I think they are both adorable, I love pink and both are sweet, just depends on how dressy you want to go. The first one would get a lot more wear and when it gets hot you can just go with the top and bloomers without the blouse, heck buy both.

The second one I think mary-janes and little white socks with lace. Not a lover of tights unless it is cold.

I think Julie already has some adorable shoes picked out. Ll is right Julie, the first one will be able to be worn more. And once Easter is over, she can still wear those shoes and you won't have to worry as much about her ruining them because she'll grow out of them so fast.

Well call me a dope, but I happen to like the first outfit! Is everyone making the assumption that this is an outfit for church or something and expect that it should be more formal?

Abby is just a widdle wabbit of a girl, and there will be lots of time to do the dressup thing.

Just put on that first outfit with those really cute bunny shoes and have a ball!

I just don't like it, Huk. I don't think it should be more formal...I just don't like it.

They're both adorable, but you'll get more use out of the first one.

What if I took the parentheses part out of my original question and just asked "Do you like this dress?"

Just in general, with no specific purpose, then do you like it?

I already know the answer for some of you, but for the ones who didn't like it cuz it was not formal enough. In other words do you not like the dress period or you like it, but just not for a formal thing like church or fancy easter brunch...?

When someone asks about an "Easter dress" I think the "assumption" is that it's a dressy dress. I never went to church, but I clearly remember my Easter dresses. They were dressy and frilly. The first one was neither. And I just don't like the second one.

As far as the shoes, why not a simple pair of Mary Janes? Shoes that can be worn again? However cute those may be (and honestly, they are just too cutesy for me), they are a one-off and she will likely not be able to wear them next year.

I think they are all really cute. She's a little girl. She isn't doing the red carpet walk at the Academy Awards.

It's also important that she is comfortable or she'll be unhappy and that is not fun for her or for you.

ITA, Jimmer. I think comfort is all-important for little ones this age. And I LOVE the bunny shoes!!

I absolutely LOVED the second dress, but agree that there is plenty of time in her life to go 'all frilly'--esp when she WANTS to do so.

Does she have a mind of her own about clothes? Why not let her choose between the two that day?

I think the first outfit looks cute and comfortable. The second looks a bit too much like a confirmation dress.

Somewhere there are photos of me and my sister in the handmade red and green capes our mother made us for Easter. It's pretty funny. And there were tights and black patent leather mary janes!

I think the shoes are very cute, and they are not just a one time wear. After Easter she can wear them to play in if Julie wants her to. Esp if she gets the first outfit - whether it be for Easter or just for whenever. Or sell the shoes on ebay. Or give them to charity.

Guess I have a different perspective. All I ever got was plain Mary Janes. I would have loved cutesy.

The frilly dress is cute, but it's pretty much a one-time wear, isn't it? I'm a practical kind of gal, I'd go with the one that can be worn on other occasions. But then again, I'm the woman who goes to two seriously formal dinners a year, and I have two formal dresses that I just alternate, one to the first event, one to the second, then swap 'em for the next year; and by the third year it's repeat city!

Thanks guys!! I do appreciate all the comments!! Made me realize that she will only be this little for such a short time. So I can go baby-ish now and save the pretty stuff for later!

I am having fun with a girl, that is for sure!!! Shopping for a boy certainly is easier (AND CHEAPER!!), but you are way more limited. The only "fun" kind of thing I can shop for Ryan this Easter is a tie! And even then, kid size ties are pretty limited. And for sure I cannot get cutesy for him!!!

Julie, after having a boy first, it's like heaven shopping for a girl. I agree with the fancier dress for Easter. I loved putting my daughter in pretty Easter dresses with hats and Mary Janes. Of course, she'd go and plop down in the dirt looking for bugs but she looked darned good doing it.

Julie, I think the shoes are really cute and something she'll enjoy wearing even after Easter. She's just over 2 now, she gets to wear stuff like that just cuz, lol.

I like the second dress, it's cute, but I'd go with the first one. She'd get more use out of it, and you (or at least if it was me) wouldn't spend the whole time she was wearing it worrying if she was getting dirty or not. I really think it's cute, especially the bloomers, I always loved bloomers, lol.

Mamie, you are so right!!! I am in heaven!!! I am certainly enjoying Abby in every way!! I love my son too (to the sun and moon and back), but I am having a ton of fun searching for the fun detail shopping that you can do with a girl. Like finding the right colored socks and hair bows--oh and let's not forget about shoes!!! Boys just do not offer many accessories!!!

With boys, they've got adorable little baby outfits but they reach a certain age and it's jeans, pants and shirts.

With girls, the fun of shopping for them never ends!

I take forever to pick out my son's outfits b/c I want him to look cute. IF I had a girl? It would take me hours to get her dressed picking out tights, hair bows shoes, etc!

Until they are 14 and pickier than picky. Tho I found out with my bonus kids the pickiness stops when I tell them how much they can spend on clothes vs they can buy so many shirts and so many jeans. Funny how those $75 jeans don't look as good when they find out I am only spending $100 on them but they can choose what they want to buy.

I'm lucky. My kids have never been picky. My daughter and I are so much alike that our tastes are similar. I could bring home anything for either of them from the store and they'd be happy.

I remember being put into those frilly dresses and having that lacy stuff prick me. I HATED having to wear things like that!

And I'm sure I sat there in church with my legs wide open, cuz I just roll that way.

I think I am going to be lucky with Abby. SO far she LOVES LOVES LOVES things like shoes, sparkly clothes (she will actually cry if she sees one of her "sparkly" shirts and I don't put it on her. I have to hide them at times!!!) She also loves hairbows. Yesterday I went to take one out of her hair right before I put her down for a nap and she cried hard. Then I pretended to put it back and she was fine.

I will take advantage of being the one who makes clothing decisions for her while I can. If it turns out she does not like hairbows and that kind of stuff later, I will not force her. But so far the signs point to a "girly girl" who loves fun clothes.
