A real ball with dancing, small talk and delicious snacks happens rarely in life, and any girl wants to look like a real princess at such an event. Therefore the choice festive dress– perhaps the main item on the to-do list before the upcoming celebration.
Style
There are two approaches to choosing ball gown. The first - practical - assumes that the outfit will subsequently be used at other events. Therefore, often girls, and more often their mothers, choose Nice dress, which will be suitable in the future for attending parties, weddings, birthdays. In this case, it is worth paying attention to styles that have not lost their relevance for decades. Among these options are a baby doll dress, a bustier with a long skirt, an exquisite new look silhouette or a godet, which is often called a “mermaid”. To prevent the outfit from looking old-fashioned, like a sleeveless bridesmaid dress, you should choose a classic style with a modern twist - with an asymmetrical neckline or interesting inserts. The second approach to choosing a ball gown is a one-time item. In this case, you can afford an ultra-fashionable style, color and material. The fate of such a dress is known: in a couple of years, either everyone without exception will have it, or it will start to look too shocking. In any case, you won’t want to wear it, but for a specific ball the outfit will be extremely relevant.Material
Since the ball, and any other formal event, involves a long stay in festive attire, it is important that it is as convenient as possible. That's why Special attention When choosing a ball gown, you should pay attention to the material from which it is made. Unfortunately, cotton or linen, in which the skin feels comfortable, are not suitable for evening fashion, and synthetics do not allow air to pass through well and contribute to increased sweating. Therefore, the ideal material for sewing a ball gown from the point of view of comfort and hygiene is natural silk. However, among the variety of modern fabrics, you can choose incredibly beautiful jacquard, taffeta, lace and chiffon with a low content of synthetic fiber.Color
An evening outfit should be chosen based not only on fashion trends. At least two more criteria will help you find something beautiful. Firstly, the fabric should color the girl, so first you need to determine your belonging to a specific color type. The wrong shade will either make your complexion look unhealthy or add years to your complexion. And secondly, it is worth considering the nature of the event - at a real ball with mazurka and waltzes, light colors are more appropriate pastel colors, and at school graduation they are more bold and bright. If the event is of a character, more mature and deeper tones are acceptable.Video on the topic

Tip 4: Ball gowns for children – unforgettable childhood memories
At such special events as family holidays, themed matinees, children's birthdays, a ball gown for a girl will come in handy. Some parents are hesitant to buy for their daughters lush outfits with crinolines and ruffles, fearing that children in such outfits might not be very comfortable. However, for a girl, a ball gown is exactly the outfit that makes you feel like a real princess from a fairy tale.
Fashionable styles and fabrics
If, when sewing everyday children's clothing, you use natural fabrics, such as cotton or satin, then these materials are unacceptable when creating ball gowns.

As for styles, they can be very diverse. However, when choosing a dress, you should not purchase models with too much long skirts. A child can easily become entangled in them and get injured. It is best to choose dresses whose skirt length reaches approximately mid-calf.
The bodice of the dress can be decorated with lace, rhinestones, embroidery, or it can be completely devoid of decor. In this case, you should choose models with luxuriously designed skirts.

Children's ball gowns: fashionable colors
Very often, children's ball gowns are small copies of dresses for adults. However, this should not apply to the color palette, because what suits an adult woman does not always suit a baby. For example, a black dress is not exactly an outfit that can be purchased for a girl. Of course, there are exceptions to the rules. For example, outfits in rich burgundy and blue shades will look very good on blond children. However, it is better to choose models in more cheerful shades.
The most popular color for children's ball gowns is white. If you don't like plain white outfits, then you can choose a model in which the classic White color contrasts with a bright and rich shade. White dresses with delicate pink, blue or peach decorative trim also look very original.

