It is important to choose a garment style that is appropriate to the
age or body style of the child. Dresses that have a waistline are not
flattering to a baby or a toddler. Bishop dresses are a great standby
for both infants and toddlers. Waistline styles do not flatter heavy
children. A bishop style or a high yoke is much more attractive.
Conversely, if a child is thin, be careful not to make her dresses too
long so that they accent her thinness. An older child of nine or ten
usually looks better in a more tailored dress style than a bishop type
dress.
