how to make her wear that dress

My daughter (who is 2.5 yrs old) is not liking her new tutu frock which she gona wear on my sis wedding… thats because of the fluffy look and the volume maybe. That dress is such a love plus expensive, so no question of she NOT wearing it.. but the thing is whenever i try t put that in, she pulled it off easily.. the frock have stretchable elastic on the top. like this Signature Lattice Tutu Dress by FrostingShop on Etsy
how could i make her wear this?

Re: how to make her wear that dress

Let her wear it around the house and tell her how pretty she looks. Tell her to spin around in it or look at herself in the mirror?? Maybe she'll start liking it?
When ever I compliment my 2 year old and tell her how pretty she looks in a certain outfit, I notice that she starts liking it more :D

Re: how to make her wear that dress

everytime i show her that dress, she runs as much fast as she could. I am thinking to attach a ribbon that goes like the strap from front and would tie like a bow at the back of her neck. Garden Fairy Princess Jeweled Hydrangea Tutu Dress
something like this. so taht she cant pull it off even if she wants

She sounds like me, my mom says I was a brat when it came to dressing.

Re: how to make her wear that dress

my munchkin is the same, the best way to do it is practise her wearing it at home a lot…compliment her and she may just wear it for half an hour!! @-P

Re: how to make her wear that dress

If I understood you correctly you are trying to physically force her to wear the dress and then do something with it that makes it physically impossible or at least very difficult for her to take it off herself. I don’t really like that approach.

Re: how to make her wear that dress

maybe you should have asked her for her opinion on it BEFORE you spent all that money on that dress? Even if she stilll didn’t like it, at least you would have tried.

You should make her get used to it though, if you don’t want a drama in your house on your sister’s wedding day.

Re: how to make her wear that dress

bribe her?

Re: how to make her wear that dress

LOL asking a 2 year old their opinion on clothing!! :hehe: You are funny

Re: how to make her wear that dress

You’d be surprised. My son is 7 and still doesn’t really object much to my wife’s choice when it comes to his clothing. But my daughter is very particular about what she will wear and what not. She’s almost 5 now, but this started when she was approx. 2.5.

Having said that: You would not really consult a 2-year old when you are buying the clothes in the store. :hehe:

Re: how to make her wear that dress

If I start asking my 2 year old little girl her opinion on clothing before buying them I’d go crazy!!! She thinks everything is pretty and wants me to put everything in the shopping cart :hmmm:

Re: how to make her wear that dress

Can the dress not be returned. Even though you love it and want her to wear it, if she is not comfortable in it, she may wear it for sometime (zabardasti) and then ask you to take it off during the wedding ??

Or

  • Show her some pictures of the dress and tell her how pretty it looks.
  • Pretend you want to wear it and try and make a sad face that you cant wear such a pretty dress.
  • If she likes some cartoon character/disney princess, tell her she will look like that in the dress

Re: how to make her wear that dress

can you return it and buy something simple/light?

Re: how to make her wear that dress

Re: how to make her wear that dress

Re: how to make her wear that dress

if i would ask her opinion she wont like it definitely! all she like is anything with dora in it! She dont like anything like gharra/lehnga too.. which is another story but i somehow would manage to put that on (bcoz she couldnt pull that off).. she pulled that frock easily because of the strtchable top..
