Twirling in Tulle
Who could resist a spin in layers of chiffon, a tulle tutu or a fairy-tale dress that floats on air?
Head in the Clouds
A tulle dress is unrivalled for twirl-ability. This light-as-air fabric moves like no other and creates a high-volume, meringue-like swirl with the most graceful of spins. Needle & Thread's exquisite dresses are superb for twirling, thanks to their full-skirted, tulle-lined silhouettes — and the beautiful embellishments are too pretty not to mention. And if it's a pretty party dress they're after, look to Junona and RaspberryPlum for floaty tulle dresses in a confection of sweet colours.
Swirling in Sequins
They'll light up the whole party in these twinkly, sequin-spangled dresses. No disco ball required.
Sparkle and Shine
There's nothing like a sequin party dress to bring plenty of sparkle to the dance floor. For a decadent shimmer, our Coeur by Childrensalon dress is scattered with butterfly-shaped sequins which catch the light beautifully. And if they are looking for all-out glitz, brands like Graci, Junona and EIRENE have embellished their party dresses with dazzling layers of sequins. They'll be twinkling like a mirror ball!
Pirouetting in Pleats
Perfectly pressed pleats give natural movement as if floating on air, perfect for pirouetting on the dance floor.
Pleats, Please
If your dancing queen isn't into sparkles and shimmer, then a pleated dress might be just the ticket for her moment in the spotlight. Modern, stylish and made with twirling in mind, pleats add natural movement and life to fabric, making them the perfect choice for maximum dance-floor footprint! From delicate micro pleats from Patachou and Self-Portrait to dramatic structured pleats from Jessie and James London, our collection is filled with statement styles that promise to win her first place in the dancing competition.
Floating in Florals
Discover dresses blossoming with a bouquet of floral prints, made for twiring barefoot around the garden.
Petal Power
As a new season arrives, our dress collection begins blossoming with a bouquet of floral prints. And with it comes a flurry of invitations for celebrations in the sunshine, from garden parties to summer weddings. For the outfit, a beautiful floral dress with layers of billowing tulle to spin, prance and float around the garden. We love Petite Amalie's whimsical designs with their all-over ditsy florals, and favourites Junona and Patachou have floral looks that will have them dancing the night away. And to complete the look, a flower crown from our collection for a princess-worthy finishing touch.