Timur Mazaev was with you, aka MoneyPapa - an expert on family finances.
It is very difficult to overestimate the benefits of time spent with your child. Here are just a few points that make it clear what value they represent for your baby.
- I am needed! When communicating with parents, the child feels your attention: he is needed, he is loved, his parents like to spend time with him. Showing attention becomes an important strategy for showing love, which will help a lot little man build harmonious relationships in the future.
- I'm like you. The child learns, adopts the behavior of his parents, which will help him adapt more easily to society, in particular to school life.
- Development of intelligence, expansion of horizons. By communicating with parents, the child learns something new, receives answers to his numerous and sometimes tricky questions, which are born in a small head almost every second.
- Strengthening the bond between parents and child. Thanks to this, even in moments of your absence, he will feel the security and support that you generously gave him in moments of time together.
- Formation of positive self-esteem. The child will understand how valuable he is to you, because you are ready to give him the most valuable thing you have - your attention and time.
How to spend quality time with your child
It is important that you yourself enjoy communicating with your child, and do not do it formally, for show. Children sense falsehood very well. Do not forget that your child easily “reads” your emotional state, and the event you forced will not benefit anyone.
Try to plan your time together, consulting with your child: mutual anticipation of the holiday brings no less positive emotions than the holiday itself. Be attentive to your child's wishes. He must understand that they are also important to you. If you have a controversial issue, try to come to an agreement with your child so that the child is not left disappointed.
It will be great if such a pastime becomes your family ritual. For example, preparing a special dinner with your child on Fridays, when the menu includes the dish most loved by the household. Or the ritual of feeding ducks while walking in the park. Such rituals strengthen family ties. As an adult, your child will practice such traditions in his family, introducing his children to family holidays and get-togethers.
Ways to spend quality time with your child
- Board games. Choose and buy a new one board game, study it together. The joint thought process brings people closer together.
- A trip to the zoo, museum. Communication with animals brings children untold joy. It’s good to visit some petting zoo, where you can pet and feed the animals. Don’t forget to communicate, tell your child what you know about them.
- Joint creativity: drawing, modeling, singing, inventing stories. Creative energy is the most creative. You may be amazed at the results of your joint creativity with your child. This is a very valuable experience and valuable memories. You can be proud of your shared creation by displaying it in a prominent place in your home.
- Reading books, discussing favorite characters and storylines. This also applies to watching feature or animated films.
- Go to your favorite cafe.
- Walking, feeding ducks, flying a kite, other outdoor games.
- Going to an amusement and amusement park.
- Going to a skating rink, a swimming pool, or a sporting event, such as a football match.
- Party! A joint holiday dedicated to some joyful event. It doesn’t necessarily have to be large-scale. Let it be something not very significant, but joyful. Just celebrate something positive with your child. This will teach him to notice and celebrate his victories and strengthen his positive self-esteem.
- Picnic in nature.
- A heart-to-heart conversation, during which you listen sincerely and carefully, delving into everything that the child wants to convey to you, and answer all his questions.
Something that will be remembered for a long time
When you spend time with your child, a joint emotional field is formed. It includes new impressions, sensations, emotions, and the formation of new behavior. Shared joy will bring you closer together much better than teachings, instructions and formally obligatory events.
Being close to you will allow your child to feel safe, which means he will be bolder in his actions.
Such activities contribute to the development of sensory organs and strategies for expressing emotions. Creativity develops imaginative thinking and forms new neural connections.
Remember that days spent together are a wonderful resource for a child, something that will be remembered for a long time. Even as an adult, these good memories will provide strength and support.
The communication skills that the child actively acquires at such moments will help his social adaptation; he will learn to communicate openly and productively with other people.
Parents are the first people with whom relationships are built in a person’s life. This is a kind of training ground. The child will carry the skills acquired there further into his adult life. The wonderful thing is that in such communication he has the opportunity to get to know you more, to understand that an adult can also be childishly spontaneous and even a little reckless. Adults do not always have to be strict and serious, like robots, but can easily allow themselves to relax in play, creativity and sincere expression of feelings and emotions. This will help the child, becoming an adult, to avoid constant stress or attempts to level out tension in the most inappropriate way. in the best ways, for example, alcohol.
And finally, a wonderful and very useful trait is strengthened - the ability to enjoy simple things, to see good and interesting things in the world around us. After all, to please a child, you don’t need to order a yacht or take him to an exotic island, you just need to show attention and interest. Such simple joys form positive ideas about the world around us. In the future, he will not have to go out of his way to do anything extraordinary in order to somehow please himself.
Imagine that you are treasure hunters. Hide the “treasures” somewhere in the house and draw a map. If you wish, come up with a quest from the hints. This will make your game longer and more fun.
Cook together
Choose some simple dish and cook it with your child. This is both fun and useful - let the child get used to doing feasible work from childhood. The main thing is there are no rules. Experiment, try new cooking methods and forget about cleanliness.
Write a letter to the future
Let the baby tell you about his desires, fears, and experiences. Write together what he dreams about, what worries him, add the child’s drawings and photographs to the message. Another great idea is to add a handprint to the letter. Let your little one dip their hand in the paint and leave a print on a piece of paper. Imagine how exciting it will be to re-read all this in a few years and at the same time compare how much your palm has grown.
Set up a cinema
You don't have to go to the cinema; you can host it at home. Pop some popcorn, choose an interesting movie, and immerse yourself in the movie atmosphere for a couple of hours.
Make your own postcard
Make your grandma, aunt, friend or anyone happy with a homemade card. You can time it to coincide with some holiday, or just like that. This develops creativity and also teaches the child to give joy to loved ones.
Play board games
For each age you can choose your own game - “Monopoly”, “Crocodile”, “Who am I?”, “Mysterious Labyrinth” and many other games will delight your children. In addition, they not only entertain, but also develop.
Go on a picnic
During the warm season, nothing brings the whole family together like a joint hike in nature. Have a picnic either in the nearest park or somewhere far away in the forest - in any case, the effect will be amazing. Bring sandwiches, some snacks, a ball or badminton, play tag or look for interesting insects. Fun and unforgettable experiences are guaranteed.
Go to a planetarium, children's theater or exhibition
Children really like joint outings “out into the world”. Dress up in your best clothes, think through your trip, tell each other about your expectations from the event. In addition, this is a great way for a child to learn something new and interesting.
Children always need our attention. If you work with them purposefully, and not just once, they begin to more clearly perceive everything that happens around them and with them. How to spend your days with your child? There are a lot of ideas, get acquainted!

