Nieces; little girl cousins; younger sisters; and the offsprings of mates: if nothing else, they're fierce fun to dress up.
And while their mums and dads have to consider the practicalities of their wardrobe, we get to dress them up in fabulous frocks and cutie-pie dresses.
That there is a toddler-aged style icon in the form of Princess Charlotte only fuels our dreams of their standout royal wardrobe (and it seems marginally more realistic than aspiring to Kate's closet).
Thankfully, one brand -
Little Larks - has a truly stunning selection of dresses, accessories, and shoes which will have you completely sorted for any forthcoming birthdays, christenings, parties, or anniversaries.
That
Little Larks is a Dublin-based brand is only an added extra; founded by Caroline Dunne - she has two darling daughters, Harriet and Holly, so she knows her stuff.
Here are seven of our favourite dresses from the current collection:
3) Lily baby dress in fresh blue gingham with daisychain smocking; €55; ages 6m and 12m
4) Sadie smocked dress in pink stripe with collar; €65; ages 2-5.
