WHY THE LUCY DRESS IS THE MOST ADORABLE AND COMFORTABLE BOUTIQUE GARMENT TO ADD TO A LITTLE GIRL’S CLOSET

Finding a twirl-worthy dress for a little girl is easy, but getting one tailored to her personality down to the fabric is tricky. The Lucy Dress is a one-of-a-kind design that exists simply to make girls happy. With so many colors, fabrics, and design options, finding the right Lucy Dress can satisfy even the pickiest little one.

 All About the Lucy Dress

Cute yet comfy, breezy but high-quality, the Lucy Dress’ versatility makes it incomparable to any other dress style. The dress features a fitted bodice with a flared double-layered skirt,  similar to a traditional babydoll dress but with more movement. A few key features of the Lucy Dress include lace trim on both skirt layers, a sash that ties around the waist, and matching bloomers or shorts.

The basic Lucy Dress design consists of a soft and stretchy cotton spandex fabric blend. Cap sleeves are the most common, but some styles have long sleeves or are sleeveless. All Lucy Dresses are vintage length, short but not too short. The design is flowy, bouncy, and perfect for twirling around in.

Different Styles of Lucy Dresses

Lucy Dresses come in many combinations of colors, fabrics, and patterns. Whether a little girl wants to wear dinosaurs to school or sport bright pink Rainbows at the park, Girl August has it all. The Lucy Dress is always frilly and breathable, no matter a girl's style.

Patterned Lucy Dresses

The Lucy Dress that offers the most personality and variety is the patterned Lucy Dress. The bodice and top layer of the skirt feature various fabrics printed with dinosaurs, popcorn carts, zebras, and unicorns. The second skirt layer has a different pattern to complement the theme. One Lucy Dress features a pink bodice and skirt covered in zebras, while the second skirt layer is a black and white zebra print.

Rainbow Lucy Dresses

For lovers of color, the Rainbow Lucy Dress is a must. Its bodice features Girl August’s signature design, a fluffy tulle rainbow right in the center of the chest. Rainbow Lucy Dresses typically feature a skirt made of polka dot, gingham, or multicolored heart-patterned fabric. While some Rainbow Lucy dresses are sleeveless or long-sleeve, most have cap sleeves that cover the shoulders.

Basic Lucy Dresses

If patterned fabric is too busy for the occasion, Girl August has Basic Lucy Dresses made of various cotton knit fabrics ideal for casual outings. All the Basic Lucy Dresses have capped sleeves and feature a two-tone design with no patterns. Color variations include French blue and black, pine and pink, azalea and navy, and latte and pumpkin.

How to Style Lucy Dresses Through the Seasons

Swap sandals for high-top Converse and knee-high socks as the weather gets chilly. A cardigan over the top of any Lucy Dress will keep little girls cozy on breezy fall days. In the winter, layers are essential. The long-sleeve Lucy Dress is ideal for wearing on top of thermal leggings with a pair of boots. For extra warmth, add a cardigan or coat on top.

Spring is one of the best seasons to wear a Lucy Dress. The weather warms up, and there’s no need for heavy coats or boots any longer. Break out a sleeveless Lucy Dress for the hot summer weather. Style it with dainty sandals to keep cool while playing outside.

Care Tips

All Lucy Dresses must be washed delicately to ensure they stay brand new as long as possible. Parents should machine wash Lucy Dresses in cold water using the quick wash cycle and use color catchers to prevent bleeding.

Avoid washing with dark colors and remove immediately after the wash cycle. Do not machine dry. Instead, lay the Lucy Dress flat to air dry.
