Where would you go to find a cute dress for a young toddler (size 18m) to wear to a "cocktail attire" afternoon wedding in Maine in September?
-
Most of my formal clothes for both kids come from Smocked Auctions or Cecil and Lou. But it's very Southern/Preppy, not sure if that's your style or not.
-
Jannie and Jack, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, or my mom's favorite, Zulily.
-
Carters and Osh Kosh have some cute dresses right now for toddlers - dressy, but affordable.
I had good luck in the past finding Laura Ashley dresses on Amazon for DD.

Same as @Truth Bombs. What's your budget? Her favorite color?
-
Janie and Jack. It's available online and you can get it within a few days.
I've also heard great things about the kid's section at Nordstrom.
-
Janie and Jack.

@Mrs. Pickle: @Truth Bombs: might be too preppy for us.
Her favorite color is yellow, but that might just be because she likes saying the word!

How familiar are you with Maine weather?
I live in Maine, and a lot of people from away tend to assume it's COLD for a huge amount of time. That's not entirely untrue, but just as an FYI September is a really weird month here... can be in the 80s one day and in the 40s the next. I'd suggest whatever it is you get, you have layers on hand. Tights and a cardigan would be attire appropriate and easily removed if needed.
-
Children's Place has some cute and very affordable dresses.
-
@nutmeg36: I lived in northwestern MA, so somewhat familiar. Definitely planning on layers. @Mrs. Cereal: Omg those are beautiful. I think I'm going to splurge and order this one:
-
@Mrs. Turtle: Yes! Love it! I got this one for LeLe to wear in a wedding as a flower girl this month. I LOVE it and they have amazing customer service.
-
@Mrs. Cereal: how does their sizing run? O is 21 months. 33 inches and 24 lbs but tends to need smaller sizes on top with narrow shoulders. I'm thinking 12-18m will be fine.
-
@Mrs. Turtle: the sizing was pretty dead on.
-
I got some cute dresses for my 18 month old to wear to a wedding from Target. They have a lot more options online than they do in the store, and I couldn't stomach paying much for something she would only wear once.
She wore this to the wedding: http://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/51779405?wid=520&hei=520&fmt=pjpeg
and this to the rehearsal dinner: https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/52075749?wid=520&hei=520&fmt=pjpeg

@Mrs. Cereal: how's the quality on Trish scully? I've admired those many times for lo. So ethereal and beautiful. I love that they're not babyish but not like, adult clothes just sized down either, ya know?
ETA https://trishscully.com/delphine-dress-emerald/ I have deep love for this one
-
@JerricaBenton: I think the quality is pretty good. I bought two dresses from there and they are holding up well. Plus, the customer service is excellent.
-
@Mrs. Cereal: thanks!
-
Honestly, I have the best luck for occasion dresses at consignment stores! And the prices are usually really good. Since things like that don't get worn a ton, they are usually in really good shape. Good luck!
-
@Mrs. Turtle: Trish Scully is on zulily fairly routinely. Might be cheaper than buying direct.
Her favorite color is yellow, but that might just be because she likes saying the word!
