Before you know it, your child will come home with the news that their school’s Picture Day is coming up. Your mind could flood with thoughts of “Do they have the perfect outfit?”, “Do we need to buy hair products since their hair tends to stick up?”, and “Does my kid know how to do a picture-perfect smile on command?” Fret not dear reader, for we are here to help you. Here are some tips on how you can prepare your child for Picture Day.
If your school doesn’t require your kid to wear a uniform, suddenly all their clothes in their closet seem like “good enough” and “unsuitable” at the same time. You want your kid to wear something cute so you can reminisce in the photos many years later, and something comfortable so they don’t make a strained face when the photographer takes their photo. Take into account that your kid will wear this outfit for the entire day, so it needs to hold up in their activities (physical or sedentary).
Mila & Rose’s signature Twirl Dresses are perfect for this occasion. They’re cute and colorful so your child can express themselves for Picture Day, easy to put on in the morning, made of soft fabric so they will feel comfortable all day, and any stains they get will come out in the wash.
Now that you have the outfit, let’s talk about your kid’s hair. Hair can be a bit tricky, as the style you make in the morning could end up looking different when it’s time for the picture to be taken. We recommend a simpler hair style that will look good from the front, such as pigtails, twin braids, or even naturally down. It’ll also save you time in the morning. You can also use hairspray or gel to preserve the hairstyle’s look and move flyaways from the face. To contrast a simpler hairstyle, you can dress up your child’s hair with a Hair Accessory from Mila & Rose! One hair accessory, like a bow, headband, or claw clip will be enough, since too many hair accessories could draw too much attention away from your child's adorable face.
The morning of Picture Day can feel like a blur yet slow as molasses at the same time. Not only do you have to get your kid ready for school as usual, you have to take into consideration making their look picture-perfect. We recommend these steps for the night before:

For today’s frequently asked question, we have many asking us if the pockets and tags on our Twirl Dresses are sewn on backwards. We understand that it may look confusing at first, so we’re here to clear the air and offer a (pocket) change of perspective.
