Dresses & Skirts for Kids

Which dresses and skirts for kids can you choose from?

At Tom Tailor, kids' dresses mostly come in short A-line styles, alongside skirts for everyday wear:

• A-line dresses: flare out slightly and leave plenty of room to play and run around.
• Skirts: easy to mix and match with a T-shirt or jumper for a different look every time.
• Plain, patterned or floral: from simple to playful, depending on what your child likes.

Shopping by age? You'll find the right styles among our dresses and skirts for girls aged 2 to 9. Older children have their own range of dresses and skirts in sizes 128–176.

Which fabrics work well for children's dresses?

For everyday wear, cotton and viscose dresses are a good choice, as both feel comfortable against the skin. Cotton is hard-wearing and easy to care for, while viscose drapes softly and feels light and airy. Sweatshirt-fabric and ribbed styles are the cosy option when it gets chillier outside.

How do you style dresses and skirts?

A few extra pieces are all it takes to adapt dresses and skirts to the weather and the occasion. A skirt and a simple T-shirt make a relaxed outfit for nursery or school. When it turns cooler, add a sweatshirt on top, and leggings under a dress keep legs warm.
