers girls the chance to wear dresses that match their favorite dolls. Girls up to size 12 can have handcrafted dresses in a choice of fabrics and their dolls can wear the same style.

Crafting Your Own

Parents who are handy with a sewing machine can save themselves a search by making dresses. This way, you choose the material, pattern and design, offering you a greater degree of control. Because many sewing patterns feature small variations, it's easy to create a sleeveless dress, a cap-sleeved dress and a short sleeved dress, all from the same pattern.

You'll often see girls wearing the same or very similar style of dress in wedding parties, playing the part of flower girls. However, matching dresses work for a variety of occasions, so for playtime, party time or even for school, sisters or best friends will love dressing just like someone they love.