2. Become a “fun postman”
We often don’t have enough time to communicate with relatives and friends, so we can organize a small marathon among our acquaintances. Prepare in advance with your child beautiful drawings for each recipient - grandmother, aunt, baby's friends. While the child is busy drawing, call the recipients and find out if they will be at home, warn them about their arrival - let them prepare a symbolic reward for the “postman”, for example, candy or fruit. If you have a car, then in just a couple of hours you will have time to send postcards to many friends - just don’t linger anywhere.
3. Master the good old games
Many parents complain that their children hardly spend time outside or play games. Maybe they just didn’t tell the kids about them? Teach your child to jump over an elastic band, draw hopscotch or a snail, tell about Cossack robbers and tag.
4. Learn traffic signs
Go for a walk, and along the way, tell your child about the main road signs. Let this not be a boring lecture, but fun quiz, where rewards are given for correct answers. In general, the theme of the “camping quiz” can be anything, depending on the age of the participant - colors, letters, reading inscriptions, professions, numbers.
5. Visit a zoo, dolphinarium or aquarium
Here we have combined different options for getting to know the world of wildlife - depending on what you have in your city. Such trips are perceived with delight by children. Maybe the child will like some section at the zoo - the problem of how to occupy part of his free time will be solved.
6. Feed the animals and birds in the park
If in a zoo you can mainly only look at the animals, then no one forbids feeding the inhabitants of the parks. These could be ducks in the pond, squirrels, and, of course, you will see pigeons in any public garden. Don't forget to bring treats for the animals you are visiting.
7. Go to the pool or water park
Such water activities are good for everyone: in the summer, a trip to the water park can compensate for the inability to go to the sea, and in the winter it will remind you of the warm months and relaxation.
8. Go to a children's theater
If you have never been to the theater, now is the time to catch up! Usually all information on performances can be found on city posters or on theater websites. Study the repertoire in advance to find something that suits your child’s age and interests.
9. Visit an amusement park or arcade
This is a “summer” and “winter” holiday option. Of course, the amusement park usually has more entertainment, but it is only open during the warm season. Halls with slot machines for children are always available. Here you can not only shoot and run, but also go on popular 5D attractions. You just need to carefully choose the film - small and overly impressionable kids may be scared of a realistic picture.
10. Organize a race, swim, flight
Today, children's toy stores sell cars, helicopters, and radio-controlled boats. Many of these toys are quite affordable, and they will cause genuine delight in the child. Such games captivate not only children, but also adults, so be prepared to spend more than one hour controlling your “equipment.”
11. Arrange a photo shoot or video shoot for your child
The most unforgettable weekends often end with the phrase “What a pity we didn’t take a camera.” A separate entertainment can be a photo shoot, for example, in a park or on a playground. To prevent your child from getting tired, allow him to change outfits, make faces, and take a variety of poses. You can give your baby a children's camera.
12. Organize a game “In Search of Treasure”
Draw a map on an A4 piece of paper, for example, of a playground labeled “Treasure”. While the baby is not looking, hide a little surprise in this place. Tear the sheet with the map into equal parts (for example, 4 or 6). Come up with competitions on how your child can earn a piece of the map, for example, by asking riddles. Once the treasure hunter has collected all the pieces of the map, he can put them together and find your surprise.
13. Launch lanterns into the sky
Today, sky lanterns are very popular; they fly skyward with bright lights, reminiscent of a miracle. Such an interesting thing will certainly delight the child, in addition, he can make a cherished wish by launching a flashlight into the sky.
14. Make and fly a kite
If you have at least a modest ability to create things with your own hands, invite your child to make a kite. You are responsible for the “engineering” part, and the child can decorate the kite as he or she wishes. On the right day, fly your kite into the sky.
15. Visit an exhibition, quest or some master class
The weekend can be not only interesting, but also educational if you go to a museum or gallery. Various math classes for children are becoming increasingly popular among city mothers: one day you can learn how to cook pizza or chocolates, make some kind of toy, or take a painting lesson. Study the city poster - there will probably be an event in it that you can attend with your child, for example, some exciting quest in a museum or in the fresh air.
16. Go pick mushrooms, berries, and go fishing together
If the child is big enough, you can take him with you on a hike to collect forest products. Such an adventure will be remembered for a long time, and a sound sleep after a day in nature is guaranteed. A trip to the forest is also a great chance to start collecting your own herbarium.
17. Take your child to the circus
This place is associated with celebration, fun, laughter and joy. Surely the child will receive a lot of positive emotions.
18. Visit a library, bookstore or exhibition
Introducing a child to a book is the responsibility of every parent. A book for a child is a ticket to Magic world adventures.
19. Go to a sporting event
It can be serious football matches, hockey, basketball, and junior section competitions. Perhaps your child will like some sport so much that he will become seriously interested in it.
20. Build a sand castle
There is nothing more interesting than building castles, digging sand trenches, and sculpting sand cakes. Help your child build something grand, like a castle for dolls or soldiers.
We hope that among all the options presented you will find something useful and give your child a wonderful weekend filled with emotions and pleasant events.
