I have 2 questions regarding what 2 year old girls wear for shabbos. First, I noticed a lot of dresses + pants sets. That just seems a little funny to me because I feel like if it's a dress, the only thing they might wear underneath is a diaper cover, and if it's pants, the only thing they would wear with that is a shirt. So what's this dresses + pants?

If I find nice pants that the main color is black, what top could they wear with that? A plain black shell wouldn't do it, would it?

Thanks for your help Smile

Do you mean pants or leggings? I've seen tunic type dresses with leggings. To me that has a dressier look than a top and pants as the top is longer than a typical top but not as long as a dress which gets in the way for playing. To me, diaper covers are for crawling babies not 2 year olds. I also wouldn't put a 2 year old in pants for Shabbos it's too casual for me.

So what would you put a 2 year old in on Shabbos?

Mostly it's based on your own preferences. Personally, I put my girls in nice dresses or a nice top and skirt. I don't like the look of a dress and leggings for Shabbos but that's just my own preference. Also not a huge fan of pant outfits for Shabbos. But like a said each person's tastes are different so just go with what you like.

pretty feminine dresses with matching pantaloons / bubble bottoms / bloomers - that cover the diaper or panties

DD wears dresses or tunic type of tops with leggings (tight).

Just put her in a nice dress with a lightweight cardigan over it.

Depends on ur personal aesthetic (and neighborhood) .... Some do tunic and leggings, or dress or shirt/cardigans with leggings, etc.... Theres no wrong choice!

I got that skirt and matched it to this sweater. Both the grapefruit and pink scoop match it.

I just went to children's place today- they have a few different colored solid shirts. My daughter is a little older (almost 5, wearing 5T or xs) but they had lots of really cute stuff.

Just remember a one piece dress will be a lot easier than a skirt and shirt that will always be falling and look messy. Whenever I get the little ones a two piece outfit I attach the top and bottom with large clear snaps to keep them looking neat. Zara's has beautiful dresses.

I was there today too Smile

I saw cute Shabbos skirts but not tops. Whatever, I'm figuring it out Smile
