Children’s fashions for 2005 are
undergoing a quiet revolution, combining a relaxed playfulness
and subtle maturity that is evidenced in this year’s
special Pageantry fashion showcase designs for beauty, talent, and
modeling competitions and other social occasions. From fabrics
and cuts to colors and embellishments, the latest looks will
appeal to today’s fashion-focused young ladies and mothers alike. Lending a sweet old-fashioned femininity to many of this season’s designs are retro styling references, such as the skinny straps of camisole tops, floaty chiffon skirts, and intricate floral embroidery. In addition to children’s traditional white, bright pink, and tomato-red colorings, fresh pastels — coral, emerald green, violet — as well as cosmetic tones such as dusty peach, pinky beige, and eggshell are adding hip sophistication.
Also, small flourishes — like a sparkly bodice-cinching brooch, a contrasting lace trim, or a fur shawl — are bringing out the outstanding personality and charm that makes these gowns and special-occasion outfits deserving of a Miss Congeniality Award all their own.
